Step inside author Huma Qureshi's colourful, holiday-inspired home
Step inside author Huma Qureshi's colourful 60s home in London, bursting with a palette of soft, sun-bleached shades that create an instant sense of escapism.
Taking us on a tour of some of her favourite rooms, the hub of the home is Huma's kitchen, which brings the boldest contrast. With punchy mustard yellow, forest green and lively coral pink, it's a warm, welcoming space for family life, complete with plenty of practical storage solutions.
At the back of the house is Huma's office, offering a quiet spot to focus whether she’s writing or moodboarding for her interior design course, drawing inspiration from her vast collection of books with nods to her favourite films.
The family room and front living room serve different purposes — one with energising butter-yellow walls where the children play and watch TV, with much-loved pieces given new life through reupholstery, and the other in dusky pink for a softer, more relaxed atmosphere. Personal touches add warmth, from a plate wall that recalls her childhood home to framed book cover art celebrating her career.
That sense of calm continues upstairs into the main bedroom, where a happy accident led to a one-of-a-kind patchwork quilt, and a clever Ikea hack provides all the bespoke storage Huma needs. The result is a home that feels warm and effortless, where the colours flow together to create an energising yet soothing atmosphere.
