Inside Nina Campbell’s Eclectic Chelsea Townhouse | Design Notes

Interior designer Nina Campbell, the winner of our Lifetime Achievement Award for 2023, welcomes us into her colourful home based in Chelsea, London. Nina shows us around her London townhouse - affectionately referred to as ‘The Hut’ - which is nestled away from the whirlwind rush that is Fulham Road.
Nina’s abode is a small but perfectly formed space filled with art and colour, alongside her own designs for textiles, wallpaper and furniture. All of the best-loved characteristics of Nina’s interiors are present, from the monograms on the pillowcases to the unexpected use of colours such as the acid green that runs through the living spaces. Watch the full episode of Design Notes, as we tour Nina Campbell’s Chelsea townhouse that is filled with character.

I love the sense of freedom and fun by mixing styles and making a space feel like it's full of friends and personal history, which is the difference between a house and a home.

[@carlaorlando4744]

This a lovely house for a mature person, classic with a modern twist here and there, and very comfortable. This is a space you can easily modernize every 10 years or so, without changing much, curtains, cushions a bit of paint or wallpaper...brilliant!

[@stevemiller7949]

Did Chanel say, you can't be elegant unless you're relaxed? That's Nina ( and Rita, who learned it from her).

[@fc4660]

Having seen Rita’s home I was keen to see the latest from Nina

[@lisab7716]

When I win the lottery I would like to get Nina Campbell to design my house, as I think everything she does is just perfect and everything is so well thought out. So fingers crossed :)

[@imalrockme]

The crystal "logs" 😍

[@Mers3av1ew]

One of my favourite designers houses ever. Love Nina’s design and interiors.

[@markusaurelius7227]

I agree with you . If only she was more approachable and less snobbish . She would be rich by now 😅

[@brendaguerin5423]

I found the music was competing with her voice, Love her home and her personality!!

[@buickinvicta288]

Outstanding and stunning. It's very pleasing and comfortable. Rita Konig is her daughter btw, love her work also.

[@batubop651]

Thanks for sharing, I had no idea! Another incredibly talented designer. Can see her mother’s influence for sure, but still very much has her own unique style.

[@anttoronto3202]

So beautiful. I would have loved to see the kitchen!! She is a treasure.

[@edramirez1240]

The interior is simply sublime.

[@kencur9690]

The sublime is simply interior.

[@lucybrown387]

It's a beautiful home, and best of all it looks lived in.

[@lavinejk]

I'm in love with the acid green, very inspiring

[@batubop651]

Me too. I love how all the subtle and tasteful splashes of green throughout, makes it feel almost like a garden or country cottage by connecting the indoors to the outdoor areas. So cleverly deceptive considering its bang in the middle of London’s concrete jungle. Beautiful home and a legendary designer.

[@aliceshea1670]

Beautiful bed linens. 😌 You can not imagine how much ironing that takes with cotton sheets. I ironed mine once then never again.😵‍💫 I would imagine Nina has them professionally pressed.

[@mauriziograssi4804]

The secret is to iron bed linen when it's still a little damp. If you can outdoor line dry it's even easier because line drying already straightens sheets as they hang. If you have to use a dryer then set it to 'Hand Iron' or the equivalent and don't overload the dryer to allow the sheets more movement so they come out less creased. You then have to finish or crisp the ironed sheets on a radiator in winter or in your linen basket in a warm place in summer until they're perfectly dry. That's my method, anyway.

[@swingingdaniel]

Her royal highness Nina - Nina forever! ❤❤❤

[@bettinarossi7908]

Love,love!!.the rock crystal logs in the fireplace. Simply spectacular.

[@philiplong7390]

Wonderful and love the fact the dogs are on the furniture. Every room is both elegant and comfortable.

[@zoec3527]

This is a beautiful home, collected and personal with history. Not like the trendy staged homes that do not stand the test of time.

[@dalereid4199]

Greatness personified

[@juliehock6059]

Everyone has noted the essence of Ms Campbell, her taste and elegance makes her home her joy. When we surround ourselves with the colours we love and the objects we choose we live with our memories which really what we are. The abundant vases of flowers always is a luxurious touch.

[@milkshake3350]

Fabulous Nina, fabulous home.

[@user-xq8yk5yd6f]

I'd love to live there. Surrounded by a garden, books, art and comfy places to sit....heaven! Love how it's colourful but not garish.

[@monkeygraborange]

Absolutely stunning. The smartest designers always use their own homes to experiment and play, and it shows!!

