1 room flat of 53m² in London

On a Notting Hill street lined with rainbow-hued townhouses, this two-floor apartment is a calm and considered backdrop for London living. Framed by neighbouring façades in playful shades of pink and yellow, the home’s classic exterior gives way to neutral interiors and airy spaces spread across the third and fourth floors. Maximising light from a generous skylight, an inverted layout places a sweeping open-plan living space at the top of the home. Here, clean architectural lines and gallery-white walls create a sense of calm and clarity, softened by warm wooden flooring. Sliding glass doors extend the living space out to a private balcony – an ideal spot for taking in the sweeping vistas over Notting Hill, particularly at sunset. Back inside, a petite yet efficient kitchen sits off the living area, with integrated appliances including a washer dryer. A Velux window brings both light and dimension to the space, offering elevated views across the neighbourhood’s rooftops. Descending to the lower level, the atmosphere remains serene. The bedroom features soft neutral tones and a sisal-style herringbone carpet. A wall of bespoke panelled wardrobes provides ample storage, while French doors open onto a private terrace – a peaceful spot to catch the morning light. Also on this floor, the bathroom makes a striking impression, clad in a rich green marble contrasted by a pale marble basin.
