The family behind ultimate interiors inspiration Petersham Nurseries, that’s who. This glimpse inside their 17th-century estate will soon have you rethinking your own home…
The conservatory features a creative mix of bluestone floor and 2nd-century marble torso
This striking antique marble dining table adds a sense of drama, with an imposing 17th-century Genovese chandelier above. Lit by candles, the design inspired the large chandeliers in Petersham Nurseries’ Covent Garden event space. For similar, try vinterior.co

Tucked down a narrow, bumpy lane in Richmond sits Petersham Nurseries, a one-stop shop for all things green and gorgeous. Founded in 2004 by Gael, an Australian former model, and Francesco Boglione, a ‘hippie traveller’ turned businessman, the couple have since been joined by their four children, and together continue to build and expand the brand.
At the heart of their story lies Petersham House, a 17th-century Queen Anne estate. Francesco and Gael bought it in 1996 after being introduced to it by friend (and godfather to eldest daughter Lara) Mick Jagger. It was stripped back and painstakingly restored in a rich earthy palette, then decorated with English and Italian antiques and artwork.
‘The nursery at the bottom of our garden was bought eight years later – and quickly became a passion project we all worked on,’ says Lara. Now transformed, it is home to a plant nursery, café, teahouse and popular lifestyle store set amid a maze of paths lined with antique planters. At the core of the business lies the Boglione family and their shared journey that keeps evolving.
The entrance hallway frescoes painted by Louis Laguerre were painstakingly restored. Previously covered up, they have been brought back to life and are loved by the family
The Petersham store sells antiques, handcrafted bespoke designs and covetable homewares from the likes of Astier de Villatte, Mad et Len and Libeco. Products are sourced from artisans all around the world
