Step inside this Suffolk seaside apartment

After much neglect, this property was given a complete overhaul by the current owners, to create the coastal pad they always dreamt of..

A wall full of windows in this open-plan space lets light fill the room all year round, and a neutral colour scheme provides a relaxed beachy feel to the living area.

This earthy sofa is from Dwell and is complemented by these basketweave roman blinds from 247Blinds.

White units maximise space in the open-plan kitchen diner, with the wooden worktop reflecting the seaside elements they are so close to. The look is kept modern and streamlined with long linear handles, and stainless-steel appliances.

All the cabinets and worktops were bought at B&Q.

A round table is the perfect choice for a limited space, with a glass top reflecting light, and neutral wooden dining chairs blending with the flooring.  An overhead pendant lamp creates a feature above the dining table.

For a table like this, head to Dwell. Find chairs like this at Tesco Direct. 

Favourite furniture pieces, such as this lounge chair and elegant floor lamp, sit beautifully in the recess of a bay window, creating a perfect reading area in the living room.

This Wassily chair is available from The Conran Shop.

A feature shelving unit in the living room provides a great place to display beach finds and favourite possessions. The all-wooden theme contrasts with the bright white background.

For similar wooden shelving units head to Argos. Dulux sells a wide range of neutral paints.

The open-plan living and dining space is completed with a sleek and contemporary seating area.  Simple bar stools and a glass table compliment the neutral walls and wooden flooring, making this the perfect place for a Sunday morning breakfast.

Both the bar stool and the glass table are from Dwell.

White walls and bathroom furniture, make this compact bathroom feel light and airy.  Wood cladding around the bath and driftwood accessories add a reminder of the seaside location of the property.

For similar towels, look to The White Company.

Influnces from the outside elements are reflected in this nautical-themed bedroom, with a mounted oar above the bed, and black and white boat photography sitting amongst a cool cream and blue colour scheme.

For a weathered-looking bed like this one, try Argos.
