"We shouldn’t be afraid of dark colours," says Ben Johnson of Albion Nord, and this three-bedroom flat in Chelsea Barracks, is a compelling testament to that assumption. "It is a myth that rich colours make a space feel smaller; in fact, deeper tones create an immediate sense of warmth and play beautifully with the light, transforming the mood as the day unfolds."
Aiming to create a sanctuary in the city, the team have tackled many interior design fears head-on, capturing a cosy, ‘lived-in’ feel within this elegant flat. By embracing darker tones in such an iconic London property, the studio has layered multiple eras and styles of furniture to create a sense of eclecticism—balancing antiques with contemporary pieces while paying homage to the building’s character.
