Jasmine Hemsley And Nick Hopper’s 1970s House In Bromley Is A Suburban Oasis

We drop in on Jasmine Hemsley and Nick Hooper, who bought their 1970s house in Bromley via The Modern House in 2018, to see how a greater connection to nature and slower pace of life than they were used to in central London has had a positive impact on their wellbeing.

It's not my personal taste, but I always enjoy when people make their homes individualistic, and it looks warm and comfortable.

1:49 The fish you can see on the wall was drawn by my friends dad when he was at school circa 1965. They lived in Bromley and gave the fish picture to a charity shop when they were selling their house. Funny where these things turn up!

This is a house I could live in. Colors, textures, patterns, modern yet retro, loads of light and indoor/outdoor feel.

“Give me five minutes, and I would fill it. “ Yep.

I'm a big fan of these almost 'set designed' theatrical homes, where the atmosphere makes you feel as if you've travelled back through time and then sideways into another fantastic alternate reality. Unconventional layouts are also HUGELY ignored as a tool for creating magical atmosphere, I love to find homes that discombobulate me when I enter. Such fun! And lighting too--so powerful and overlooked massively when it comes to creating atmosphere. It's my new 'thing', searching for homes that don't have conventional layouts and which are big on other-worldly drama and atmosphere. They made a house that looks like a 1970's Australian caravan park toilet block look fabulous.

I love this home and the kitchen looks perfect, not too tiny! It has a modern 70s vibe: not stuck in the 70s but a 2020 version inspired by vintage 70s. Cozy.

I definitely wouldnt expect the inside with how the outside looks. So cool.

I love a home filled with character. It shows the love and care that went into making the home personally theirs. Plus I love a well done 70’s vibe. Those shag carpets were to die for.😍

I’m in love with this house. I think I’m beginning to understand the style/s that I really like 😍

[hofres]

Wonderful! Those houses filled with color and personality make my heart sing.

My first thought “walking in” was a deep breath of sweet warm air, taste, color, eye pulls and gazes of corners. What a little lie of an entrance!! Such a beautiful house

[ozzyowenmusic]

Nice, love it, beautiful home, love the 70s aesthetic

[rose]

Literally exactly the kind of house I would like to live in, beautiful 🤩

[marciamoseleyyoga]

I love this house much. ❤ all things believe. Colors, repurposing and dogs 🥰

[LightBeing]

So much color, character & charm
Sure beats the boring bland beige, greys and whites that you find in so many homes today

[nell]

I don't do modern but this is warm, cosy and incredibly inviting

[yvonnefluckiger]

I love your house. That is the kind of house I also would like to live in. I adore it. I also love the clear lines of the 60ties and 70ties.

You caputured the most underestimated era in history . The moment of change and ideals have never been so ubundant as in this short era. Respect for the level of detail to which you have gone. Rather unique i would say and it displays a strong vision 👍

[Loulou______]

I love that it’s just the two of them. My boo and created a lovely home with just the two of us also.

[michaelcoles]

A proper home full of everyday comforts love it
