This one-bedroom apartment is a joyful collision of colour and craftsmanship, effortlessly layered yet entirely considered. The living room greets you with a striking sweep of vibrant blue walls, showcasing our fabric design, Harlequin for Hazelton House. Its intricate pattern catches the light beautifully, dancing across the space like a piece of living textile art.
The sofa and armchairs sit in perfect harmony, upholstered in an Andrew Martin embroidered stripe that feels wonderfully relaxed yet quietly tailored. There is an ease to it, as though it has always belonged, patiently waiting for you to curl up with a book and a pot of tea.
When working with cooler tones such as blues and crisp whites, we find it essential to weave in warmer hues to create a sense of balance and gentle contrast. This stripe does so beautifully, softening the scheme and bringing a warmth that makes the whole room feel welcoming and alive.
Above the sofa hangs an antique tapestry, framed in a Perspex box so it appears to float lightly against the wall while preserving its delicate texture. It adds a quiet sense of history and depth to the room. On either side, ceramic sculptural lamps in gentle seaside hues bring a soft, calming contrast, their handcrafted forms balancing the livelier patterns and completing the scheme with an easy elegance.
The coffee table, with its soft organic shape and pale chalky finish, brings a sense of calm to the centre of the room. Its sculptural simplicity allows the surrounding patterns to sing while gently anchoring the seating area. Beneath it, a natural sisal rug adds warmth and texture underfoot. Its earthy tone grounds the scheme, providing a quiet counterpoint to the brighter colours and ensuring the room feels both balanced and beautifully lived in.
The floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows are dressed in our fabric design, Hideaway for Christopher Farr. It is a pattern that evokes faraway travels to lost continents, where tents brim with exotic textiles, gently flapping in a warm summer breeze, bringing a sense of escapism and softness to the space.
We introduced a fireplace to create a natural focal point within the room, while also subtly dividing the space. It gives the illusion of two distinct areas, the living room and the dining room, without interrupting the easy flow between them. Flanking the fireplace are two beautiful artworks, handstitched with appliqué cut-outs that form a colourful layered collage of the Peruvian countryside. They bring a welcome sense of warmth to the room, along with that all-important touch of the handmade.
Moving into the bedroom, the same Andrew Martin stripe used on the upholstery in the living room has been carried onto the walls. This creates a natural sense of flow between the two spaces, giving the apartment a unified and harmonious feel.
We designed a bespoke headboard inspired by the Peruvian landscape artwork next door. Carefully hand selecting each wool, we created an abstract sunset set against a mountain backdrop, inviting guests to feel as though they are camping out beneath the stars.
