A four-storey Victorian terraced house in West London with a kitchen-diner, utility room, home cinema and WC on the lower-ground floor. On the ground floor is a living room and on the first floor there are 2 guest bedrooms and a bathroom. The top floor houses the master bedroom suite, with an office area and roof terrace on the mezzanine above.
The living wall in the garden brings a taste of tropics to city living – it’s designed to stay green and verdant all year around.
The living wall was installed by Ans, and the sofas are by Gloster at The Chelsea Gardener.
1/9 Garden
2/9 Living room
The owners wanted a traditional living room, so chose classic furniture and a homely fireplace. The purple velvet footstool adds a retro 60s influence to this space.
For a similar footstool, try DePadova.
3/9 Living room seating
The glass-sided void allows light to flow down to the kitchen underneath. The owner wanted every room to be connected but distinct, each with a different feel and purpose behind it.
The chairs are from The Old Cinema. The pendant light is from Chelsea Lighting Design.

4/9 Kitchen
Strong design is made comfortable and easy with a mix of classic and modern furniture and art with a twist.

5/9 Kitchen-diner
The Bulthaup storage system creates a multifunctional space that when opened up becomes a working kitchen. When it is closed it's discreet and the room goes back to being an entertaining space - this was chosen to continue the idea of fluidity and spaciousness..
The kitchen cupboard, shelving system and workbench are from Bulthaup.
6/9 Hallway
The hallway brilliantly mixes the traditional, modern and quirky. The parquet flooring and runner give a timeless feel, but are offset by ultra-stylish pendants and a rococo mirror for an eclectic blend.
The pendant light is by Foscarini.
7/9 Master bedroom
The fluid lines and icy-white hue of the spiral staircase make a stunning feature in the bedroom. The stairs lead up to an office and roof terrace.
The floor lamp is from The Conran Shop.
8/9 Bathroom
This freestanding bath is the focal point of the bedroom suite. The white chair is typical of the owners twist-on-a-classic style.
The bath is from Svedbergs, and the armchair is from Chaplins.
9/9 Washroom
Even the smallest of spaces is filled with the unexpected. The bookshelf wallpaper forces you to take a second look.
The wallpaper is from Bodie And Fou, and the basin is from CP Hart.
