Matthews Rea were asked to design and install the interior décor for two three-bedroom apartments within this unique newly build development in Kensington. Taking inspiration from the modern architectural detailing, the designers worked with a natural, textured, and warm palette to give the spaces a welcoming, elegant but contemporary feel.

When working on interior design schemes for a developer, Matthews Rea can assist with the base design and finishes, including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, doors, ironmongery etc. In this instance, everything was in place, so they worked closely with the Developers team – Architect, Project Management and Contractors to ensure that they offered wall finishes, joinery, furniture, lighting, rugs and art etc that fitted seamlessly into the decisions already made. In the living area, the designers installed a large scaled patterned canvas with a predominantly mustard and green colour palette to draw your eyes immediately. Many interesting pieces of artwork were utilised throughout the scheme to create an art gallery like feel in this luxury home.

Matthews Rea met with the architect on more than one occasion to really understand their design ethos for the apartments. Clean lines and beautiful vistas from one room to another belie the amount of careful attention to detail required for this type of modern living. It’s all about understated comfort and luxury, carefully considered and designed for modern living.
