The Kensington Apartment Renovation

Elegant refurbishment of a period apartment in South Kensington, London

This refined apartment renovation in a listed South Kensington townhouse combines classical detailing with contemporary sensibility. Polysmiths was commissioned to reimagine the home’s layout and interior identity, enhancing spatial flow, light, and character.

Original features were restored where possible, while bold new insertions, including a sculptural staircase and custom joinery, create dramatic moments throughout. The interiors pair a muted palette with rich textures and crafted materials, balancing calm minimalism with layered warmth.

Bespoke lighting, tailored storage, and careful zoning elevate this apartment into a quietly luxurious, highly functional city home.
