Knightsbridge: Transforming a Luxury Flat into a Modern Masterpiece

At Reworks London, we pride ourselves on crafting bespoke interiors that combine timeless elegance with modern functionality. The Knightsbridge luxury apartments is a testament to this commitment, showcasing meticulous attention to detail and innovative design solutions in a compact yet luxurious Luxury residential space.

Project Overview

This refurbishment of a 180m² flat in the heart of Knightsbridge aimed to transform the space into a sanctuary of modern living while maintaining the understated sophistication that the area is renowned for. Each element was carefully planned and executed, ensuring the flat exudes luxury while meeting the practical needs of its residents.

Design Highlights

Ante Room: A Sophisticated Entrance

The Ante Room was designed to make a striking first impression. Featuring bespoke wall panelling in walnut veneer and integrated storage, the space balances functionality and elegance. A curved modular sofa, upholstered in neutral-toned bouclé, anchors the room, while a statement abstract art piece and recessed LED lighting create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Family Lounge: A Space for Connection

The Family Lounge is the heart of the flat, offering a welcoming yet stylish environment. Full-height bookshelves, crafted from espresso wood with tempered glass accents, provide ample storage and display options. An L-shaped linen sofa and a two-tier coffee table with a wood-and-glass combination complete the space. The lighting design, a blend of recessed fixtures and sculptural pendants, enhances the room’s ambience.

Her Closet: Elegance Meets Functionality

Her Closet is a bespoke sanctuary, featuring soft-closing cabinetry in champagne tones and brushed brass accents. Illuminated shelving highlights luxury items, while a marble-topped central island provides functional storage. Customisable hanging spaces and mirrored panels ensure every inch of this space is both practical and luxurious.

His Closet: Masculine and Modern

Designed with clean lines and efficient storage, His Closet features dark espresso wood finishes, bronze accents, and a central leather-upholstered bench. Modular compartments and integrated lighting create a sleek yet highly functional space tailored to the resident’s needs.

Dining Room: Subtle Opulence

The dining area features a custom marble-topped table with brass inlays, surrounded by velvet-upholstered chairs in neutral tones. Overhead, a cascading sculptural chandelier serves as the room’s centrepiece, creating a sense of refined elegance. Decorative plaster panels and a hand-knotted wool rug complete the design, adding texture and warmth.

Master Bedroom: A Tranquil Retreat

The Master Bedroom was designed as a serene escape, featuring a platform bed with an upholstered leather headboard and matching bedside tables with integrated lighting. Textured wood wall panels add warmth, while floor-to-ceiling drapes soften the natural light. Recessed and table lighting offer versatility, making the room perfect for both relaxation and productivity.

Challenges and Solutions

Optimising Space in a Compact Layout

One of the main challenges was maximising functionality without compromising on luxury in the flat’s limited footprint. By incorporating modular storage systems and integrated solutions, we ensured every square metre was used effectively.

Balancing Aesthetic and Practicality

The bespoke designs required careful planning to achieve a balance between visual appeal and usability. From the champagne-finished cabinetry to the marble-topped dining table, every detail was selected to align with the client’s vision while offering practicality.
