Discover Iva’s small but stylish purpose-built apartment

A simple white side table with shelf is perfect for smaller spaces and can be used for a table lamp and framed photos. Mix and match patterned cushions in different textiles, like Iva has on her sofa, to create a relaxed chill-out zone.

Iva found some of her furniture, including this white sideboard, from Preloved and Freecycle and has used it to show off a fabulous vintage-style mirror and her favourite necklaces on a cute jewellery tree.

A clear-based lamp keeps the look light. Create a pretty, eclectic display by mixing vintage finds with new buys, such as a scroll-effect photo frame and sweet bird decorations.

A white kitchen with black worktops creates a fresh, modern look. The pale-grey wall ties fit in with the rest of Iva’s colour scheme and create a contrast. A mix of quirky storage tins and the Home sign brighten up the room and add a touch a character.

Iva loves her boutique-style bedroom and has used the same pale-grey tones in here as the rest of the house. She has added some texture to her bed with a collection of silk and faux fur cushions, which match the pretty floral bedlinen.

Matching white bedside tables contrast with the calming grey scheme and Iva has used them to display more jewellery and a mix of ornaments including a cute white owl. The sleek red glass lamp adds to the boutique feel of the room.

A button-back tub chair in a darker grey is perfect for Iva’s boutique-style bedroom and also makes a feature of a small space. The gold ‘Love’ print cushion contrasts well with her collection of vintage frames.

The hotel-style bathroom was what sold the property for Iva and it was the inspiration for the use of grey throughout her home. The dark slate tiles and funky mirrored bath panel give the bathroom a glam feel that’s picked up in the rest of Iva’s decorating.
