Japanese Stylist Yasuyo Harvey Renovated Dining Room in London: Steal This Look
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.

The entryway opens into the small dining room, complete with vintage cabinets, lighting, and a dining table. “We normally eat at the long bench, but we want to get a proper dinner table eventually,” Yasuyo told The Modern House.

For a bright, clean white similar to the shade in the entryway, Benjamin Moore’s Super White Paint is a favorite among architects; see our post Architects’ Favorite Pure White Paints for more. Yasuyo and her husband Phil stripped the wallpaper to discover a pleasant raw plaster. For more see our post Remodeling 101: Modern Plaster Walls, Six Ways. The dining table is a vintage beer garden table. Yasuyo bought the 1890s Thonet rocking chair from Ardingly Antiques Fair in West Sussex. From famed Japanese furniture designers Truck Furniture, the Gatto Cupboard closely resembles the desk/cupboard in the dining room. The Toogood Aluminum Spade Chair is £3,600 directly through Toogood furniture. For similar light fixtures to the vintage industrial pendants hanging above the table, the Ferroluce Industrial Cage Pendant Vintage in white is $789.89 at Lightology. The Glass Vitrine designed by Takahito Iba for Ibazen is $3,200 at Nalata Nalata. The Clam Lab Copper Crystal Egg Vase is $485 at The Primary Essentials.
