Japanese-inspired design brings a calming aura to this two-bedroom apartment, set within a traditional South Kensington townhouse.

Bedrooms: 2
Bathrooms: 2
Capacity: 5

With its Shoji-style window screens and sapele wood wall panels, there’s a peaceful zen-like energy to Coleherne Road. Eastern sensibilities have guided the interiors, grounding the space in simplicity.

A restricted palette of tones and textures creates a calming backdrop, bringing a natural sense of flow to the open-plan reception room. No detail has been overlooked. Bespoke kitchen units by Concept Linea have been layered with Delabré brass by De Castelli to striking effect. Silestone worktops and a solid walnut dining table by Ado Avdagić balance form with function. Underfoot, large format Grespania Ceramica tiles in lava iron continue the earthy, organic aesthetic.

The kitchen leads seamlessly to a seating area, where custom-made paper screens diffuse soft light through the space via a generous bay window. A pair of Piero Lissoni velvet tuxedo sofas bathe in the glow. As the daylight ebbs, settle down in front of the TV; highly configurable smart LED lighting means you can set the mood with ease.

Clean lines are smoothed with natural materials in both bedrooms. Slide back the 3.5-metre-tall door to the principal suite and you’ll find tactile wood, stone and an inviting super king sized platform bed for a restful night’s sleep; roll down the electric blinds at the touch of a button. An internal window looks through to the living space, letting natural light trickle through both rooms – switch it to opaque for privacy as required. Sitting behind a glass door, dark stone covers every surface in the en suite, creating a comforting cocoon. Unwind in the deep bathtub, with a rainfall shower overhead.

Tucked away at the back of the apartment, a streamlined shower room and versatile guest bedroom. Meticulously planned to optimise the floorspace, two folding beds by Pozzoli Milan – one king-sized, one single – pull out from the wall. Come daytime, tidy away to transform the room into a convenient office.

About the area

Buzzing, creative South Kensington is your backdrop here – the perfect spot to wine, dine or watch the world go by.

Sitting among the boutiques and brasseries of SW10 but within walking distance of South Kensington’s world-renowned museums, tick off the sights or leave the guidebook at home – there’s plenty to entertain either way. Refresh your wardrobe on the King’s Road, refuelling with a leisurely lunch at Sophie’s or Medlar. If the weather obliges, grab a gelato cone from Badiani; enjoy it en route to The Victoria & Albert Museum or the historic Brompton Cemetery – the resting place of Emmeline Pankhurst. In the evening, join the locals for a drink at The Hollywood Arms or catch some live music at Troubadour.
