LOCATION: KNIGHTSBRIDGE
TIMESCALE: IN progress
SCOPE OF WORKS: FULL INTERIOR DESIGN & BESPOKE JOINERY SERVICE
This Knightsbridge apartment, a haven for a young, discerning client, underwent a dramatic transformation. Stripped to its core, this turn-key project was meticulously curated to include every aspect of luxury living—from bespoke artwork and accessories to a complete overhaul of the interior structure.
Entrance Hall: A Grand Welcome
Stepping into this space, one is immediately captivated by the grandeur of Calacatta marble flooring. The addition of large, Envo double doors in antique brass not only amplifies the space but also bathes it in light from the adjacent reception. Panelled walls create a textured backdrop to custom joinery, featuring antique mirrored door fronts, blending utility with elegance. A centerpiece Haberdashery light, sculpted from porcelain leaves edged in bronze and gold, casts a warm glow over a Tom Faulkner entrance table, boasting a smoked bronze glass top and an antique brass base. Complementing this is an Art et Floritude wall sculpture, backlit to exude a welcoming aura.
Reception: A Fusion of Elegance and Comfort
In the reception area, custom joinery conceals air-conditioning units, complementing a wall-mounted TV above a Nero Marquina marble fireplace. The space is adorned with a custom rug from the Juliette Byrne Inspired Collection, crafted from sustainable materials. A Robert Langford curved sofa, accented with blush-toned scatters, anchors the space. The dining area, defined by herringbone parquet flooring from Arkone, features a border and antique brass trim. Hand-painted Fromental wallpaper with crystal birds and flowers, an antique mirror, and a Serip pendant light create a mesmerizing dining ambiance. Motorized window dressings, seamlessly integrated into the AV system, add to the room’s luxurious feel.
BESPOKE KITCHEN: A CULINARY MARVEL
Crafted by Round House, the kitchen resonates with a modern, sleek design. Metal plinths in antique brass mirror the finish of the sink and tap, harmoniously blending with lacquered wall panels in a high gloss finish, reflecting light and adding a touch of glamour. The kitchen features banquette seating with integrated lighting, paired with a Tom Faulkner Capricorn dining table and Luna pendants by Gabriel Scott. A cleverly concealed pantry and a sliding pocket door elevate the functionality of this space.
Master Bedroom: A Sanctuary of Splendor
The master bedroom, accessed through double doors from the entrance hall, exudes grandeur with a ceiling-height headboard by Robert Langford. A custom-made dressing table with Calacatta Viola marble top and antique brass legs sits elegantly between flowing curtains. The plush silk carpet underfoot adds to the room's opulence.
Dressing Room: Elegance Meets Functionality
The dressing room features LED-lit, hand-painted Fromental door fronts, a built-in desk area against a backdrop of exquisite joinery, and ample storage meticulously designed for an extensive collection of shoes and bags, with open shelving tailored to the client’s specific needs.
