Lina transformed her dated one-bedroom apartment into a two-bedroom home. She wanted the modern kitchen, dining and living area as one large open-plan space. The rich darkwood flooring makes for a stunning contrast to the all-over white.

When it came to choosing worktops for the kitchen, Lina thought about choosing contrasting colours, but decided to stick to a uniform look with white ones to match the units. The hi-gloss finish helps to keep the space bright and fresh.

Lina chose colourful soft furnishings and accessories to contrast with her neutral furniture. The statement striped wallpaper is a real talking point. Sofa and island unit accessories are co-ordinated in accent shades to create a coherent look.
