ROOMS

1 LET’S DO DUTCH Who’s going to argue when this is your

destination? This apartment is filled with fabulous vintage finds and art

in a wonderful mix and match of eras and styles, all on a canvas of high

ceilings, architectural mouldings, fireplaces and herringbone parquetry

floors. With their sculptural lines, the contemporary furniture pieces and

1960 Arne Jacobsen floor light provide a counterpoint to the oldies-but-

goodies heritage features. It’s timeless decorating at its best.

2 MS MIX-IT The Queen Anne-style turned-leg table, stacked

vintage luggage and contemporary bracket lights are in striking

contrast, but there are no scary nightmares in this bedroom because

the tightly controlled palette harmonises all. White sheers echo the

walls and bedding and draw the eye out to the balcony.

3 SOAP OPERA You’ll do much more than take a bath in this

theatrical space – your guests will want to just sit here and soak up the

ambience. All the original features have been painstakingly preserved,

including the gorgeous original Art Nouveau tiles and clawfoot bath.
