Burrows Road, London, NW10

Over the first floor of a smart brick and stucco terrace, this lateral apartment takes an assured approach to colour. Deep, saturated hues define the interiors, layering character over considered design.

A monochrome-tiled pathway leads to a deep red front door – a subtle introduction to the personality inside. Deep teal tones envelop the entrance, transitioning to a bold royal blue in the spacious open-plan reception room. There’s a welcoming light courtesy of a large bay window, while a cast iron fireplace compliments the moody aesthetic. Built-in cabinetry and open shelving keep the space simultaneously practical and stylish.

The kitchen and dining area continues the narrative of colour and contrast: deep blue shaker-style cabinetry pairs with light stone worktops, while a butler sink, floating wooden shelves and exposed bulb pendant lights lend an artisanal feel. A tall sash window frames leafy views, ensuring this space feels bright and airy.

In the bedrooms, colour is utilised with a softer touch. Teal stretches across the walls and ceiling of the principal bedroom, where a large sash window filters in natural light. The guest bedroom is a brighter counterpart in pastel blue, with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes ensuring an efficient use of space. The family bathroom leans into a retro sensibility; its blue and beige tiles nod to mid-century design, while the wood-clad bathtub adds warmth.

A stone’s throw from Kensal Green station, this inviting apartment is both well-connected and a welcome reprieve from city life. A neighbourhood that takes pride in its independent businesses, many are right on your front doorstep here – from Wildcard Coffee to Rise & Vine. Grab a caffeine kick from Ciullo’s before heading to local cinema The Lexi. Nearby Queen’s Park is just a short stroll away, offering more of the same in terms of charm, coveted restaurants and its eponymous Park, complete with tennis courts and a weekly farmers’ market.
