- House & Garden presents ‘House with History’ from Leighton House, the former home and studio of the leading Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830-1896). Join interior decorators Alidad Mahloudji and Susan Deliss as we tour Leighton House, a 19th century studio-house turned museum, inspired by Arab, Persian and Ottoman civilisations.
Watch the full film to learn how the interiors are still a source of inspiration for designers today whilst we tour the museum following its £8 million refurbishment - including one of London’s great interiors, the Arab Hall, which was inspired by the 12th century La Zisa Palace in Sicily.

This episode was an absolute feast for the senses. Utterly beautiful and splendid in every way. And Alidad and Susan were the perfect hosts.
In the 70's I was invited to a poetry/piano evening in Leighton House, so impressed me.
The plates, the tiles, the carved wood...incredible
I have prints of two of Leighton's paintings, but had no idea his home was so fabulous. The black wood with gold, the blue tiles, the red dining room. It is literally stunning, a word which is over used these days.
Thanks for the tour. I’ve been fascinated by the house since I was a teenager, and finally visited last year. The restoration work and new visitor arrangements are wonderful. I did rather think that there was something missing in the museum presentation and in this video -the elephant in the tiled room as it were - the matter of Leighton’s sexuality and how that might be reflected in the decor of the home and in his manner of living. As Susan Deliss says, “an interior should reflect the client as well.” One might wonder how these sensual interiors reflect the private life of this particular unmarried Victorian gentleman.
I have been to this house twice such a beautiful experience & i was so surprised to see the Arab Hall also all the art work and the dresser in the dining room such a treat really
I've been to this house for an event once ages ago, not knowing what it was. It is stunning inside. Then for years I've been passing it by but haven't been back - time to revisit
One of my favourite places in London!! ❤
so much reminds me of my trip to Marrakech and Granada Spain, but actually more visually stunning on a completely other level. absolutely took my breath away!.
Saw Alidad and CLICKED IMMEDIATELY!
Master of colour 😍 truly fascinating combinations.
The single bed in the tiny bedroom we missed when I see it i always hope he was happy.
Thank you for this. It was and is exquisite.
A favorite spot! I’ve been here so many times and it never gets dull!

why does Aidan Mahloudji have two different shoes on? Perhaps a hurt foot? What a fabulous place!
How much is Leighton, and how much is George Aitchison?
Traditional architecture reflects the necessities of the houses environment like weather and climate. So having architectural elements from hot and sunny zones in England is nonsensical - Leighton House in consequence becomes very dark and not fit for its natural surroundings.
You are correct re rural buildings but as soon as people become wealthy they somehow need to show it. So buildings had huge single pane windows, huge drafty chimneys, heavy curtains, carpets over which they walked with their shoes (which in traditional carpet making countries is considered barbaric) and so on. It is the difference between a utilitarian building and a show off building.
I studied Construction Management at UTS … had a great life, started by own company and finally bought a 911 at the age of 28 …. THEN I had the “dream”…i was on a boat cruising towards a man made island of the coast of Mumbai “All the Indian billionaires were building luxury houses and my grand child was designing the Burj al Arab hotel in India. The next morning I sold my 911 for 200,000AUD told my wife if you want we can divorce today split our 16.5million realestate portfolio because like Jesus or Mohammad….I seen the future’ my grandchildren are NOT property developers they are AMAZING DESIGNERS like the “house of PRADA” I am going back to UTS to complete my Architectural Qualifications !!!!!!!!!!!!
Breathtakingly beautiful.
If only their enthusiasm was toned down a bit .
Or they stopped talking over each other!
