Macroom Road, London, W9

A one-bedroom studio apartment for rent within a gated development, where minimalist interiors meet an artistic past.
Once part of a photographer’s studio, Macroom Road has retained its creative sensibility. Interior design by Tala Fustok is a lesson in restraint, with gallery-like white walls, clean lines and considered black accents creating an understated backdrop.

The footprint is neatly divided between living and sleeping spaces, while overhead skylights draw daylight deep inside. A crisp, monochromatic palette keeps the atmosphere cohesive throughout.

The bedroom is screened from the kitchen by a curtain, which can be drawn back during the day to preserve the open flow. Fitted wardrobes provide generous storage, while an integrated headboard lends a bespoke feel.

Beyond, the matte-black Häcker kitchen makes smart use of every inch. Jet-black cabinetry lines one wall, complemented by integrated appliances and a mirrored splashback that subtly amplifies the sense of space. Opposite, a built-in banquette wraps around two walls to create an inviting dining nook.

The bathroom continues the pared-back aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling white square tiles are finished with a sage-green Solus border, leading into a generous walk-in shower

Location
Set between family-friendly Queen’s Park and residential Maida Vale, Macroom Road puts you within strolling distance of a string of independent businesses and 30-acres of green space. Rituals come easily here: flat whites at the Little Coffee Tree, hot yoga at Yogarise, tennis in the park and evenings on much-loved Lonsdale Road. The local dining scene also holds its own, from Japanese haunt Michiko Sushino to Italian classics at Ida.
