Tucked away in leafy Fulham, this family home is a sensorial stay with eclectic design and a focus on colour and art. Picture yourself in the kitchen, arranging your mise en place as the little ones let off some steam in the playroom. After a tasty lunch, retire to the sitting room with a cup of tea and a novel selected from the bookcase. If the weather’s nice, pull up a chair at the bistro set in the garden or throw open the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and let a gentle breeze drift through the abode.

In the late afternoon, get to know your locale. A ten-minute stroll places you at Fulham Road, where you’ll find a smattering of shops, eateries and watering holes. Catch the tube from Putney Bridge station, a fifteen-minute walk away, to Soho for cultural hotspots, including Regent Street, Covent Garden and the dazzling West End. And when it’s time to call it a day, head back home for a wholesome evening with your loved ones.
