Contrasting Colors in an Elegant Notting Hill Townhouse

Step inside this Notting Hill townhouse and you’ll find a home that wears its heritage with confidence, and just the right dash of attitude. Set on one of the neighbourhood’s most elegant stucco-lined streets, it’s a classic London façade that gives little away about the expressive, design-forward world within.

Interior designer Theresa Obermoser has reimagined tradition here, balancing period poise with modern artistry across four meticulously finished floors.

On the ground floor, you find a refined double reception room that celebrates the property’s Victorian soul with ornate cornicing, elegant architraves, and an antique marble fireplace.

Deep tones and velvet textures envelop the space in quiet drama, while a skylit nook to the rear, complete with 1940s shell chairs, offers an intimate spot to pause, read, or gaze out at the garden from the balcony beyond.

On the lower ground level, there is a grand, light space where family life takes centre stage. Warm herringbone flooring, heated underfoot, flows through a generous open-plan living space. It’s a room designed to gather and connect.

A sculptural micro-cement island draws the eye, while sleek, white cabinetry and stainless-steel details convey a minimalist sensibility.

A wall of bi-fold glass blurs the boundary between inside and out, opening to a tiered garden framed by lush greenery.

The guest bathroom is decorated with the vibrant “Savuti” wallpaper by Cole & Son.

The principal suite spans an entire floor above, crafted as a retreat of rich color and indulgent detail.

A freestanding copper bath, situated in front of the fireplace, takes pride of place, catching the light like a piece of sculpture.

There’s a dedicated dressing space, and the en-suite bathroom, layered in marble mosaic with a micro-cement shower, opens directly to a private balcony for morning air or evening calm.
