    Belgravia Beauty …

    A new chapter begins for a period town house courtesy of Janine Stone & Co.  Blue-blooded rooms with layered and alluring comforts.  “This house says it is easy to live with beautiful things”.  Janine Stone

    The interiors are infused with a subtle glamour, rich jewel hues, sumptuous textures and keenly observed detailing combine with handsome cabinetry and an artists’ eye curate of the artwork and antiquity throughout this gracious six-storey residence situated in the heart of Belgravia, London.

    Janine has created truly elegant and harmonious spaces from what was a narrow and challenging foot-print.  Some internal walls were realigned and the spaces have been thoughtfully reimagined to bring a fresh vitality and energy; creating an elegant and sophisticated but highly liveable home for a young international family.
