PROPERTY
A one bedroom London flat and modern home (opens in new tab) with a study, living room, kitchen and outdoor terrace, all designed by Studio Peake (opens in new tab).
KITCHEN
The on-trend blue kitchen (opens in new tab) opens out to a stylish outdoor terrace (opens in new tab) via chic Crittall-style doors (opens in new tab). A marble splash back behind the hob complements the marble-topped kitchen island (opens in new tab), while the industrial-inspired brass kitchen taps (opens in new tab) add to an overall cool, on-trend look. The kitchen island pendants are kept simple, sculptural and white.
Against the Crittall extension (opens in new tab) is a home bar area (opens in new tab).
STUDY
A multi-functional home office doubles up as a stylish linen room with built-in storage. The bespoke built-in cupboards also feature bookshelves for displaying the owners' book collection.
The upholstered pinboard-come-artwork is made bespoke by Studio Peake.
Behind the desk is stylish built-in storage designed by Studio Peake, perfect for storing fabric collections and bed linen. The window looks out onto the courtyard garden and the living room at the other side.
LIVING ROOM
In the living room, painted lights from IKEA act as downlighters, illuminating the bookshelves that frame the TV. The corner sofa (opens in new tab) creates a cosy nook, while a throw was framed and mounted on the wall to create a striking focal point.
The exposed brick wall was painted in several coats of white to create a sense of calm, while keeping the brick's textural appearance.A small curation of artworks on the left are aranged in gallery wall format, but are spread out to avoid the wall looking cluttered.
MASTER BEDROOM
Joinery in the master bedroom is created in the same style as in the study and the kitchen, with pre-grooved MDF boards. The top of the built-in wardrobes offers space for displaying personal collections.
A rattan dressing table in the bay window creates a calm space to get ready in the mornings.
The headboard was made bespoke.
BATHROOM
Gorgeous gloss tiles and a large marble vanity help to create a polished look, while the lampshades and vase of flowers add a pop of necessary colour.
