The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has it all – monuments, museums, royal parks, Victorian and Art Nouveau architecture, fashion, swagger and now Lancer Square. With so much to feed off, we set to work blending a little sartorial style with a dash of bohemian nonconformity and a bounty of new- and old-school craft techniques. The result is a characterful, comfortable and creatively-inspired home fit for a King.

  • Pale mint walls provide a light and fresh backdrop for statement pieces, including a handwoven tapestry, a glass chandelier of hand-formed discs, and a glossy table covered in thousands of tiny eggshells. It’s an uplifting space designed to kickstart the day the right way.

  • We clad a large expanse of living room wall in panels of etched, copper-hued wood. The material’s rich, rusty tones and innate tactility make for a warm and impactful design feature. It’s functional, too, as the mounted painting glides across in both directions to reveal a large TV.

  • The principal bedroom pays homage to the Kensington Market of the bustling 70s with bold repeat patterns and a distinctive palette of orange, avocado and earthy brown. We’ve refined the look with handcrafted bedsides featuring expressive bronze work, cylindrical glass lamps with hand-applied gold finish, and a full-height upholstered wall with walnut inlay. This period never looked so good.

  • Textured bedsides of eucalyptus and sculpted bronze. Cylindrical lamps of intricately-veined marble. Brushed-fringed cushions. Woven wallpaper. And a super king bed nestled into a gently curved upholstered wall for added cosiness. Every component fine-tuned to make guests feel warmly welcome.

  • A charismatic combination of kombu-green walls and a petrol-blue wingback chair. It’s a confidently pared back and reassuringly calm room, just the thing to sharpen the mind before getting down to business.

  • From the surging waves of intensely pigmented blues in Trevor Bell’s modernist masterpiece to the mid-century chandelier with its twisted Murano-glass sheets – the dining room celebrates Kensington’s associations with the modern, vintage, bohemian and artistic.
