Marigold Mews, by Veeve

Although petal prints and floral tones add to the cosy aesthetic of this two-bedroom home, it's certainly no wallflower — with flashes of bold colour and elements of sleek, modern design. Tucked away on a sequestered mews it really lays on the Victorian charm, with its quaint cobbles and cast iron lanterns. And whilst we love the welcome respite this offers, easy access to well-connected Earl's Court station and the myriad attractions of South Kensington means you've got the best of the city on your doorstep.

Along with all the trappings of a typical London mews house, there's oodles of warmth and character here too. The living room really leans into its Britishness, boasting all the classic little touches you'd expect — from sash windows, to floral prints, and pastel tones. Pared-back design and modern notes ensure this home stays well away from twee, whilst remaining delightfully cosy. The kitchen offers a snug but sleek space, along with a table and benches — ideal for a hearty breakfast or a home-cooked meal. The two bedrooms pair inviting interiors with comfy double beds, although we'd be lying if we said we didn't feel a slight preference for the principal bedroom, with its enviable ensuite and cheerfully warm palette.

We love...
The bright accents of amber Venetian plaster in the kitchen and Moroccan sands in the bedroom are what make this little gem of a home stand out. We're also fans of the location, just moments from the buzz of Earls Court, with its plethora of eateries and entertainments, and not far from the famously glamorous neighbourhoods of Kensington and Chelsea. With so much to explore, it won't be long before you're feeling like a local!
