After years without outdoor space \u2013 including lockdown in a small flat in Holloway Road, N7 \u2013 green space was \u2018essential\u2019. Filling in a koi pond swallowed much of the landscaping budget, but the result, designed with the help of garden designer Lisa Collins, feels surprisingly lush, even in winter, with a zone for lounging and soaking. \u2018Jumping off the Eurostar and getting straight into the hot tub is true luxury to me,\u2019 explains Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Back inside, the bedroom is enveloped by grandeur. An oversized Murano glass chandelier hangs overhead and Fromental\u2019s \u2018Wilde Dreams\u2019 silk wallcovering lines the walls. \u2018It was a big investment,\u2019 recalls Harris. \u2018But it\u2019s as if the room is wearing a beautiful vintage jacket.\u2019 The classical design has been personalised with motifs of swallows and bees, inspired by Eitan\u2019s tattoos, which flit among the foliage.<\/p>\n<p>The curtained wardrobe alcove is surprisingly small for someone who designs and collects fashion. Its tiny proportions were almost enough of an issue to derail the purchase of the flat. Instead, Harris has had to adopt the pragmatic approach of tightly editing his clothing. \u2018Everything I own lives here,\u2019 he says, pulling back the curtain and climbing onto a stool to grab some silk pyjamas. \u2018There\u2019s no storage unit. It\u2019s all in this closet.\u2019 Occasionally, its packed rails collapse in the early hours: \u2018It keeps life interesting!\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Harris Reeds stylish west London flat is as theatrical as his designs for fashion and furnishings blue bedroom interiors...\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/7.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A \u2018Cleo\u2019 Murano glass chandelier by Bottega Veneziana provides a colourful focal point in this cosy, inviting haven, with custom bed linen by Stamperia Bertozzi and \u2018Wilde Dreams\u2019 silk moir\u00e9 wallcovering by Harris for Fromental.<\/p>\n<p>Dean Hearne<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019s high-octane life beyond these walls is anything but dull. In 2022, at just 26 years old, he became creative director of Parisian fashion house Nina Ricci, fulfilling a dream he had nurtured since childhood: \u2018I painted an Eiffel Tower on my wall when I was 13. So when it happened, it felt wild.\u2019 His work now constantly takes him between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houseandgarden.co.uk\/article\/things-to-do-in-london\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">London<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houseandgarden.co.uk\/article\/best-things-to-do-in-paris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Paris<\/a> and LA. \u2018This is my sanctuary. It is where I reconnect with what\u2019s most important.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The flat was also the starting point for Harris\u2019s growing engagement with interiors. His collaboration with Fromental began here and has evolved into a collection of sumptuous wallcoverings, cushions and throws. He\u2019s toying with the idea of designing furniture and lighting. \u2018I love creating things that last; I\u2019m only scraping the surface.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Harris Reeds stylish west London flat is as theatrical as his designs for fashion and furnishings  red and green...\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772287226_873_3.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Incarnadine\u2019 by Farrow &amp; Ball, used for the ceiling, bath panelling and mirror, creates a smart contrast with a Nina Campbell striped wallpaper.<\/p>\n<p>Dean Hearne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We step into the garden, which the designer uses year round. \u2018It\u2019s actually bigger than the apartment,\u2019 he&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":794865,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,12389,2737,87365,217079,393,97052,4884,91012,121513,257,87364,87366,163189,16,15],"class_list":["post-794864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-london","tag-britain","tag-celebrity-homes","tag-city","tag-city-houses","tag-contemporary-city","tag-england","tag-flats","tag-great-britain","tag-houses-belonging-to-interesting-people","tag-houses-packed-with-colour","tag-london","tag-london-houses","tag-modern-houses","tag-small-houses","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116148622370090541","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=794864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/794865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=794864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=794864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=794864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
