Maximalist in almost every sense, this two-bedroom home is a daring expression of ‘more is more’. Beyond a Bayswater street lined with pristine stucco terraces, impressive proportions are layered with colour and pattern – a collaboration between interior specialist Pandora Taylor and textile artist Susi Bellamy. <br/><br/>Inside, each room feels composed as a carefully choreographed progression of the last. Swirling marbled wallpaper starts a ripple of rich tones, an effect that carries from the entrance throughout, guiding the way from one room to the next. At the front of the apartment, a living space expands dramatically beneath sash windows that overlook the trees of the square. Soft daylight pours through the glazing, illuminating mint-green walls and a room filled with characterful pieces. Beyond, the kitchen reads almost like a jewel box. Peach blossom cabinetry is offset with rose gold details; a deep green quartzite countertop introduces a subtle tonal shift. A mix of open and concealed storage ensures the space remains clutter-free while essentials stay accessible. <br/><br/>The bedrooms continue the apartment’s rich palette. In the principal room, golden walls glow warmly against patterned fabrics and dark wooden details. Its en suite follows the same expressive approach – Susi Bellamy wallpaper, Pooky lighting and a heated towel rail complement a spacious shower. Elsewhere, the guest bedroom incorporates a cleverly designed sleeping nook framed by scalloped joinery. It’s served by the family bathroom, where candy-toned tiles backdrop a freestanding tub.<br/><br/>Set just streets away from Hyde Park, green space galore awaits at Queen’s Gardens. Jog around the lake, stroll through the Italian Gardens or – if you’re feeling brave – take a dip in the Serpentine Lido. The bars and restaurants of Paddington Basin are in easy reach, together with Westbourne Grove and The Whiteley – home to restaurants, cafes, a Third Space gym and a Six Senses Spa. Hop on the tube to Bond Street and Marylebone for art hunting or evenings at Home House members’ club. In the other direction, spend the weekends perusing Portobello Road Market. Complete the day with dinner at The Park and a film at The Whiteley’s Everyman Cinema. <br/><br/>Bayswater - 8 mins<br/>Queensway - 9 mins <br/>Paddington - 12 mins<br/><br/>
