Steal This Look: A Japanese Stylist’s Artful Dining Room in London

by Published: November 7, 2023

A while back we featured the remodeled 1930s house of Japanese stylist Yasuyo Harvey in the London suburb of Worcester Park. The character-filled dining room featuring framed botanicals by Yasuyo is full of ideas to adopt, with plywood floors and exposed plaster walls as the backdrop for a mix of vintage and new decor. Here are the basics that make up the look:
