Caroline is the chicest girl in London, designer Peter Mikic says of his client, French fashion designer Caroline Sciamma. We have this rather unique understanding of each other. For her part, Sciamma says, I first met Peter at a lunch, and it was love at first sight with us. I was completely seduced by his energy and his standards. Consider it a Britain-based globally minded admiration society. Australian-born talent Mikic and Sciamma came together to create the interiors for a sprawling home in west Londona project that was a staggering seven years in the making.Sciamma and her husband purchased the property upon realizing she was pregnant with the couples now eight-year-old son and that they were one bedroom short in their current abode. (She also has a 16-year-old son and shares two stepdaughters, 18 and 25, with her husband.) It took negotiating Londons notoriously prickly rules and bureaucratic hurdles for historic homes, but after four years and a new architect, the renovation was finally underway.Caroline Sciamma poses in the drawing room in front of a de Sede DS-600 Snake sofa, over which hangs an art piece by Daniel Buren. The sculptural floor lamp is by Vincenzo De Cotiis.Art: DB - ADAGP, Paris / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York 2025Paris-born Sciamma chose a single space to channel the reigning style of her home city, keeping the drawing room very neutral and very relaxing with custom light gray plaster walls. It features a bespoke sofa and rug by Peter Mikic Studio, coffee table and chandelier by Vincenzo De Cotiis, and a floor lamp by Lara Bohinc Jesmonite.Art: Stephen ParrinoThe red tape began to feel more like a blessing than a boundary. Its a Grade IIlisted house, which means in the UK its a protected home. So all the doors, floors, the corner sinks, and the ceilings are protected, explains Mikic, who worked with architecture firm Rundell Associates and contractor 800 Group. But when Caroline, [her husband], and I walked through the house, we thought that all of these original features are so beautifulyou want to retain them anyway. The ceiling in the main sitting room had 50 years of paint on it, so it was all stripped off and repaired.That ceiling lives in the visually arresting yet soothingly monochromatic drawing room. Sometimes as Parisians, were very black, white, and gray, Sciamma explains. I wanted to have one room that was very neutral, very relaxing. Because its so beautiful, its the only room I kept very Parisian. Along with the ceiling, the parquet floors and a large raw wood door are original, and the walls were finished in a dove gray polished plaster with a distressed finish, so it sort of looks like an old palazzo, Sciamma says.The most neutral room in the home is accented by standout pieces like a Jean Prouve Scal daybed, a Francois Monnet chair, and a sideboard by Vincent Dubourg.The room is punctuated by the sort of mix the owners and Mikic favornewly acquired finds and long-loved vintage pieces from the couples collection like a De Sede sofa, Gio Ponti cabinet, and a Francois Monnet chair, balanced with gallery pieces like Vincenzo De Cotiis lamps. You already have all these textures and materials, Mikic says, And Caroline did a wonderful job by going to Paris, he says, referring to Sciammas frequent trips to Frances famed markets throughout the renovation. I love furniture, she says. If its trendy or not, I really dont care. Its just about my feelings toward the piece and what it brings to me. A large art piece by Daniel Buren featuring graphic yellow stripes lends a small dose of color to the room.Most PopularCulture + LifestyleThe Best Coffee Table Books to Gift This Year, According to AD StaffersBy Jessica ChernerArchitecture + DesignThese 24 Beautiful Places of Worship Are Built Into NatureBy Katherine McLaughlinBathroom13 Farmhouse Bathroom Ideas That Will Inspire You to Embrace Rustic CharmBy Morgan GoldbergThe dining room features standout orange Loro Piana fabric on the walls, offset by Yves Klein blue artworks, as well as a sculptural Ferro Vitro Chandelier by Cox London, and a bar by DFace.Art: Succession Yves Klein c/o Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris 2025.

