Shades of grey create a real sense of sophistication and surprising warmth in this living room. Layered cushions, a large window, abstract painting and textured rug make sure the space remains cosy but light.

Relaxed black living room
To lift the darkness of the grey, the adjoining walls have been painted cream for a softening effect. The fireplace and shutters add a traditional touch that help to accentuate the original features in the room.
The floor lamp was from Artemide, and the Love cushion and throw were from Brown Thomas.

Modern dining room with extensive storage
In this kitchen-diner, which is at the other end of the main living room, the feature wall floor-to-ceiling bookcases are a stunning addition, and act as a screen keeping an adjoining guest room separate. Black is the overriding colour here, with gloss surfaces and a glass pendant light bringing another dimension to the look.
The table and chairs were from Sovet, and the bookcase was from Tisettanta.

Compact kitchen
Although small, the kitchen is ideal for the owner and her daughter's needs. Appliances and storage are hidden away in units - one houses the fridge, freezer, oven and microwave behind sliding dark oak-stained doors, and on the other side of the room is a unit with the sink, dishwasher and hob.

Pared down living room
This secondary living room has a serene feel thanks to the cool neutral colours. There is still a consistency with the rest of the house as softer tones of grey have been used for the sofas and rug.

Slate grey dining room
Still following the theme of grey throughout the house, this dining room, at the other end of the second living room, has been painted a slightly lighter shade. A black gloss dining table is a stunning focal point, while the traditional-style marble fireplace is a contrast to the modernism of the rest of the room.
The dining table was from Sovet, and the sideboard was from Casa Milano.

Modern home office
In the corner of the dining room is a small home office, complete with modern storage and slimline desk. Coolers colours allow the black gloss desk to become a feature, while the off-white bookcase is highlighted by black curtains behind.
The desks and shelving were from MDF Italia.

Simple bedroom
High-gloss wardrobes and rubber flooring add interest to this neutral bedroom, as well as helping to open up the space and keep it light. A no-fuss bed gives the room a minimal feel, and all storage remains tucked away behind the sliding doors.
The wardrobes were from Tisettanta, and the rubber flooring from Dalsouple.
