SMOKE & MIRRORS
Paddington
WITH A WALK-THROUGH WARDROBE at its entrance, it was only natural that interior designer Megan Brown took sartorially inclined cues when creating this handsomely textural ensuite. “The connection with the master bedroom is wonderful. The way you walk from the bedroom through a rich and luxurious robe into this beautiful space is magic and feels so special. The wall lights are truly exquisite, particularly in combination with the honed marble, ribbed glass and oak door. The irregular glazed surface of the handmade tiles glistens and glows and is pure pleasure. In this incredible harbourside home we have created a private sanctuary that balances raw, organic simplicity with sensual, elegant re nement. It feels as though you are stepping into an oasis of calm.” What luxury item did you choose for this bathroom regardless of budget? “The most luxurious element is the very romantic, jewel-like pair of sconces by New York design studio Apparatus. Handcrafted using agate, brass and leather, they somehow feel suspended in time and add that element of mystique and otherworldliness.” penmanbrown.com
