This one-bedroom Victorian tenement flat in Edinburgh has been given a distinctive new look with bags of style and character.

2/12 Living room
The smart living room sets the tone for the rest of the flat, with its simple white-painted walls, sleek Scandi-style furniture and distinctive black and white colour scheme.
The owners have introduced small splashes of colour in prints and accessories to add a touch of character to the monochrome look.
