Take a tour around a minimalist pad in Earl's Court

published 28 June 11

The living room is an unfussy, contemporary space with cool furniture, yet its flashes of citrus colour along with the angled and arched lower windows mean it's far from bland.

1/8 Living room

living room with white wall and sofa set cushions

Two sofas and an ottoman from Minotti (opens in new tab) create an L-shaped seating area. John Lewis (opens in new tab) sells a wide range of colourful cushions.

2/8 Stairs

The staircase leads up to a mezzanine level above the kitchen, providing storage underneath for books.

3/8 Kitchen

kitchen with dark wooden cabinet and person

The kitchen is a big, connected space, perfect for entertaining. Sleek, dark wooden cabinets give the kitchen a streamlined look. Try Alno (opens in new tab) for similar.

4/8 Kitchen island

The orange leather-topped kitchen stools are by Jasper Morrison, from Capellini (opens in new tab). The kitchen worktop is Corian (opens in new tab) and the floor is fired acacia wood from Element 7 (opens in new tab). Walls are painted in Farrow & Ball (opens in new tab)'s Strong White.

5/8 Study

The home office has been kept cool and simple to aid concentration.

Twentytwentyone (opens in new tab) does similar chairs by Eames. The computer desk is by Le Corbusier (opens in new tab).

6/8 Hallway

The corridors are painted in Farrow & Ball (opens in new tab)'s Hardwick White

7/8 Bedroom

Floor-to-ceiling fitted cupboards provide plenty of storage in the bedroom, while the gas fire with its marble surround adds a cosy focal point.

The dark brown woven leather bed is from the Bartlett collection by Gordon Guillaumier for Minotti (opens in new tab). The armchair and footstool are from B&B Italia (opens in new tab).

8/8 Bathroom

The en-suite bathroom is a serene space, with pristine white Corian (opens in new tab) bathware on limestone tiling. The warmth of the dark wood provides an elegant contrast. The taps are from Czech & Speake (opens in new tab).
