Get the look of Brandon Schubert's refined, elegant north London flat

While house hunting for his next project, Brandon Schubert serendipitously came across a flat on the same road, and with the same layout as his old one (which featured in House & Garden in 2021). It was a chance to do certain things differently and improve the elements that had been niggling at him; ‘I’d have added more detail, decorative finishes, made more lovely curtains. I’d have furnished it better, been more adventurous, paid more attention to the lighting, and so on’ as he puts it. The result is a richly textured space that layers the traditional with the modern, managing to be at once formal and relaxed. Shop the furniture and accessories from the flat below, along with some highly covetable high street lookalikes.

‘On your right as you come in, is a formal sitting room, its large bay window shielded from the street by a dark green yew hedge. As in our last flat, I thought this room should feel rooted in history rather than newly created. I lined the walls in chocolate brown linen, which I hoped would lend a sophisticated but moody feel and chose classic furniture, with a few unexpected twists like the contemporary blue shelving unit.’

‘I retained the kitchen layout from our previous flat, since I couldn’t think of a way to improve it. But this time I designed a more modern flat-fronted cabinet, with a walnut finger pull along each door edge. Another reclaimed fire surround anchors the room. As in the front sitting room, I chose an Art Deco style cornice, which feels substantial and proportional, without overdoing the nostalgia.’

‘I chose fabrics and designed furniture for this room to feel a bit more contemporary, while still being warm and inviting. We use this sitting room all the time when it’s just the two of us. Looking out to the garden and trees beyond, it feels so far away from the noisy streets of London.’

‘The painted ceiling beams in this room echo those in the oak-ceilinged sitting room next door. A mushroom-brown hand-printed linen from Namay Samay covers the walls. From our bed we look out at trees and sky. It is really the most peaceful place to slowly wake up on the weekends.’
