1 bed flat to rent

Redcliffe Gardens, London SW10

Olive tones, bespoke design and graphic moments of colour set the mood at this Chelsea apartment – a one-bedroom home that feels curated rather than conventional. Interior design by Margaux Gardet is seventies-inspired in warmth, while a heritage framework enhances the sense of space.

Positioned on the second floor, the reception room welcomes with a wash of soft green, gently lit by broad original windows. Proportions are generous, with tall cornice-lined walls enhancing the sense of space. A slatted wood partition is part architectural feature, part practical intervention – integrating media and defining the kitchen beyond without interrupting flow. Here, dark honed-stone worktops meet bespoke wood cabinetry; integrated appliances keep the aesthetic streamlined.

Colour sharpens through the hallway – a saturated red that signals a shift in tone. The bathroom follows with confidence: Botanical Sandberg wallpaper, checkerboard tiles, a re-purposed vintage vanity and a walk-in shower. The bedroom is calmer in feel, washed in blue-grey with generous glazing and clean sightlines. Floor-to-ceiling integrated wardrobes ensure storage space is catered to.

Characterised by leafy streets with rows of period homes, Chelsea is a peaceful residential area with a central London postcode. On your doorstep, Brompton Cemetery is one of the capital’s seven historic burial grounds, with tree-lined avenues and heritage architecture to explore. Venture to the King’s Road for retail therapy, before a stroll along the Embankment. South Kensington’s plethora of museums are nearby for world-class exhibitions. Spend an evening at Evans & Peel, one of London’s only speakeasy bars, or catch live music at the Troubadour.
