Boscombe Road

An uplifting five-bedroom home in Shepherd's Bush. Masterminded by Vada Collective, this light-filled retreat is a treasure trove of considered design details.

Set on a leafy residential road in Shepherd’s Bush, this five-bedroom home makes a colourful first impression. Behind a pink-toned door, three floors of considered living space are executed with precision, courtesy of design studio Vada Collective.

A sweeping open-plan layout characterises the ground floor. A bay window floods the reception room with light, illuminating decorative cornicing and an ornate fireplace. Furnishings are stylish yet understated, highlighting the gilded chandeliers, prints and artwork thoughtfully placed throughout. Adjacent, full-height teal-toned joinery backdrops a glossy black grand piano.

Dark wood floors continue into the kitchen and dining area, brightly illuminated through a wall of full-height Crittall glazing and generous lantern skylights. Grounding the kitchen is a large Carrara marble island, while white panelled cabinets and a large range oven are accentuated with gold handles. Eight dusty-rose chairs sit around the wooden dining table; a modish setting for entertaining. Beyond, the garden is immaculately presented across a patio and lawn. Timber fences create a sense of privacy, with seating and dining areas enlivened by dramatic Cyprus trees.

Spread over the two upper floors, each bedroom has been finished with an exceptional eye for detail and timeless interior design. The principal bedroom sprawls across the first floor, with whitewashed walls setting a calming scene for a super-king-size four-poster bed, freestanding bath and marble fireplace. Hardwood flooring flows into a dedicated dressing area with built-in wardrobes and a television. A marble-wrapped en suite can be seen through steel-framed floor-to-ceiling glass, where a shower and dual vanity are wrapped in oversized marble tiles.

Also on the first floor, a guest bedroom suite features wooden parquet floors and a sculptural fireplace, while its bathroom showcases a freestanding tub alongside a reclaimed copper radiator. An additional guest bedroom suite takes a moodier turn with dark walls and a matching bathroom, complete with an inky freestanding tub. Elsewhere, two children’s rooms — one a single, one with a bunk bed — are served by a family bathroom.
