Be inspired by this chic London apartment
Take a room-by-room tour around beautiful Homes & Gardens readers' homes. This week we look inside a chic west London apartment for stunning decorating inspiration. Be inspired by this ground-floor London flat.
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.
The wall paint if from Farrow & Ball.

Modern sofas and neutral walls add a sense of calm to the space, which is kept warm in winter by an underfloor heating system.
The cushions are from Fox Linton.
3/7 Dining room
A dining room links with an adjoining living room, with the same paint colour and flooring throughout. Padded benches replace dining chairs, and a desk is secreted behind the cupboard doors.

Tall carved figures from Ethiopia accentuate the lofty ceiling, and stand-out against the white wall.
