Be inspired by this restored Georgian apartment

A series of mini art displays have been created by hanging tiny photos and pictures clipped onto string with miniature pegs. To get the look, head to HobbyCraft for different types of string and pegs, and try hanging anything from old postcards and photos to travelling memorabilia.

The layout of the house features bedrooms on the ground floor, while the light-filled living room is on the first floor, along with the kitchen and dining areas.

The sofas are by Edra. The chandeliers are from an antiques shop on Portobello Road. The Bertoia chair is from Knoll. The Shanghai Tip coffee table is from The Conran Shop. 

In the kitchen functional custom-made units and stainless-steel surfaces, allow original details, such as the cornice and shuttered windows, to shine.

The units are designed by Works Architecture and made by Andrew Edwards. John Lewis stocks stainless steel worktops. The stools are by BD Ediciones supplied by Hemsley Associates.

The owners have zigzagged five floating shelves across the wall. This gives the illusion of more space.

The floating shelves were made by Gerry Delaney. Try the Lack shelving range at Ikea for a budget yet stylish option.

The biggest change made by the owners was the addition of a staircase to the back of the building, linking the three floors of the apartment and leaving the original staircase as access to the flats upstairs.

Rather than create a separate room, the owners 'dropped' the bathroom into a slot in the main bedroom preserving the curved Georgian wall.

The pod was designed by Works Architecture and made by DFA Projects. The sanitaryware is by Catalano from CP Hart. The tiles are by Ceramic Tile Distributors. The shower curtain is from Habitat. The light is by Jasper Conran.

The white MDF board behind the bed works as a room divider, separating off the bathroom 'pod' from the rest of the bedroom.

The wardbrobe was made by Gerry Delaney, but B&Q does similar plain white-door ones. The chandelier is from an antiques shop.

The children's room is filled with a collection of vintage-style furniture and accessories.

The bed is from Ikea. The chest of drawers is from a second-hand shop in Chiswick. The side table is from Selfridges.

Bold colour and modern design dominate this pretty home office area.

The Rain side table at Ikea is similar to this. Bluestone matt emulsion by Sanderson is a good colour match for the wall.
