Dating back to the late 19th century, and hidden behind the traditional brickwork façade of the old King’s College, the apartment spans over 7,500 sq ft, comprising numerous reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining space, a formal dining room, and six bedrooms.

The homeowner, who is also a collector and philanthropist, appointed London-based interior design studio Studio Vero, to carry out a full turnkey makeover, making sure to inject personality with an underlying universal appeal, without looking like a typical staged property.

Studio Vero: "This show-stopping stairwell is from one of our favourite projects in Chelsea. The pink grasscloth provides the perfect backdrop for the clients' bold art collection."

Romanos Brihi, partner and co-founder at Studio Vero: “We really wanted to create a place of wonder, with surprises and delights at every turn. We created themes and played around with patterns, textures, and finishes, resulting in truly joyful outcomes that merged Parisian elegance with bold and eclectic accents from a combination of antiques and bespoke pieces in collaboration with the finest artisans and craftsmen.”

The design narrative balances extensive layering of materials–from exquisite timbers to intricate metalwork, complemented by the finest selection of fabrics.
