Oscar & Camille — Battersea Power Station
Location: Battersea Power Station, London
Apartment: 899 sq ft, 2 bedroom apartment by Frank Gehry
Mission: Create a comfortable modern home that feels calm, social and uncluttered without sacrificing personality.
Oscar works in FinTech and spends his weekdays moving between meetings, numbers and screens. Camille works from home and wanted somewhere that felt more like a home than an office with a bed attached.
When they moved into their Battersea apartment, the appeal was immediate.
Morning coffee downstairs. Restaurants within walking distance. Weekend shopping. The river on the doorstep. The energy of the Power Station development itself.
The challenge wasn't location.
It was making a relatively compact apartment feel warm and personal without filling every wall and corner with furniture.
At just under 900 sq ft, every piece needed to earn its place.
The Living Space
The reception room is long rather than wide, so maintaining visual openness mattered more than adding more furniture.
Instead of heavy pieces competing for space, the focus became:
✓ clean lines
✓ warmer materials
✓ lower furniture profiles
✓ texture over clutter
The TV wall in particular needed something substantial enough to anchor the room without making it feel smaller.
For this space we introduced:
Lunde TV Unit
Raised legs keep the floor visible beneath, helping the room feel lighter, while the natural timber finish adds warmth against the cleaner architecture of the apartment.
Rather than fighting the contemporary setting, it softens it.
Alongside it sits:
Tierra Wall Art
The warmer earthy tones introduce depth and personality while linking back to the timber furniture and softer neutral palette throughout the room.
Together they stop the room becoming what many modern apartments accidentally become:
"beautiful architecture with nowhere for your eyes to settle."
Small Changes, Bigger Impact
The biggest difference wasn't adding more things.
It was adding the right things.
A softer olive accent. Natural textures. A sculptural object. A coffee table that keeps visual weight low.
The result is a room that feels lived in rather than staged.
Space Agent Notes
Mission outcome: Successful
Oscar and Camille kept what they loved about Battersea:
- modern architecture
- light-filled spaces
- clean design
- city lifestyle convenience
But gained:
- warmer atmosphere
- practical storage
- more visual balance

Good furniture doesn't always mean adding more.
Sometimes it's simply helping the space do more.
