A calming white and grey colour palette sets the scene for this elegant open-plan apartment whose size and style are instantly striking. Located in Madrid’s hip Malasaña neighbourhood, there’s an effortless chicness to this space that feels wonderfully serene. French doors dressed in flowing white drapes create a wall of light on one side of the main living space, opening out onto Juliet balconies that just beg to be enjoyed with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. There’s a desk space here too (and a record player to get soirées off on the right beat) while on the opposite side, a stunning wood dining table framed by decorative feature beams beckons elegant meals. Factor in the sleek, modern kitchen and this room is all set to be the sociable hub of your stay. The master bedroom, meanwhile, is arty and chic with pared-back furnishings, beamed ceilings and a Juliet balcony to wake up to, while the second bedroom is equally charming with its muted palette and dark wood floors. When you’re not lounging in your luxe pad, go out and explore the surrounding sights. You’ve got plenty of vintage shops, coffee shops, bakeries and trendy bars on your front step while the Royal Palace of Madrid is a twenty-minute walk away.
