London-based interior designer Naomi Astley Clarke has waved her design wand over a red brick Victorian mansion block in Battersea Park, to craft a home that's cosy and chic. The canvas was a former residence of the owners, a young couple who after a stint in New York, yearned for a London return with their two small children.

Now, with a growing family, the layout of this 1800 sq. ft house needed to be reconfigured, which, despite working remotely with the New York-based clients, Naomi managed to do with dashes of design ingenuity.
