Egerton - whimsical elegance

Knightsbridge property with triple basement

The owners have converted this Knightsbridge property with triple basement to make an eclectic home blending classical, contemporary and ethnic influences for whimsical elegance. They have chosen an updated elegant country house feel with additions of colour, willow pattern and floral modern touches. The walls in the family room are lined in green silk and softly accentuate the ebony bookcases, lacquered Chinese coffee table and Syrian inlay table. An old film poster set against pale blue walls adds a timeless feel to the living room, while a vase with autumn leaves amplifies the dining rooms and their unique colour scheme from poetic pastels to rich lacquered wood. The dining area features ceiling-to-floor antique mirror with a contemporary painting from the Stephanie Hoppen Gallery, which accentuates the mantelpiece. Period and modern decor throughout meet this varied mix of objects and furnishings, acquired at auctions and from all corners of the world. In collaboration with Louise Jones Interiors, the owners have invested patience in creating the perfect balance between grandeur and a charming ambience.
