1 room flat of 100m² in London

A period framework reimagined with contemporary cool. Set on a quintessential Notting Hill street, this one-bedroom apartment has been thoughtfully redesigned by creative Chris Schuster. The reception space establishes the home’s expressive but understated palette: A crisp white backdrop becomes a canvas for abstract artwork, flashes of colour and tactile layering. The layout naturally defines two zones – a marble fireplace with a working gas fire anchors the lounge, while a travertine dining table offers intimate seating for two. In the separate Smallbone kitchen, rich green cabinetry wraps one wall with precision. A black countertop, integrated appliances and a Miele oven keep the space streamlined and functional. The bedroom adopts a more pared-back mood, calm in soft neutrals and clean lines. Storage is cleverly built in – bespoke wardrobes framing the entrance and wall-mounted side tables that free up floor space. The family bathroom continues the refined tone, dressed in Walton Ceramics tiles and finished with a bathtub and overhead shower. Location On the doorstep to both Notting Hill Gate and Kensington Gardens, there’s a best-of-both-worlds feel to Clanricarde Gardens. Ease into the day with Pilates at Heartcore, followed by coffee at Kuro or a leafy stroll to the Serpentine Gallery. Come evening, dine out a local favourite Mazi or enjoy a drink at The Hillgate. Weekends are made for exploring Portobello Road Market. Post treasure hunting, head in the direction of Holland Park to peruse the page-turners at Daunt Books.
