1/10 Edgy living room
2/10 Zestful living room
The zestful colour scheme and textural fabrics used to cover the squashy sofa makes the room both stylish for entertaining and comfortable enough for everday life. A sunburst mirror creates real impact.
3/10 French-inspired kitchen
A French polisher stained the existing units in a dark wenge finish to match the wood used elsewhere in the apartment.
4/10 Colourful seating area
Chairs positioned opposite the kitchen offer useful seating.
5/10 Skylit dining room
With glass on three sides, this impressive room allows dinner guests to enjoy spectacular views of central London.
6/10 Silk wallpaper living room
The silk wallpaper has been mounted on panels instead of directly on to the walls, which means the couple can take them with them if they move.
7/10 Decorative hallway
A series of individually framed photographs act as a storyboard on this picture wall.
