Touring Emma Hawkins’ Tranquil London Home | Visitors’ Book

The World of Interiors presents Visitors’ Book with Emma Hawkins. Antique dealer Emma Hawkins welcomes us into her contemporary London home that is brimming with precious antiques.
A contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life, Emma’s peaceful abode provides an escape from London’s fast-paced way of living, alongside playing host to her collection of art and antiques. “The fact that everything is for sale, gives it that lovely movement,” Emma explains as she describes her home’s interior design. “Nothing necessarily has a permanence. And then you’ve got an ever-changing canvas, so in a way it’s an art form.” Watch the full episode of Visitors’ Book as we explore Emma Hawkins’ light and airy London townhouse.

Some people just can’t see the beauty in simple things. This here is marvelous!

[@lesezeichen1603]

"Simple things" like marble-flooring, a garden and loads of space?? Well, oooookkey....

[@GOODdeels]

This house is anything but simple. Her decor alone is worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions. The house, it's finishings, location and garden is also up there in terms of cash. This is a wealthy person with a wealthy taste.

[@b.bernal6151]

I would have loved to have seen more of this amazing house.

[@mphmobiledetailingmph7912]

Emma Hawkins my cousin! So proud of all your accomplishments you've done. Love your home in London. Antiques work in modern contemporary.

[@patrickbell4314]

"A place where I can feel calm and lucky. " Well said.

[@designunlimited6215]

I can’t help but wonder if the little doggo has ever picked up an old bone and buried it in the garden 🤔😂

[@RedArtistx]

Clearly the home of an English Slytherin aristocrat living in London. Jokey comments aside, this interesting interior reflects the owner's interest which is natural history and the contemporary high end gallery world (her space looks more like a gallery than a comfortable home). One person's 'dead' or ' 'austere' is another person's minimalist and calm.

[@jenh9361]

Quiet and Charmingly Beautiful...

I'd feel calm and lucky if I could afford a London townhome with a garden too wouldn't you?

Hello Mireille dear friend I hope you are fine . I guess you are interested in architecture and villa design. If you are interested in these topics I'm glad you visit my channel Our team uploads new videos every day, I am sure you will like them

This strikes me more as a museum, rather than an inviting home.

Love this. I wish I could aquire an Irish elk. The first time I saw one was when I was a child, on the wall of a castle at home in Ireland and was in awe of their size.

[@HK-cp8tm]

Beautiful, everything is an art piece

[@rz1974]

Was glad to hear everything is for sale, before that I was thinking I've never seen a collection of beautiful antiques and objects look so sterile, its a showroom not a home

[@metislamestiza3708]

can you smell the pretentiousness? it's VERY strong. lol

[@williamwoody7607]

I don’t think you go far enough. You just watched a commercial.

[@mignoncat1]

the WOI was once the bible of interior elegance. now it is unravelling into vulgarism. i suspect Hamish Bowles instituted & sped-up this sad demise.

[@kimcorreale4067]

Beautifully zen, thank you for the tour

[@MsYingyang2]

I loved this video. Her voice is so pleasant. The home is beautiful. Natural stone and antiques are like museum artifacts.

[@mysweetestdays]

This is a beautiful space but I was concerned to see three mere/patu pounamu (the greenstone weapons) there. How were those come by? They belong to New Zealand.

[@modamoda4767]

No they belong to her

Stunning.

[@earlmcornell]

As a Hawaiian l am very proud that you’ve displayed ancient objects from Polynesia. That penu (Tahitian poi pounder) sitting all by itself took my breath away! I think l saw a few Māori patu, stunning. Mahalo nui for your keen eye & superb taste.

[@ilinkacenic2360]

A gem,,,love it. Xx

[@jcs3330]

I agree. the colour (yes!..'colour') black is misunderstood. Black is a really 'mature' colour. When I was younger, I used to dislike the colour black (also the colour white) very much, but now in later years I always incorporate both amongst my chosen colour palette, in my previous homes and my present one.

[@brianwhite1816]

One of my favorite videos.

[@sdmsdm7926]

some many interesting people with interiors reflecting their personalities....I love this!

[@Yourhighnessnona]

Beautiful ❤

[@szvetlana1000]

I used to think black goes with everything but not any more. It somehow suffocates most colours. It shines with white though as it is in this home.

[@markeddowes1467]

The Polynesian ‘pounder’ is a penu in Tahitian (it’s from the Society Islands) and from the Leeward island of Maupiti home to this very compact black basalt. You’re welcome !

[@amranibrahimrashidi]

I love it so much very epic back to nature and full history!!!

[@gmar7836]

Stop using the word epic

[@aina2165]

What do you mean with a drawing room? I live in Norway so I don't know the term.

[@MTMF.london]

Drawing room is posh word for a formal living room. Those who are rich enough to have a drawing room usually have another room, called a sitting room, for more casual gatherings where they let the children in or watch TV.

[@larryaleshire4907]

you surely have google

[@renzo6490]

Originally, the 'drawing room' was the room to which one withdrew after a meal or for privacy.

[@99thehighstreet69]

Love the Bacon.Beautiful home.

[@pragyagajbe6947]

It's beautiful! But it seems so extra and sharp for my taste, rather than, blending smooth and comfy.

At 0:45 where is the respect for wood? Let us all repeat, “I respect wood. I revere wood. I'm considerate of wood.”

Too showoff-y and curated, too try-hard. It looks more like a showroom rather than someone's home. The garden looks lovely though.
