Bright Interiors Pair Modern Design with Victorian Elements in a London Apartment
This two-bedroom apartment is located on the first floor of a Victorian terraced house in the peaceful, tree-lined Bow conservation area in London.
The apartment has been sympathetically renovated, creating bright interiors with pinewood floors, a modern kitchen, a monochrome color scheme, and Victorian period features.
What makes this apartment extra special is the small private garden, a peaceful oasis with space for a small table and potted plants.
The apartment has an open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings, creating a bright, airy feel.
The space is anchored by an original fireplace, flanked on one side by bespoke shelving.
The pine floorboards are treated with lye, grounding the living space, while the walls are painted in the fresh “Wimborne White” by Farrow and Ball.
A support beam subtly marks the transition into the kitchen and dining area.
The stylish, understated matte-black kitchen cabinets are paired with a ceramic countertop and stainless-steel accents.
A small dining area is created with a birch/laminated white Aalto dining table topped with a terracotta Radius pendant light designed by Erik Balslev.
The integrated sink is placed under the window, making washing up a more enjoyable experience.
Through a small hall from the living room, you move into the smaller bedroom, which is now used as a home office with shuttered windows and a small round table.
The master bedroom sits at the front of the plan. It is a wonderfully bright room thanks to the large, original shas windows facing south.
The bathroom is designed in the same fresh, modern palette as the rest of the apartment. White mosaic tiles are paired with Lusso Stone brushed stainless steel fixtures and a combined shower and bath.
Via a glazed door in the living spaces, you can access the small private garden. Metal stairs descend to the secluded area, grounded with shingles and bordered by climbing roses that drape over the original stock brick wall.
The apartment is listed for £695,000 at The Modern House.
