The Amazing Eclectic Home of Designer Beata Heuman

A vibrant residence with bold patterns, colourful rooms, enticing artwork and striking furniture – Beata Heuman’s eclectic style certainly shines through. 

The Swedish-born designer (now London-based) Beata Heuman has built a name for herself in the interior design world, fueled by her unique and playful view on home design. These are central aspects of the designer’s styling, clearly reflected in her own eclectic home, a riverside townhouse in Hammersmith (London) that screams creativity, comfort, and open-mindedness.

Beata’s design studio is known for being original and playful and Beata has amassed a significant following with her creative interiors and positive approach.

The Entryway

This is noticeable from the moment one enters the house. From abstract paintings of blue and white shapes that contrast with the simple beige wallpaper to the striped shades on the window, the white ball-shaped suspension lamps, or the not-so-small mirror on top of the door to the bathroom, this entryway is only the tip of the creativity iceberg that is this eclectic home.

Here, the maximalist tendencies of the designer really stand out, going for a more-is-more approach with layers of patterns and colours stacked on top of each other and tons of objects everywhere you look. The home is filled with detail and a sense of adventure, with standout pieces in the living space that includes a scalloped green tray, the pair of red and white lumbar cushions on top of the sofa, or the big yellow painting of what seems to be a dog and two ravens.

Yet, Beata believes there’s always room for more and newer stuff, arguing, “It is important to create a home that can take being added to over the years.”

On the other hand, the designer also clearly understands the need for functionality in certain spaces, like the kitchen or the bathrooms. Here the stylistic choices are not diluted but instead purposely controlled in favour of the usability of these rooms.

The Kitchen

When it comes to the kitchen, a space where Beata Heuman and her family spend some time cooking their meals, there’s clearly a need for clean and wide surfaces. However, the designer still manages to let her creativity come through with the choice of this beautiful blue marble for the counter, which perfectly matches the blue-ish tone of the glass in the ceiling and the big blue cabinet (perfect for storing while still aligning with the eclectic home design).

The Bathrooms

Moving on to the bathrooms, this house has 3 of them, and they all follow the same design rule as the kitchen, prioritizing functionality while still portraying creativity, fun, and, of course, beauty. Furthermore, they are also a perfect example of this eclectic home design, showcasing the multiple different ways that the designer decorates this same type of room while still innovating in each of them through the use of multiple design references that are mixed and matched in the most imaginative ways.

Besides that, one may also identify the care for a continuous and cohesive vision when it comes to this project, which is established here by some of the connective elements used (like, for example, the colour scheme) and even more by the similar layout of these spaces.

The Bedrooms

This same cohesiveness can be found in the bedrooms, where things like the blue colour scheme predominant in one of the bedrooms or the beige wallpaper in the other one take us back to some of the previous rooms (like the kitchen and the entry). However, re-visiting these elements doesn’t get boring but instead more creative and fun, thanks to the different combinations the designer explores in this eclectic home.

But when it comes to creativity and fun, there is no better example than the children’s room. With its cartoon-covered yellow-painted walls, which contrast with the slightly more adult and traditional pieces of furniture, this room perfectly balances what a child wants in a room and what the parents want the room to look like, creating a space unique to the children but that still goes with the rest of this eclectic home’s design.
