Bayswater Road, London, W2

Beyond a polished lobby with a discreet concierge, the smart interiors of this considered apartment are a mirror of its location. Engineered oak floors run throughout the open-plan living space, where a grand bay window acts as the room’s focal point, overlooking leafy Hyde Park blow. A sleek circular dining table occupies the space in front of the window, while a large sofa occupies the other side of the room. Thoughtfully designed lighting – dimmable spotlights and overhead LEDs – allow for the perfect ambiance at any time of day.

The kitchen fuses form and function. Soft-closing drawers, clean lined cabinetry and quartz countertops are illuminated by a mirrored splashback. Miele appliances, including an integrated oven and an induction hob, are in keeping with the practical, elevated feel.

The principal suite is a sanctuary of calm. Think neutral tones, considered details and a bespoke walk-in wardrobe leading to the en suite bathroom. Marble tiling lines the walls, while a deep bathtub and walk-in shower offer relaxation. The guest bedroom features ample build-in storage and a palette that soothes. The room is served by a family bathroom with a sizeable bathtub and rainfall shower.
