London-based interior designer Tala Fustok was tapped to help design a four-bedroom space on the fourth floor of a Victorian mansion dubbed the Palace Gate apartment. It is right in the city's Hyde Park in the Kensington and Chelsea borough. The theme is to channel a relaxed element with a 'calm sanctuary feeling as soon as one enters the space.
Tala Fustok talks about the inspiration to Dezeen, stating "I wanted to create a calm sanctuary to balance the hustle and bustle of the city and the owner's lifestyle. Our client is an ardent traveller, frequenting North Africa and copious European cities. We wanted to ensure this was reflected in the design, as a sort of escapism and bringing a dose or reminder of those settings to their London home."
