A Moody Color Palette and Eclectic Interiors in a London Apartment
Unique, bold, eclectic, and fabulous! These are just a few words to describe this magnificent London apartment located on a leafy street between Maida Vale and St John’s Wood. The one-bedroom apartment lies on the raised ground floor of a white stucco Victorian villa and has been carefully renovated by its current owners.
The walls in every room in the apartment are painted in moody color tones, making the historical features and grand proportions stand out even more. These moody spaces are decorated in an eclectic style using furniture and decor from various periods, styles, and colors. You must take a look at this home.
The living room is enlightened thanks to these magnificent floor-to-ceiling sash windows in a tall bay. They are framed by original working shutters and a deep skirting board. All the woodwork, the ceiling, and the architrave are painted in a buttery white shade, making them stand out against the dark color of the walls.
A perfect example of late Victorian artistry is the 19th-century fire surround with handpainted pastoral scenery and marbling.
The small but smartly planned kitchen lies in the back of the house. It has a large window overlooking the communal garden.
The modern white cabinets are topped with a terracotta marble worktop. Upper cabinets are on one side, while shelves on the other side maintain an open feeling.
The bedroom also features magnificent windows overlooking the garden, and the restored original wooden shutters create privacy. The colorful bedding and canopy contrast the moody tones of the wall.
There are built-in wardrobes on either side of the room, so there is plenty of storage space in this one-bedroom apartment.
The hallway has a Gothic vibe, with dark walls painted in Farrow and Ball’s ‘Mahogany’, red textiles, and a gilded mirror.
The bathroom is the only light room in the house thanks to the soapstone tiles.
The apartment is listed for £750,000 at Inigo.
