A Sunlit Waterside Luxury Apartment in Wembley

New Grand Union Luxury Apartments: ‘Abode’ Designed Luxury Showhomes

At Grand Union’s Peninsula House in Wembley we are were delighted to unveil our latest showhome.

Furnished by award winning interior designers Abode, the home features a light, natural style. Named The Capri, the design of the two-bedroom home has been inspired by the idyllic charm of its Italian island namesake. 

Luxury, Calm Aesthetic

This Wembley based apartment embodies luxurious serenity with a confident, soothing palette of morning buttery yellows, soft blues and whipped pistachio set against warm neutrals. Recurring wave-patterns and organic forms bring a sense of fun to the space – reminiscent of a summer holiday.

The aesthetic is enhanced by views across the Grand Union Canal, as well as Grand Union’s resort-style lifestyle where a plethora of generous green spaces and amenities feel akin to those in a premium destination. 

The design represents Abode’s ethos of creating unique and memorable interiors with environmental consciousness at their core. The result is a home that mirrors Grand Union itself. It is a perfect balance of waterside calm and city sophistication.

Step Inside ‘The Capri’ Showhome

From the moment you step into the hallway of our luxury apartment, the signature wave-style wallpaper and marble-topped console topped with quirky accessories set the vibe.

In the living area, a bespoke butter-yellow media unit anchors the room with a welcoming glow. Basking in its ambience is a statement cream sofa juxtaposed by a soft blue armchair with contrast piping. Adding to the fun are a checkerboard rug, oversized floor lamp and lashings of unique artwork pieces by an international roster of artists.  Inspired by their adventures across the globe, each piece has been chosen to bring colour, texture and intrigue to the space. 

The kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly from the living room, featuring a subtle glass splashback that complements the pistachio colour palette – echoed in the bathroom – while a round dining table with scalloped chairs creates a relaxed setting which is perfect for starting the day in the right frame of mind.

Open wood shelving is set alongside ceramic earthenware and locally sourced styling pieces. The overall effect is airy, clean and energising - a space that feels stylish and refreshingly alive.

Your Private Haven: Bedrooms and Bathrooms That Balance Style and Peace

The primary bedroom feels like a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of London. 

A fjord blue velvet headboard complements plaster-effect wallpaper with wooden beading detail, while marble-topped lamps add a touch of luxury. Sky blues, checked cushions and cream bedside and dressing tables bring soft tones, and bespoke artwork by local artists adds personality and charm. The room includes an en-suite for ultimate convenience. 
The design of the second bedroom is focused around a curved upholstered headboard set against green bamboo-style panelling. Waved mirrors and linen curtains add character, demonstrating how style and simplicity can coexist to create a welcoming, liveable luxury.

Throughout the home, natural motifs extend this sense of calm and refinement. In the bathrooms, layered green tiles, Rowse soaps, and subtle artwork combine to create a spa-like ambience, reinforcing the home’s restorative, retreat-like atmosphere.

Sustainable Living at Grand Union

Sustainability is central to the design of the home with bathrooms featuring products from Land & Water and Made Kind, while Meletius Coffee, a local coffee roaster, in the kitchen nods to the focus on community-first living. Real plants in the home replace artificial greenery, enhancing air quality and reinforcing the grounded, organic atmosphere that runs through the entire home.

Outdoor, balcony and terrace plantings by local specialists, Greenmantle, introduce Mediterranean-inspired greenery - including fragrant lemon trees and elegant olive trees - offering a private oasis for residents
