London-based designer Sian Zeng creates stunning wallpapers, decorating them with paintbrushes and real colors. They are a hit with customers across the globe. And also adorn some walls in her own apartment.

Sian’s home combines modern Scandinavian design and classical furniture.

 

The interior design expert, who was born in China and grew up in Hungary, loves to mix and match. In 2016, 35-year-old Sian and her husband moved into 72 square meter condo in south London’s Kidbrooke Village. They have a bedroom, a study, a bathroom and large eat-in kitchen. 

Thanks to huge windows in the kitchen, Sian has plenty of plants growing there. And it’s cloud-themed wallpaper makes for a comfy atmosphere that will put you at ease. Outside, there is lots of space for vines, flowers and herbs of all kinds to grow. And the couple’s patio, which spans almost the entire length of the apartment, affords a great view over London. 

Sian’s studio, where she creates her unique wallpapers, is located about five kilometers from their home. One of her best known products is magnetic wallpaper. Customers can get specially designed magnets and speech bubbles, and thereby customize the look of their walls.

So come on in, and find Sian's favorite place!
