St Stephen’s Mews W2

Design-led living with a twist. This two-bedroom mews home embraces a bold approach to colour.

Down a cobbled mews lane, a striking black exterior sits boldly between pastel-toned neighbours. Beyond its charcoal façade, lively tones lend an uplifting ambiance to the home’s three floors.

Inside, a vibrant yellow door sets the scene, opening to a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room. A canary coloured beam playfully distinguishes the kitchen, considerately configured in an L-shape to enhance the room’s sweeping spacious feel.  Sleek beige cabinetry and clean lines create a refined impression, while glistening white subway tiles bring a textural element.

Opposite, a trio of sash windows cast light across the dining and reception area, complete with bespoke alcoves for displaying books or art. Nestled into the wall next to the kitchen, shelving sits above a warm wooden worktop, creating a cosy space to work or study.

Across the first floor – an echo of the home’s striking exterior plays out in the principal bedroom suite. An interplay of charcoal tones and channels of light, sash windows and skylights bring a glossy sheen to black walls and floorboards. A wall of fitted storage melds seamlessly into the room, while a pristine white ceiling offers an eye-catching counter to the moody hue. White tiles wrap around the en suite shower room, complete with a bright yellow vanity.

Sunlit steps guide the way to the second floor, where a pared-back palette creates calm in the guest bedroom suite. Sleek storage is dispersed through the space, illuminated by soothing natural light. Patterned flooring brings an uplifting feel to the en suite bathroom, fitted with a rainfall shower and bathtub.  

From the third floor, bright stairs lead to a generous decked terrace spanning the width of the home. Integrated bench seating provides a peaceful spot to admire views across Notting Hill and beyond.
