House Tour : Luxe Contemporary European apartment design by Olga Ashby with 5-star hotel vibe

The story behind the design of this home began in the bar of a luxury hotel.

“The client took me to one of their favourite hotels for a drink to show me what they expected to see in the apartment,” says Olga Ashby, an established interior designer to the well-heeled in London, “It was clear from the beginning that the look they wanted was for a really sophisticated and classy setting with a 5-star hotel vibe. Now that really helped the design team to hone in on what the home should look like.”
