Take a look around Lina’s stylish modern apartment in London

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's spare bedroom is used as a home office, but a foldaway bed means it can be turned into a guest room easily. The striped wallpaper is a smart addition, whatever the function of the room.
