Modern Comfort Mews House

Our colour scheme also included paler hues of lighter blues, yellows and greys for the soft furnishings. A statement silk rug from Stark Rugs adds texture and complements the pair of vintage yellow bucket chairs. Working to create unique interiors, we sourced these from Talisman London, the iconic antiques showroom based in Chelsea’s design quarter and founded by Ken Bolan. The expansive principal bedroom occupies the entire second floor of the property, so we divided the space up by incorporating a study area, complete with a drape desk designed by Neri & Hu and a cushioned armchair from De La Espada.

Our main challenge was accommodating the open-plan design of the space. As it was a mews house, there were few enclosed areas, so we had to create different zones for different purposes throughout the home. This meant that no space was left unconsidered when reimagining the interior design for this property. We crafted tranquil spaces to sit and relax, such as a library area nestled in the corner of the principal bedroom. The dark wood bookshelf is adorned with decorative accents. A vintage glass sculptural lamp, Murano glass vessels and vintage Maitland Smith tessellated marble box also add personality. As the house is hidden away in a quiet Notting Hill mews, we wanted the luxury interior design scheme to reflect its positioning, and make it a place for unwinding and decompressing after a busy day in the city.

Upon completion of this project, Designed by Woulfe was proudly shortlisted for the International Design and Architecture Awards, 2018.

We wanted every design element to uphold the overall feel of a carefully considered, yet comfortable and welcoming home. To connect interlocking spaces, we repeated rectangular and circular patterns throughout the design scheme. The staircase for instance, with its contrast white edge and set against wood-panelled walls, mimics the bold use of geometric shapes as decoration which is present in other areas of the home.
