Hiking up five flights of stairs on a daily basis isn’t easy – particularly so in the case of the very pregnant Danae Schofield. However it’s a small price to pay in exchange for a spacious walk-up with a view, located steps away from the buzzing seafront restaurants and bars that define Kennedy Town.

It’s the first apartment Danae and her husband saw when they arrived in the city in 2012, and they instantly fell in love with the place and the authenticity of this burgeoning neighbourhood.

The pair has personalized their rental with artworks acquired during their travels abroad, as well as personal photographs and mementos. My husband and I like to buy art when we’re travelling. That way, we have a souvenir of our experience, plus a diverse collection, says Danae.

Bedroom’s rustic furnishings and soft touches, along with wedding photos of the beautiful couple, evoke a sense of intimacy and romance. The home’s colour scheme also resolves around their art collection. I’m a big fan of grey as a base colour, I created the palette around the artworks we have, she says.
