An Elegant and Serene Two-Bedroom Apartment in Notting Hill
A classic Victorian townhouse in Notting Hill has been converted into apartments, and on the first floor, you can find this two-bedroom home with interiors by Rachel Aisling Walker (Raw Interiors).
The 610-square-foot apartment beautifully pairs period elements with a more contemporary interior scheme. Original details, such as a marble fireplace, high ceilings, and sash windows, create the perfect base for a light-filled and comfortable apartment.
The apartment features a semi-open-plan living space with, on one side, the sitting and dining area, and the kitchen in a nook behind the sofa.
The living room is defined by two huge windows that let in a lot of natural light. The furnishings are centered around the new Jamb fireplace, flanked by built-in shelves and a home bar on one side.
The interior scheme is calm and natural with wooden floorboards, a large jute rug, and natural colors like green, blue tones, and olive. The early 20th-century wall hanging adds some pattern and muted color to the room.
On the other side, a rustic wooden dining table is set against the wall, surrounded by mid-century dining chairs by H.W. Klein for Bramin. The built-in bar features a green marble top.
The kitchen can be found in a separate niche behind the sofa. The room pairs muted green cabinetry with a Belgian blue limestone countertop and Marlborough Tiles. A display shelf, instead of upper cabinets, keeps this small area airy and functional.
The master bedroom is designed to create a serene atmosphere. A new marble fireplace anchors the room, and the walls are painted in a subtle pink plaster.
Two alabaster Pierre Chareau wall sconces hang above the fireplace, while a textured sisal carpet adds a natural touch to the room.
The second bedroom is a cozy room wrapped in Robert Kime wallpaper and featuring a single bed under the window, which can be turned into a cozy cocoon by drawing the curtains.
The bathroom features dusty pink Tadelakt walls, marble floor tiles, and gilded fittings. It has a combined bath and shower, hidden in a niche.
The apartment is listed for rent on Domus Nova.
