1 room apartment of 46m² in London

In Porchester Square, rows of towering stucco-fronted townhouses speak of Notting Hill’s esteemed architectural heritage. Beyond a grand portico entrance, this one-bedroom lateral apartment echoes the design-forward sensibilities of its postcode. Spread across the first floor, expect carefully-considered upholstery, contemporary artwork and detailed accents throughout. The entrance hallway is bright and bold, wrapped in Morris & Co. wallpaper interspersed with framed prints. Next door, an open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room enjoys high ceilings with neat cornicing and wood floors. An elegant lounge area is backdropped by matching bookshelves and a patterned feature wall, while soft seating is arranged around an Ottoman. A wooden dining table seats six, set beneath contemporary glass pendant lights. Adjacent, the kitchen is at once artful and ergonomic. Smooth worktops and whitewashed cabinets are emboldened with a mint-green Smeg fridge and an array of colourful plates and pictures. Natural light beams through two full-height sash windows, through which there’s access to a private balcony. Surrounded by cast-iron railings and leafy trees, it’s a tranquil al fresco spot to make the most of London’s sunny days. Continuing the home’s carefully-considered aesthetic palette, the bedroom has been finished in pale pinks and blues. A floral fabric headboard is complemented with modern bedside tables and lamps, while floor-to-ceiling wardrobes offer ample storage. A calming bathroom sits next door, with oversized marble tiles that surround a bathtub.
