Gemma Moulton’s flat is something of an anomaly. A stone’s throw from the busy A12 overpass in east London, it’s in a largely industrial area. Yet nestled within a peaceful churchyard is the grade II listed former mission building that she calls home. And the interior is equally surprising, not only for its Arts and Crafts aesthetic and generous proportions — it is set over two floors with three bedrooms and an enormous window flanking the stairs of the sort you wouldn’t even find in a large detached house — but also for the way Moulton has sensitively decorated it with heritage paint colours and antiques.
Moulton made the bedroom curtains from Irish linen, available on her website, eastlondoncloth.co.uk