[@hughesky1]

Incredible. This is one of my top tours now. She has such a sharp and fun persona and it's reflected in her gorgeous home!

[@dermotcarey8361]

I love this house . Everytime I view this video it cheers me up. ❤

[@royjones59344]

What a great place to relax and live.

[@judyderieux8484]

What a wonderful person. I really,really loved the cyrstal logs✨

[@soundrasimpson7885]

I absolutely love the story the home tells. Magnificent beauty.

[@mariabanholzer7942]

Phantastique !!!! Love all of it! Love from South of France

[@nicki66]

She is so calm, clear and decided. I admire that! The house is beautiful! I was completely inspired.

[@pamcornelius9122]

Gorgeous 😻

[@TobiDecadance]

The green guest bedroom is divine!!!

[@alcg3981]

All my Bibelots are Sentimental and Loved! I moved overseas far from Family in the early 1990s, so over the years I've amassed quite a few handmades , gifts and Mom's crochets and knits❤. I cherish all my 'stuff'!😊

[@teresejohnson6767]

Legend. Perfect pitch. Brass mantle. Extraordinary. ty

[@lynnblack6493]

It's in the detail isn't it! Love the wall coverings and curtains. Wonderful.

[@abeerali7834]

I got so many ideas watching this video, already feeling so free 😊

[@jacquelinewilson2279]

Beautiful. Love it.

[@BrokeDadProductions]

Ms. Campbell home is beautiful and eclectic with a sense of humor…just as she is. Thanks for the tour.

[@bluezebra007]

Beautiful home that’s not only spick and span, well thought out… but also looks comfortable to live in. Appreciate Nina’s caring and hospitable nature when visitors stay over by ensuring they feel comfortable and valued e.g. the guest room layout. I think a home is where the heart is when you sprinkle life into it by sharing it with family and friends 💕

[@OrendaDesignStudio]

Beautiful 😍😍😍.

[@theluxuryminimalistraveler]

lovely home!!❤

[@sfloris9]

Love the acid green!

[@ChrisLovesThisGame]

Wonderful! Love seeing Nina Campbell 🤩

[@danob3349]

All amazing! Love how everything is resolved to the personal taste ie do whatever you like. Thank you!

[@susannegiesen2114]

Can I pleeeeaaaaase be her next guest😉 Not only that I love Mrs. Campbells style (which is similar to mine) but I love her accent!!!! I could listen to her all day😊 Lovely Tour. Thanks, all the best to her and greetings from Germany

[@maureenclothier9468]

Love it!

[@annjohnson8437]

Lovely attention to detail! ❤

[@monkeybusiness1999]

Very pretty spaces. And, "Apple Green" vs "Acid Green" sounds much more pleasant & fresh. 🍏😉👌

[@AaronJL]

I laughed so hard. When she dropped "checking the guest bedroom to make sure it was perfect." 🤣

[@fraserreal8496]

Would love to see Nina's kitchen!

[@bettylowdermilk4296]

Everything is so wonderful

[@mariabanholzer7942]

Chère Madame, I watch your video again! It is so inspiring. I tried to find a turquoise carpet you have in a room. Impossible. Can you give me an indication please? Thank you so much in advance!

[@nandasharifpour5321]

Thank you for another wonderful and helpful video!

[@mariabanholzer5960]

I Like watching your wonderful house again,the colours, everything🥰💓🌺🧡💖💚

[@kadelu1137]

What gorgeous design! What an inspiring and thought through home.

[@lilme8762]

Gorgeously fitting home. She's so graceful.

[@laurenl5843]

Love everything! 💜😊

[@emiliebova]

Fabulous color and textures!

[@billyjobobb]

I love that the inside of the closet is purple and the inside of the china cabinet is a royal deep blue

[@starryeyed777]

Although not my style...I really love and appreciate her manner of styling her home...it is truly a reflection of herself and her personal story 🥰🥰

[@saramartinez103]

Curious ....what is your style?

[@carolebuckle7977]

Could listen to this lovely lady all day, her taste is exquisite 🙏🏻🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻

[@suzywade7695]

I first thought that amazing painting over the fireplace was a Georgia O'Keefe. When it was revealed to be by an artist called Sophie Corrington I tried to find out more about her ... but couldn't find anything. Most odd for such gorgeous work.

[@henriceugen]

Wondering about painter as well, have turned internet upside down- does anyone know more about Sophie Corrington?🙏

[@laraqueen9928]

Beautiful 👍💐

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

I would love to commend those big flower frames there. Beautiful. 😍

[@elizabethlacky6068]

I love it all!

