1 room flat of 83m² in London

Interior design studio Twinning Design has brought a timeless finish to this second-floor apartment, set within an impressive portico-fronted townhouse. Inside, sophisticated details and a rich colour palette combine to embody the charm of the period building in which it sits. In the heart of the home – the open-plan kitchen and living area – a generous ceiling height, classic wainscoting and custom engineered oak floors create an elegant impression A pair of east-facing sash windows allow natural light to illuminate the room, reflecting off the mirrored splashback in the kitchen. Bespoke black cabinetry with contrasting gold hardware, a solid marble worktop and backlit floating glass shelves ensure a considered culinary scene, tucked neatly into the corner of the living space. Along the corridor, period features continue into the bedroom, concealed behind an Italian made secret door. A custom natural fibre carpet, dimming light fittings and integrated storage bring a welcome dimension to the space while soothing Little Greene paint adorns the walls, complimenting the warm tones of the wooden floor. Also in the hallway and behind another custom-made secret door (complete with a full height mirror on one side), a shower room adorned with handmade emerald tiles and an intricate Moooi wallcovering serves the apartment. Underfloor heating, a walk-in rainfall shower and heated towel rail make it a truly luxurious affair.
