Best known as a chef, food writer and influencer, Anna Barnett’s first priority when renovating her new(ish) east London terrace was, of course, the kitchen. When she moved it upstairs from its previous home in the sunken basement, she gave it prime position across the whole ground floor and filled it with plenty of Italian marble (an almost-too-big Rosso Verona dining table betrays a love of hosting) and crockery collected from her travels. There’s an overwhelming serenity that infuses the whole house, a clean canvas on which Anna can get creative with cool, gold-toned plastered walls and smooth, curved lines. This calmness continues in the paired-back office space that Anna has installed under the stairs on the first floor with a desk made from the marble cut-out from the bath (an example of how she hates waste, picked up from her years as a cook). When she is sitting at the desk, coffee is poured, a candle is lit and all distractions are blocked out with noise-cancelling headphones — Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro being her go-to. Watch for a tour of her warm and inviting renovations.

    Quite a number of lovely east London homes featured on the channel. The Samsung products placement, subtle as a chainsaw.

    It takes a lot of guts to open your home to strangers because it's your life story and your personal space. It's your family that you wish to protect. I appreciate these home tours and the creative people who show them. This a beautiful home - soft and peaceful. Thank you. 🤍

    This is absolutely gorgeous and I love how excited she is about supporting local artists and makers. Does anyone else notice British people say “kind of” as a filler phrase? I’ve noticed this with the folks featured on this channel and others.