[@davidjamessussex1671]

My dream London home.

[@amandamckernan4376]

such an elegant and cool woman! who's home has the same characteristics

[@ginafriend1690]

I like the white floral pic, fabrics on chairs.

[@SN-sz7kw]

The entryway library gets me every time. 😊

[@mjef3695]

Love color.

[@DrRichardMarques]

Great!! 👏

[@Cheekingmymeds]

Majestic...💗

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

The cute little doggies🖤💛

[@doowopshopgal]

Gorgeous

[@paularubina3778]

This lady is my new decorating role model 🎉

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking very nice.

[@dolcevitausa6448]

lovely

[@lucygriffiths7490]

What a pro she is. 👌

[@donnaturner8761]

fab home

[@brittanygomez4448]

I wish I could super like this!!

[@oseasviewer7108]

I know there will be some interior decorators perhaps in the USA, not casting aspersions, but they do have a different perspective which is a laser focus on symmetry and balance. But my eye is attuned to comfort, colour, atmosphere or mood and function and that's where this Townhouse inspires me in reworking spaces adorned with pictures, paintings and objet d'art. I draw the line however at plastic plants - they are hardly biodegradable. Bold or subtle ceramic art pieces would be better placed at least you can dust them.

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

love her attitude. :)

[@saulle2u]

Omg! Is that red damask banquette in Nina Campbell fabric. I wantttt

[@sandramalone3522]

Lovely lady, exquisite home, love the colors. And love the music here, who is it?

[@user-ef7vu6dh9w]

Очень красивый дом наполненный любовью с душевной хозяйкой.

[@joeyleery2002]

Pretty sure it was William Yeoward who make the cupboard at 4:02, not William Norwood, maybe someone could amend the subtitle? Gorgeous home!

[@dg8273]

Norwood. "Hence the "N" on top of the cupboard"

[@joeyleery2002]

@@dg8273 I think the N is for Nina. Also, I have found an article on House and Garden that actually says the cupboard was made by Yeoward.

[@dg8273]

You're right😊

[@gnarbeljo8980]

She says Yeoward several times herself.

[@thebastardgift]

I ♥♥♥it too.

[@iloveanimals1662]

❤

[@alisadotson8403]

I have all of her books.

[@paulchezkari6952]

Hello gorgeous, wow😂🎉🎉🎉 If she designs a hotel, I'd pay just gor the experience-- just stunning.

[@22vals]

Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn...if you know you know the block

[@MTMF.london]

That wall of china cupboard is the one.

[@aidepaul534]

"put my initials on just in case I forget who I am" :D

[@rocklobstah1876]

Apparently Nina dug her own basement 😂

[@jennaright5414]

Please don't change your bedroom's wall covering, it's perfect and it matches the beautiful tree outside. Your home is stunning.

[@theodoravankuijk9120]

What a delightful lady ...

[@susannefitzpatrick9955]

Instead of having those God-awful plastic flowers in the little courtyard off the spare bedroom, you’d have thought someone with her background would have put some lovely cacti in there! They’d have been aesthetically stunning (especially tall ones like Euphorbia) and given a bit if life to the area.

[@cristinagimenosole3212]

Lovely house, BUT , I remember you lived in a spectacular and flawless cottage, isn`t it? that house was a dream, it was a sort of fabrics, masive chine in your dishware, lot of color and mixed of styles and magically all looked perfect. Why do you move to the center of London ?, any way cogratulation,!! I admire you .

[@batubop651]

At 6:24 Nina shows a sweet lavender pillow on her bed, but the captions only pick up the designers first name ‘Thomas’. I can’t figure out his surname, can anybody help please? I did make a few guesses but no luck when I googled. Thank you!

[@renataszyda5545]

I think she says Tomasz Starzewski, he was/is a fashion designer but not sure if he sells lavender pillows.🤔

[@lilip991]

Love the way she mixed all the colors. My favorite room is the one in the basement. The wall color is just perfect. The color does not appear to be Farrow and Ball’s French Gray, the color she mentioned in the video. Can someone provide the correct color?

[@TheDonovanu]

Maybe Elephant's Breath?

[@TheDonovanu]

She looks so like her daughter Rita Konig in this vid!!

[@saramartinez103]

Is Rita Konig her daughter?😮

[@iwonagrzeskowiak1069]

👍👍👍💖💖💖💎💎💎✨✨✨
