PREVIOUS PROPERTY 'We rented a two-bedroom Victorian conversion flat nearby,' says Danni.

LIVING AREA Crittall-style doors were chosen to fit in with the period of the apartment. Crescent Deep two-seater sofa in Bamboo, £1,880, Camerich, would suit this scheme

SITTING ROOM The couple spent a long time looking for antique armchairs that they liked and reupholstering them in wool bouclé has given them a new lease of life.
