Rebecca James Studio designed a West London home which balances as it contrasts
If the term “opposite attracts” were a home, it would manifest in Rebecca James Studio’s West London project, nicknamed Porchester, which drew inspiration from the clients’ very distinct characters: his contemporary clinical taste and her bold and quirky maximalism.
In the trusted hands of the London-based design firm, acclaimed for its bespoke approach that exudes a sense of timeless finesse and sophistication, the 5,200 square feet West London home for the family of four is transformed into an artful union that is warm, inviting and playfully beguiling.
The Studio began its design journey in the entrance hallway, noting that it “was a key part of the design scheme as it had generous proportions.” The overcast tone eases visiting guests in with Nobilis wallpaper, custom-made with a seamless fit to the staircase walls.

The original Art Deco balustrades complement with a renewed dark grey coat, while the contrasting French bannister sculpture and chandelier by Glustin Luminaires, and ebonised bench give character upon first impression.
Beyond the entrance hall is the start of the myriad of colours to come as the Studio modernises the space with a vibrant colour palette that alternates between thematic, opulent wallpapers, and the owner’s contemporary art collection.
