THE PROPERTY

A period two-bedroom apartment that has evolved over the six years that Amelia has owned it. ‘I never had a plan for the decor when I moved in,’ she says. ‘I did know, though, that I wanted the bedroom to have that hotel feeling so I tore down a wall to make two smaller rooms into a larger one.’ Amelia travels a lot and her home has been influenced by time spent in Morocco, New York and France, and is a mix of glamour and boho style. ‘I love my velvet furniture, all my arched windows, my blue bedroom walls, my photographs and my beautiful kitchen floor.’
