1 room apartment of 52m² in London

Set back from the busier streets of Notting Hill, a heritage townhouse plays host to this contemporary apartment. Inside, interior designer Nina Litchfield brings together character and considered detail. The reception room pairs warmth with a quietly refined feel: rich textures and layered accents introduce a lived-in ease. An olive velvet sofa grounds the space, set by a carved fireplace with a built-in logburner. A woven tapestry by Sussy Cazalet uplifts the white walls, while wooden chairs offer space to dine around a classic marble tulip table. In the galley kitchen, clean lines and natural materials take the lead. Birch-ply cabinetry is topped with a stainless steel countertop and splashback; open shelving ensures everyday necessities are within reach. The bedroom centres on comfort, enhanced by a textured carpet and tall sash window that filters in daylight. A deep aubergine wall of bespoke joinery creates generous storage, complete with a rolling oak ladder for easy access to the upper cupboards. A cosy bathroom completes the home, wrapped in warm yellow tones with an arched mosaic floor that frames the shower.
