This 2-bed flat benefits from a great location, good sized main bedroom and lovely light, but suffered from limited space and storage, tired finishes, and impractical plumbing & central heating. Our client wanted to optimise the layout, improve sound insulation and temperature control, increase storage space, and update the finishes throughout. In particular, he wanted to improve the layout and style of the cramped and impractical bathroom and to modernise the kitchen. We designed, planned and managed improvements.
In the bathroom, we worked with the contractor to carefully move pipework to minimise boxing and gain crucial sqm. We replaced the bath with a walk-in shower, repositioned the WC, added recessed storage and fitted a pocket door – significantly increasing the usable space in the room. To keep the space bright and maximise the sense of space, we kept colours throughout light, with touches of luxury added by bespoke velvet curtains, beautiful light fittings, and a new parquet floor with brass inlay.
