Be inspired by this classic Edwardian apartment

An original stained-glass window provides the room with colour that changes throughout the day. Relaxed seating upholstered in crisp white linen sit elegantly next to a variety of wood finishes.

2/9 Living room fireplace

Against the neutral background, classical pieces, such as intricate wall plaques and sculptural vases, stand out to stunning effect.

Farrow & Ball paints were used throughout the living room.

3/9 Kitchen

The kitchen is simple yet functional. The lack of wall units mean this small space remains uncluttered. The warm wood creates contrast to the glossy white surfaces.

The drawers under the hob were from IKEA.

4/9 Kitchen-diner

Not a conventional hallway, this space acts as a thoroughfare from the kitchen to the dining room. The white palette with flashes of warm wood keep the rooms united. The floor has been covered with inexpensive plywood panels and painted in the same colour as the walls.

5/9 Kitchen pantry

Next to the stairs is a hinged floor-to-ceiling unit with intergrated shelves inside and in the door. When closed, it's impossible to see what it is. Open, it acts as a room divider to hide the kitchen from the dining room.

6/9 Dining room

Against a neutral background a metal dining table takes centre stage in this dining room. The black regency-style dining chairs contrast with the modernism of the table. The abstract red painting and lampshade add a shot of colour.

7/9 Bedroom

Originally four rooms, the owner knocked down walls and opened the ceiling to the attic, exposing a metal beam, which adds a raw element to the look. Because ceiling joists had been removed between the bedroom and bathroom, something was needed to give support to the walls, hence the partition wall with big glass panels.

8/9 Bathroom

The same tones used in the bedroom have been carried through to the bathroom. The basin has vertical lights on either side, hidden behind frosted glass. The loo is conceled by a linen drape.

The mounted sink was from Villery & Boch. 

9/9 En suite

The central tap and shower have become a real feature in this bathroom. For privacy and to avoid a fussy look, the owner covered the windows in white perspex panels.
