This was a two floor apartment in an early Victorian townhouse comprising accommodation and commercial premises. Client lives in UK for six months a year and had not refurbished the apartment for 15 years. The brief was to redesign the space to include a second bathroom and a utility area, without compromising on the feeling of light and space within the apartment. We also completely redecorated and refitted the kitchen, living room/dining room; two bedrooms, two shower rooms and all communal areas. We kept the furniture classic, but with a contemporary twist, upholstering in linens and silks. The palette was kept neutral and a colour scheme of taupes with teal accents were used throughout the apartment to maintain a feeling of synergy and space.
