Highbury - Stylish and Cosy in a London Flat
About This Project
We were delighted to work on this project for Phoebe McDowell, the head of interiors at The Sunday Times Style magazine. Phoebe’s kitchen is the heart of her beautifully renovated London flat - compact but packed with style and clever storage. Traditional shaker cabinetry in a soft Cola finish pairs with White Tie walls and striking Rosso Levanto marble, creating a space that’s both cosy and sophisticated. Every inch works hard and the kitchen is beautifully framed with the custom floor-to-ceiling shelving and bespoke bar we designed for the Sitting Room.
The brief? A stylish, cosy kitchen that makes the most of a small footprint through smart storage solutions and a clever use of a tight colour scheme. Phoebe’s passion for hosting shaped every detail, from the Rosso Levanto marble to the curated joinery. The result is a colour-drenched space full of comfort and lived-in charm - practical, welcoming, and far from boring.
