Amhurst Road

Once a tired London apartment, this space has been thoughtfully transformed into a serene sanctuary defined by calm, character, and comfort. Designed by Emma, the home now reflects a modern still life story where each element is intentionally placed to evoke warmth and harmony.

Vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light create an airy, open atmosphere, while a muted colour palette maintains a relaxed, welcoming feel. The newly renovated kitchen showcases clean lines and natural materials, with warm bronze brassware offering a refined, understated detail.

Texture plays a central role throughout, with linen, wood, stone, and ceramics blending to craft a rich, layered aesthetic. A curated mix of vintage and contemporary furniture adds depth and personality, creating a home that feels both sophisticated and effortlessly lived in.
