Be inspired by a luxurious and quirky west London home

Modern living

A late-19th-century house in west London. The lower ground floor has an open-plan living/dining/kitchen space, WC and utility room, while the upper ground floor has an entrance hall, playroom, drawing room and WC. The first floor has a master bedroom suite, plus a second bathroom and family bathroom. The boys’ bedrooms and a bathroom are on the top floor.

Living room

The L-shaped sofa creates a definite seating zone in the open-plan space. Accessories and soft furnishings in luxurious fabrics soften the look.

Kitchen-diner

The kitchen is separated from the dining/living area by a wall of black-steel-framed glazing. The reclaimed wood table, salvaged from a ballroom dance studio, gives this room a vintage feel.

Kitchen

The painted wooden units add a country-style element, while the bold blue hue creates a contemporary contrast.

Dining room

The black-steel-framed windows give definition to the layout, without boxing it in, while the cool contradictions of materials and décor that mix ragged and rich, contemporary and vintage, create a striking effect.

Master bedroom

The bedroom is inspired by the décor of London's Covent Garden Hotel - a luxurious mix of textures with a twist. The chintzy bedlinen has been dip-dyed so it has an edge and a nice contradiction.