Harland Miller.Because Caroline entertains so much, we wanted a rather magnificent kitchen, Mikic explains. We immediately went to this stainless-steel finish with curved brass corners. The pendant light is custom by Peter Mikic Studio based on a design he created for his own home. The marble is Esmerelda and the bar stools are by Morentz.Sciamma considers the custom banquette and table designed by Peter Mikic Studio in the kitchen perfect for small dinners at home with the kids. The armchairs are by Boris Tabacoff and the picture light is by PSlab.Art: Axel Htte/GALERIE WILMA TOLKSDORFFar more saturated shades can be found elsewhere throughout the spaces. Bold orange Loro Piana fabric lines the dining room walls, offset with Yves Kleins Venus Bleue, a favorite work. Shades are muted but no less impactful in the primary bedroom. We chose this beautiful olive green, which we used on the walls on silk wallpaper, Mikic says, contrasted by a curved pink upholstered sofa and brass canopy bed repurposed from the couples former home. An adjoining primary bath is done up in deep jade green onyx. I love colors, and I wanted to have different vibes in each room. But you can still feel the essence of it, Sciamma says, There is a link and a signature throughout.For the primary bedroom, Mikic explains, the couple wanted something a bit moody and more calm. It features Shantung Sage wallpaper by Altfield. The ceiling pendant light is by Porta Romana, the coffee table is by John Tomjoe for Portuondo, and the sconces are by Gio Ponti.Most PopularCulture + LifestyleThe Best Coffee Table Books to Gift This Year, According to AD StaffersBy Jessica ChernerArchitecture + DesignThese 24 Beautiful Places of Worship Are Built Into NatureBy Katherine McLaughlinBathroom13 Farmhouse Bathroom Ideas That Will Inspire You to Embrace Rustic CharmBy Morgan GoldbergThe primary bath mirrors the serene, moody palette of the primary bedroom, anchored by Artfield wallpaper in Shantung Sage. The chandelier is by Porta Romana.Sciammas dusty pink dressing room is outfitted with a push-door system so she can decide whether to have her wardrobe on display or tucked away. The carpet is by Peter Mikic Studio, the wallpaper is Phillip Jeffries in Desert Rose, and the vintage pendant light was sourced from the Les Puces antiques market in Paris.A pice de rsistance of the home is Sciammas dressing room, a vision drenched in soft pink. Calling Sciamma pleased with how it turned out would be an understatement. Its become a closet, an occasional office, and a cozy meeting space when friends stop by. That was the dream room that Ive never had before, she says. Peter really understood what I was looking for.Part of that mind meld comes from a shared history in the fashion world. Mikic is a graduate of RMIT, a fashion school in Australia, and he built a career under major designers before pivoting to interiors, while Sciamma came up at Vogue Paris before launching her prt--porter leather brand SKIIM. One of the reasons why we work well together is because we both come from fashion, but we have an understanding of interiors. We know what we like, and we understand what we dont like, Mikic says. Sciammas styling career continues to inform her approach to interiors. I learned from the best because I was working with Carine Roitfeld, she says, She taught me so much about aesthetic, beauty, and fabrics, that materials that do not necessarily match will go together. I like the unpredictable, the unobvious, and thats how Im aiming to live my life. Peter really understood thatand he also pushed me out of my comfort zone.Most PopularCulture + LifestyleThe Best Coffee Table Books to Gift This Year, According to AD StaffersBy Jessica ChernerArchitecture + DesignThese 24 Beautiful Places of Worship Are Built Into NatureBy Katherine McLaughlinBathroom13 Farmhouse Bathroom Ideas That Will Inspire You to Embrace Rustic CharmBy Morgan GoldbergAn iconic Campana Brothers Cake stool created out of stuffed animals makes a playful statement in the hallway that leads into the childrens rooms.The childrens playroom has a circus theme, with bold red and white stripes adorning the ceiling, a pendant light by Hakola Hanna Anonen, rug by Turnberry Rug Works, and a multi-activity train table by Melissa and Doug.

Even with so much familial attention, playing host remains one of the couples favorite pastimes. Every time I see someone, they say, Oh, we were Carolines last night, Mikic says with a laugh.Mikic was tasked with creating a fun but sophisticated room for one of Sciammas stepdaughters.

I think the house itself really captures their spirit. It has a wonderful, eclectic feel to it, the designer says. Seeing them love it means so much to me. Id say theyre the dream clients.The couple loves to entertain friends in the former conservatory, now featuring a custom pink onyx bar designed by Peter Mikic. It has joinery by NEJ Stevenson and burgundy leather upholstery by Bill Amberg Studio.
