Chesterton Road, London, W10

Set on the second floor of a period conversion, an impactful colour palette elevates this apartment. Inside, dark walls and finishes are contrasted with white accents, creating a cinematic effect. A lesson in monochrome, the open-plan living space is as polished as it is practical. Diagonal black and white stripes make a focal point of the fireplace, while mirrored panels on either side accentuate the generous proportions of the room. Filling the space with ample natural light, four sash windows illuminate the smart parquet flooring and lofty ceiling height.

Deep-toned cabinetry merges with the wall colour, making the transition from living space to kitchen seamless. A white island pops against the dramatic backdrop, with hanging pendant lights adding an atmospheric glow. Every inch of the footprint has been maximised here – note the neatly integrated appliances and cupboards that stretches to the ceiling.

Things take a lighter turn in the bedroom, where white walls and a south-facing sash window lend a bright and inviting outlook. Fitted storage keeps the sleeping quarters streamlined and calming. The black-and-white theme continues in the contemporary bathroom next door, complete with marble tiling and sophisticated matte black fixtures. For a touch of everyday luxury, there are twin basins and a rainfall shower positioned over the bathtub.
