With more than 380,000 followers on Instagram, it’s safe to say that fashion blogger Nina Suess is a successful influencer. Hailing from Germany, she has chosen London – more specifically, a beautiful residential street in Kensington, surrounded by an up-and-coming area currently under redevelopment – as the setting for her busy life.
And, as with her entrepreneurial job, Nina has invested a lot of time and effort into achieving her dream home. ‘I think I must have looked at more than 300 places in all, over a time period of almost two years,’ she says. ‘I wanted to find something that had potential, but that can be difficult with old English architecture.’
What immediately convinced Nina about this apartment was its size: ‘There were too many rooms, but I was able to see what we could make out of it,’ she explains. Once she had settled on the flat, Nina needed some help to transform its interior, so she called on Theresa Obermoser [far right, with Nina], founder of TO Interior Design, to take on the task. ‘I had always dreamed of a big open living room and that’s exactly what we did,’ says Nina.
