Golden Generation

Golden Generation: Madrid

There's a real mix of influences in the design of this apartment in the Castellana neighbourhood of Madrid and they work together to make for an address that's completely unique.

The wooden furnishings and muted colour palette are inescapably Scandi in style, while the impressive house plant collection and woven decorations bring some boho charm to the interior. In contrast, the minimalist kitchen and travertine-tiled bathrooms are as contemporary as you could wish for.

Although the home is a lovely space in which to hang out, it's also in an excellent location that makes it easy to see the Spanish capital on foot. The Golden Mile's elegant shops and restaurants can be reached in under a quarter of an hour's walk, as can the National Archaeological Museum and Sorolla Museum.

Home truths:
*The apartment is spread across a single level and there's an elevator in the building
*There's no private parking available, but Rubén Darío underground station is only nine minutes' walk away
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
*Because of the location, some city noise should be expected – light sleepers might want to bring earplugs just in case
