Mellow Yellow by Holland Park, by Veeve

A charmingly cheerful aesthetic makes this homely pad perfect for those seeking to explore the unrivalled neighbourhoods of Notting Hill and Kensington. With the landscaped beauty of Holland Park just minutes away and a dreamily easy stroll to the likes of Kensington Palace and Portobello Market, the world is your (rather glamorous) oyster — and this cosy garden apartment is the pearl.

Crisp, white interiors and large glass doors ensure that even on the basement floor, there's no shortage of light — helped immeasurably in the summer months by having said doors thrown open, with the option of relaxing on the patio (glass of vino in hand, naturally). Inside, a rustic-style table and buttercup accents blend a little cottage-like warmth with the clean lines and understated design of a modern kitchen. You'll have plenty of space to cook, with chairs to spare, and the added bonus of a TV for those chilled nights in. The bedroom is like a pastel sweet, its bright colours announcing a delightful taste, whilst the bathroom is a rather cool combo of sleek aesthetic and vintage charm.
