Take a tour around a London penthouse apartment

The zestful colour scheme and textural fabrics used to cover the squashy sofa makes the room both stylish for entertaining and comfortable enough for everday life. A sunburst mirror creates real impact.

A French polisher stained the existing units in a dark wenge finish to match the wood used elsewhere in the apartment.

Chairs positioned opposite the kitchen offer useful seating.

With glass on three sides, this impressive room allows dinner guests to enjoy spectacular views of central London.

The silk wallpaper has been mounted on panels instead of directly on to the walls, which means the couple can take them with them if they move.

A series of individually framed photographs act as a storyboard on this picture wall.

Custom-made furniture helps give this room a sense of symmetry and calm in spite of its awkwardly placed windows and doors, and sloping walls.

A quiet but elegant silver-grey striped wallpaper and white sheer curtains with silk blinds set the tone in this hotel-style guest bedroom

Bespoke mirrors mounted on top of the existing mirror add an interesting dimension in the sleek bathroom.
