A maisonette on the ground and basment floors of a west London townhouse. Upstairs, there is an open-plan living/dining room, a WC and a kitchen/breakfast room housed in the top half of a double-height glass extension. Downstairs, there is a master bedroom with a dressing room, shower room and media area that opens on to the garden (the space can be divided with folding doors to create a third bedroom), kids bedroom and a family bathroom.

The decor in this beautifully proportioned west London maisonette is inspired by luxury hotels. The owners set out to create the ultimate hotel suite, where you forget the cares of the world.
2/12 Wine rack storage
Making the most of the townhouse's impressive proportions, one of the wide alcoves flanking the chimney breast is used as a wine store. The ever-changing wall of red wine adds a homely, lived-in feel to the space.
