Belsize Park NW3 is characterised by grand Victorian and Edwardian properties with generous proportions, high ceilings, and abundant period detail. Farrow & Ball paints — with their extraordinary depth of colour and chalky finish — are the perfect partner for these distinguished homes.
Hallway Schemes for Belsize Park Terraces
The wide, tiled hallways of Belsize Park's Victorian terraces on streets like Belsize Park Gardens and Lancaster Grove deserve a welcoming scheme. We recommend Farrow & Ball Shaded White below the dado rail with Pavilion Gray above — a timeless combination that flatters original encaustic tiles. For the front door, Farrow & Ball Hague Blue or Studio Green creates a striking first impression.
Living Rooms and Reception Rooms
Double reception rooms on Belsize Avenue and Antrim Road typically have deep bay windows and ornate ceiling roses. For south-facing rooms, try Ammonite on walls with Skimming Stone on woodwork. North-facing rooms benefit from the warmth of Joa's White or Setting Plaster. Ceiling roses and cornicing should be picked out in the same white as the woodwork for a cohesive finish.
Kitchen and Dining Colours
Many Belsize Park NW3 homes now feature open-plan kitchen-diners in rear extensions. Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone or Pigeon work beautifully against both modern cabinetry and original period features, creating a bridge between old and new. For a bolder statement, Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue is perennially popular with our Belsize Park clients.
