Gothic bookcases situated in stunning interior by Rab & Co Interior Design- Hampstead

South Kensington Apartment

The full renovation of a two bedroom apartment on one of London’s finest garden squares. Untouched for decades, this apartment was modernised for the next generation. We worked with many wonderful heirlooms to weave a story through this house that connected the past and the future.

 

The Drawing Room

 

The fantastic gothic bookcases were already in the flat and much of the art work is from the client’s personal collection. We blended items from several generations to create a rich backdrop that’s unique to them.

The Bedrooms

 

We opened up a previously covered window in the master bedroom which totally changed the light and meant we could create a real showstopper of a space. In the guest bedroom, we created an inviting and cosy space with a wonderful wallpaper and antique furniture.

The Kitchen

 

A challenging space without any windows, we had to fit a lot in without making the space feel crowded. Custom designed cabinetry that makes the most of the ceiling height and a bespoke bar trolley create flexible space that’s charming and bright.

The Entrance Hall

 

It’s important to me that houses offer a sense of arrival. The entrance hall of this apartment has wonderful high ceilings and we chose a linen wall covering that gives a sense of depth. Beautiful etchings make a wonderful statement opposite the front door and the leopard print stool is a wonderful heirloom.

The Cloakroom

 

Less than a metre wide but needing to incorporate a shower, sink and loo, this cloakroom is a great example of small but mighty!
