Description Fashion House: Milano

Standing outside the period building in central Milan that this apartment sits within, you might imagine the home's interior to be similarly imbued with heritage. However, that's not the case.

Head behind the front door and you'll find a modern interior, rich with bold colours and contemporary fittings. The woven beanbag chairs in the living room are perfectly quirky, as is the arching light fixture in the dining area. The kitchen is on the simpler side, but we're willing to forgive that due to the sleek turquoise finish and complementary grey splashback.

The address benefits from a private balcony so you can make the most of bursts of sunny weather without leaving the home. When you want to see a little more of Milan, Chinatown sits quite literally on your doorstep and Sempione Park takes less than ten minutes to reach on foot.

Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to reach this apartment on the third floor
*The building has no private parking space, but Monumentale and Gerusalemme subway stations are both eleven minutes' walk away
*A design-conscious courtesy bowl and mattress set is provided for your furry friends
*Since the original photoshoot, a daybed has been added in the TV room, as shown
