Inside Adwoa Aboah’s Delightful London Townhouse | Open Door | Architectural Digest

- Today Architectural Digest is welcomed by British model, actor, and activist, Adwoa Aboah, to tour her charming London home. When the Top Boy star first viewed her Victorian-era home five years ago it was falling apart at the seams but despite this, she knew it was home. Together, architectural designer Lewis Kane and AD100 designer Beata Heuman, helped Adwoa transform the fixer-upper into a delightful space bursting with color, pattern, and profound character. Heartfelt mementos from Adwoa’s life fill the space, and with a garden landscaped by her aunt and her sister’s artwork hanging on the walls, these familial touches make her house feel like home. “Friends have said if they could imagine a house that described me, this would be it. I feel very at peace here. It is like my sanctuary.”

You can tell she’s not putting on an act here. This is so raw and truthful and I like how she’s shows those sentimental elements, she takes pride in her style. It’s a shrine of beauty.
second that
i loved this! simple yet real!
A rare gem of gratitude, humility & authenticity reflected well in the home's design.
Well said!
British houses are SO MUCH more interesting to see than the US ones. We need more original and design spaces like hers!
This is a Victorian terrace house so it has a Iot of heritage, style & history. Many new build homes here in the UK 🇬🇧 are bland, boring & uninspiring!
Easy to find in Boston tbh. Reminds me of the layout of an average triple decker or Victorian in dorchester. But it makes sense since a lot of the older builds are designed with an English aesthetic.
I think there are more of those types of homes on the East Coast. Although San Franisco also has a lot of stunning/quirky homes too. :)
You can find it in mid century homes 👍
@Colette Which arent features on this channel
This is not just a curated living space, every single piece means something to her and its so refreshing to see🙌🏾💫💫
More of *this* AD!!! I love how unique and unconventional her space is and how she gives credit to her interior decorators.
This is one of the best homes I’ve seen in this channel. It has so much character
So much character! Like each piece has a personality of its own!
You can tell she has a deep love and appreciation for her family by the things she surrounds herself with. This was a highly enjoyable tour- the interiors ooze with personality and heart.
One of the most refreshing episodes to watch. Genuine character, taste, and personality. And a moment for the vintage pink fur
What a beautifully kind person I remember meeting her on a night out a few years ago and while I was trying to compliment her and her achievements she was so kind back, smiling, laughing and just complimenting me with the same energy, I felt so seen and appreciated by this supermodel who I was shy approaching let alone saying anything to. Wonderfully wholesome vibes and a beautiful space, colourful and vibrant just like them
One of the coolest homes so far! So much personality!
Adwoa Aboah is the queen of power clashing. I love all the different patterns together. Adwoa Aboah has so much artistry in her personal style.
Love it. At last a house that feels personal to the homeowner.
This is by far my favourite episode, it feels personal and like we're really being invited to see something special. Adwoa Aboah is an absolute gem!!!
If its a "shoes off house" you know it will be warm, cozy, down to earth - and the food will be amazing!
100%!
Yes, that 1 lemon she's about to share with her friends will be amazing 😂
this
@Kumotta Kun
pretty down to earth when you live in a house like this and make fun of the AD styling crew, if you ask me!
The funny thing is that I read your comment exactly when she was saying that she doesn't know how to cook. 😂 But other than that, it looks like a cozy and warm house.
didn't want this to end! had a smile on my face throughout the entire video 💞
Love all the character in the house and the vintage items she's reused. And the fact that the fridge isn't perfectly clean but covered in souvenir magnets like a normal person! The garden is delightful too. It's not a sterile cavernous house like so many American ones
Love her style Eclectic and not afraid to display items which mean something to her regardless of the objects. I love that she has a room full of memories. I also love the bright colours!
A fun house perfectly reflects her eclectic taste and warm friendly personality
This exactly what I invisioned her space, very eclectic, colorful, original yet slightly surrealist. I have followed their story and modeling career for a while, they are so quirky yet chill, gorgeous.
Who is they???
I love how she kept a lot of the original features like stair bannisters, tile and ceiling decorations. A lot of people who don't care about history just tear them out for being 'dated'
I could listen to her talk about her house all day.
Same, I wanted the video to go on for hours LOL!!
London-inspired design like this tends to be timeless and doesn't go out of style quickly. 🥰✨
This is not "London-inspired" design. It is a very British, quirky style (like the Bloomsbury group) a lot of colours, mixed prints and collected/found objects.
I love how unintentionally funny she is 😂. And this house is so her❤😊
it's not unintentional! She's just got that British dry humour
@A British humour is unintentional - it is generally innate.
This house is the antithesis of my taste, but my goodness is it delightful! So authentically whimsical.
Such an enjoyable tour. Her bedroom is divine. Love the carpet!
She’s so humble and eclectic. LOVE IT! 😍
Such an enjoyable tour. Her bedroom is divine. Love the carpet! ♥️
Absolutely love this… the bedroom has to be my fav it’s so unique & calming!
I love how she does exactly what she wants. She loves it all. Viewers can also find something to love. I love almost ALL of it!
I love her sense of humor! My favorite room is the museum. All of the artwork is amazing
This is going on my wishboard, her kitchen and bedroom designs are absolute goals 🤤
Love her color and individuality. My favorite house tours are those that don't look like other people's homes.
Truly exciting style! Hee design team really “got” her. Would live there in a heartbeat 💓
Such an enjoyable tour. Her bedroom is divine. Love the carpet!. Love it. At last a house that feels personal to the homeowner..
Its so nice to see a house with so much personality featured!
This is the best house AD has visited I’m impressed to see someone cherish little things people has made I’m same way have so many little things collected throughout the years, my favourite house 😊
What a vibe!!! I love it!!! Takes me in a place in time that I want to be in. I love this stuff so much.
I love it - it’s so chaotic, timeless and cosy 💕
I love this house!!The colors are so nice and its so well picked together amazing!!
Love, love this house so much. And the colours, so cosy and inviting!
Love everything your house. It captures your personality very well. The kitchen is a awesome. A blend between 70s, country, granny and boutique hotel.
You described her themes perfectly.
Everything about this is STUNNING, absolutely in love.
So great in every way. I can’t believe AD skipped out on the closet tour?! Best line, « My style is tacky granny. »
I’ve always loved Adwoa Aboah - so effortlessly cool and down to earth
I LOVE this!! Thank you for sharing, so much personality x
Wasnt sure what to expect but I love it…Im glad she was able to enjoy her space and I love that❤

