Contemporary Apartment in Fulham: City Living at its Understated Best!

There are a few apartments that inspire us with space-savvy design ide while others introduce new ways in which old styles can be reinvented. This picture-perfect apartment in Hammersmith and Fulham, London offers ample inspiration for those who are in search of great ways to decorate their contemporary apartment. A three-bedroom home that occupies 1300-square feet of space, the apartment was designed by Black and Milk Interior Design to meet the specific needs of its owners who wanted for a creative, elegant and polished living environment.

As you step into the apartment you notice how the white backdrop in each room acts as a blank canvas for the many patterns, colors and designs that have been added to the mix in a curated manner. Each décor piece, custom furniture addition and accessory has been specifically chosen to enhance the overall theme of the room and to add functionality along with perfect aesthetics. In the living area a low-slung sectional in white along with a custom coffee table hold fort while the marble top dining table steals the spotlight in the dining area.

In the bedrooms, fabulous wall art pieces add color to the neutral setting while a home office in white with gray desk and ample shelving and exquisite kids’ rooms in light blue and gray complete this wonderful London apartment

What I loved about working with them wasn’t just their passion and vision, but that they really embraced how I wanted to use the space and what would work best for my family. Olga and Toly work directly with furniture makers so many of the pieces in this project are custom, designed specifically for the smaller proportions of city living.

  • Westwood House

    Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville NC with distant north views of Mt Spivey and a narrow sloping lot, this wedge-shaped home is a response to site. We took into careful consideration a variety of site-specific inputs including views, sun orientation, prevailing winds, privacy, and natural cooling/heating techniques among others. The result is a functional, energy efficient home with a distinctive exterior shape and warm light filled interior spaces. The home’s dominant shed roof maximizes solar orientation for photovoltaic panels while also allowing for a double-height central atrium to flood the core of the house with natural light and exhaust hot air on hot summer days. The introduction of natural light into the core of the house reduces the need for artificial lighting on cloudy days, while the chimney effect created by opening large operable skylights at the top of the atrium reduces HVAC loads by bringing cool air up from the basement. This central atrium is an example of how a design feature can multitask –it brings natural light deep into the core of the house, it cools the house using the chimney effect, and it provides a place to grow plants which filter interior air. It also allowed us to minimize the street facing windows for privacy while still maintaining a light filled interior. Anchoring the bottom of the atrium are four large arched openings and a Spanish terracotta tile floor. The tile floor is a durable surface good for watering plants and for heavy foot traffic. A keyhole opening marks the boundary between private and public sides of the house while two of the arched openings frame an intimate eating nook and entry foyer with walls covered in locally milled southern yellow pine. The last arch has steps spilling out into a sunken living room and kitchen area with access to a back deck. Locally milled cypress, a naturally rot resistant wood, covers the exterior and anchors the strong geometry of the house to the site. In the end, our desire for functionality created something more than just an energy efficient home. The interior took on an unexpected bohemian feel; one that originated from a desire for light and functionality, but resulted in warm soft interior spaces that were comfortable and welcoming.
