West London apartment house tour

last updated 17 June 2022

The owners instantly fell in love with the high ceilings, large windows and the generous proportions of this two-storey west London apartment, but the space needed re-configuring to create a perfect family home. To help with the decoration, the owners enlisted the expertise of interior designer Monique Beauval-Nash.
