How to get the 76 Dean Street look at home
Tucked away along one of Soho’s oldest streets, in one of Westminster’s oldest townhouses, lies 76 Dean Street. Built in 1732, history and character are the very bricks-and-mortar of its Georgian architecture. Inside, it’s instantly recognisable for its mix of traditional and contemporary furnishings. Known for its lived-in yet refined ambience, there’s a timeless charm to its decor that will leave you feeling at ease. So, if you’re inspired by the history behind the design of 76 Dean Street, take a look at how you can get the look in your home.
A timeless colour palette
Your walls really are the first place to start when pulling together a mood board. Recreate 76 Dean Street’s style with Teal 03 76 Dean Street—named after the club it calls home. As seen in its Club Bar, this paint colour evokes this Georgian townhouse’s cracking fires, original floorboards, and naval-inspired artwork. Yet, however big or small, new or old, this timeless teal will give any room in any home that lived-in, heritage feel.

A vintage bar cart
There are few sounds more pleasing to the ear than the tuneful tinkling of fresh drinks being prepared, and for that authentic Club Bar feel, you’re going to need a spot to mix them. Ensure your home bar remains stylish and well-stocked with Soho Home’s Bar Cart—the perfect accompaniment to any drinks party. Inspired by the vintage brass bar carts found in each of the Houses, it’s a nod to 76 Dean Street’s ‘decades of debauchery’ and will sprinkle a touch of the roaring twenties’ decadence into your living room.
Plenty of seating
If there is one thing that every House has in common, it’s plenty of seating. Comfy armchairs, sink-into sofas, and bar stools to prop yourself on. The Henri armchair is inspired by 76 Dean Street and is a perfect accent chair in a bedroom or living room. Whilst the Henri armchair in Obie print velvet continues the House's jewelled tones whilst adding pattern and texture. Alternatively, for a classic mid-century look, the Theodore armchair - inspired by 76 Dean Street’s neighbouring House, 40 Greek Street - is as comfortable as it is stylish.
A really comfy sofa
Or for something a little more substantial you cannot do better than Soho Home’s Arundel 3-seater sofa. The sort of sofa you want to spend your evening on, it’s their take on a traditional English roll arm. Available in Velvet Rust, it completes the complementary colour scheme when paired with Teal 03 76 Dean Street, for a real sense of 76 Dean Street’s style.
Layered cushions
And what to put on all that extra seating? Lots of cushions, naturally. The great thing about them is that you can constantly mix them up and move them around—they’re a great way to refresh the decor in your home. The Margaux square cushion does just the job. Choose from four jewel tones, which match Soho Home’s upholstery fabrics, so you can create a cohesive colour palette. A soft velvet finish with subtle eyelash trim will add a tactile, layered finish to any room.
An oversized rug
If you’re lucky enough to have exposed wood floorboards, then you’ll know that a thick pile rug is essential to creating a warm and cosy feel. Soho Home’s Alderton rug in rust recreates the complementary colour scheme used in the Club Bar and throughout much of the House. Hand-knotted in India, it's inspired by traditional Uzbek ikat prints, which made their way across to South Asia along the Silk Road centuries ago. Featuring an autumnal palette of rusty reds, oranges, and yellows, the teal accents will pair perfectly with Teal 03 76 Dean Street walls. Available in five different sizes, our advice when it comes to rugs is to go big.
An antique mirror
One way to really draw a look together and make a room appear more refined is by adding an oversized antique or antique-looking mirror, like the Arielle Entryway mirror. This classic French-style mirror couldn’t look more at home atop a mantelpiece. Not only will it bounce light around the room, but it will also give your decor an elevated, luxurious feel.
Statement lighting
The crowning glory to your home decor, if you’re going to splash out on anything, we’d recommend opting for a piece of statement lighting. And the Elodie Chandelier certainly makes a statement. With three tiers of Italian twisted glass, it is a celebration of fine craftsmanship. Shimmering with golden glittering light, it will illuminate any space and add a decadent feel to your home.
