Linda Boronkay Reimagines Iconic Whiteley Suites in London
Interior decorator and design director, Linda is well known for her exceptional design work across hotels, restaurants and private residences worldwide. Drawing on her rich cultural background to define spaces that tell a unique story, her work at The Whiteley — London’s £1.2 billion transformation of the city’s former department store — is no exception. The landmark features private residences, the UK's first Six Senses hotel and choice restaurants and retailers.
In the second apartment of the esteemed Designer Collection's, Linda blends historical elegance with contemporary creativity to reflect The Whiteley’s legacy while embracing its reinvention. Further, the four-bedroom, fifth-floor apartment exemplifies the harmony of old-world charm and modern design.
She has infused the space with an eclectic yet sophisticated aesthetic that honours the building’s history through carefully curated furnishings and bespoke pieces, including works by renowned artists such as Laurence Leenaert and Richard Hearns. Its vibrant colours and distinctive art installations signal a fresh approach to luxury living.
Offering a first glance at the apartment's unique character is the carefully curated corridor, with its brass chain gallery wall. The residence’s open-plan living, kitchen and dining spaces are perfect for intimate gatherings and grand entertainment alike.
Meanwhile, each of the four bedrooms has been individually designed, while two expansive terraces provide a rare oasis in the heart of West London — with carefully selected furnishings from Sika and Franco Albini to enhance the al fresco experience.
This collaboration affirms Linda's ability to blend artistry with functionality, creating a home that is both sophisticated and deeply personal.
