Sofa

Green is a tranquil colour that can stretch to every room in the home without looking overdone. An occasional table is a great place to store magazines and books, while a decorative vase containing fresh flowers gives the room a lived-in feel.

Kitchen

The apartment's mansard roof allows light to pour in through the skylights, but means wall space is at a premium. Under-the-counter wall-hung units in the kitchen increase the sense of light and space.

Staircase

The unusual curved staircase was installed when the house was first built, and leads to the drying room for laundry on the top floor. It was painted white to lighten the hallway.
