Look! London Flat in Love Actually

A friend of ours has been on the hunt for a similar sofa to the one in Liam Neeson's flat in the feel-good holiday movie, Love Actually. After taking a closer look at the sofa, we began to notice the whole flat: it's chockfull of art, books, and quirky modern pieces that manages to fuse an architect's sense of modern style with cool kid-friendly touches. More photos after the jump!

Entryway with multiple art on one wall and a large framed kid's drawing grouped with a dainty portrait and black and white photographs.

Entryway with art grouped together on different walls and a huge mirrored vintage Laundrette sign.

Wall of books with a metal spring chair in the corner.

Super sleek stainless kitchen...with Frosted Flakes and a glass cylinder of lemons.

I bet that Navy Plaid sofa becomes fashionable...
...so much better than the current "Taupe Microfiber" trend.

I have the Crate and Barrel Cannes sofa. It's a bench style with loose cushions and is the most comfortable couch I've ever had. It looks really nice, much more relaxed than in the C&B photos and is great with throw pillows. Very similar to the reference pic. I normally like very clean-lined sofas, and this one is a good mix of comfort and overall simple lines.

Not sure if they still have it in the smaller size (88 inch) but here's the giant one...

I have been in love with this sofa and apartment since I first saw the movie years ago. Glad someone else finally finds the place interesting and fun.

Love Actually is my FAVORITE all time movie! And I immediately noticed how beautiful the flat was. I love all the pictures hanging on the walls.

I love the flat and the movie if I lived in London I would have a flat like that. I got my Launderette sign from Signs for Homes they are much cheaper.