love her more than i already did! what a beautiful space
Wonderful house! I love the colours and artwork. Beautiful.
What a beautifully kind person I remember meeting her on a night out a few years ago and while I was trying to compliment her and her achievements she was so kind back,
She and me, we have the same soul, is so glad for me see this house, is like if I see myself making my dream house one day. So beautiful, congrats!
J'aime et respect l'actrice, elle est si humaine et terre à terre. Finalement, on se sent si proche d'elle. J'apprends qu'elle a été mannequin. J'adore cette déco, la maison est si spéciale, épique et de toute beauté, elle a une si belle histoire. Felicitations. Elle est fan de Paris génial 🇫🇷. Alors de gros bisous de Paris. Bien à vous.❤🙏🏾
Great place. Love that it's filled with art.
The kitchen space is my favorite room! It's STUNNING
Thank you for sharing. As you said, you did not have to. Just makes you more human knowing we all go through stuff. Wishing you the best in the future and looking forward to, hopefully, continued content. Even if it looks a little different.
Love the TV cabinet! It's nicer than just having those picture display ones everyone has nowadays
Really great to enjoy this tour around her house. What an item the Barbie reliquary glass. Incredibly charming and beautiful woman.
There is nothing I don’t like about this house! Awesome!
I’m always so proud of her when I see her, love this

I can't understate how much I dig this lady's personality.
Really gorgeous space ❤❤ and that garden!
That was amazing. So beautiful and eccentric all at the same time
Absolutely incredible!
She has a great and talented interior designer. Will def check her out.
Beautifully unique I love it❤
Really cool house. She’s so real. I love watching houses like this one over the typical celebrity show off ones.
This is one of the rare AD tours that are actually beautiful and unique. Why are there so many downvotes? I guess people have no taste.
Her voice is stunning. She should be the narrator for anything!
Her voice and the way she speaks is so pleasant to listen to
Not really .😜
couldn't agree more! love it
Its manly
Yes it is!
Yes, I love her voice. Deep, relaxing, and still very feminine
This feels like travelling in time. So Audacious.
I can’t get into the decor, but I love her vibe. plus the bathroom and kitchen are great spaces.
Absolutely beautiful!
She has a beautiful place. It reflects her perfectly. Took notes on some if the artists thst contributed yo the pieces.
Adwoa is such a vibe. I watched her OG apartment tour in LA and to see this now, I'm so proud!!!
She’s such a stunning person love her personality too
The European AD episodes are soooooooooo much better and tasteful!
I am a minimalist but I reckon that, this house has a cool signature 🤩
Though not my style, too busy, but I do appreciate people with quirky preferences...they're often fascinating to me because they think outside the box and make the world a more interesting place. Love that backyard space though.
That is SUCH a Beata house! or they did an amazing job together =)
Love this house, love her!
What it means to utilize your space you actually can have everything WOW I AM BLOWN AWAY AND INSPIRED AT THE SAME TIME SO MUCH IN COMMON
Her voice, her style 😍 original
Extravagant but not overwhelming, I love it!
Love the kitchen and the garden is just a future dream.
Love this! loved her LA place as well many years ago shes really grown!
