A London Apartment with a Pink and Green Kitchen

On the second floor of Forest Lodge, a beautiful 1930s building in the Forest Hill area of London, lies this charming two-bedroom apartment with large windows and a pink and green kitchen.

The apartment has a floorplan of only 56 square meters, but the large windows and smart design solutions create open and airy spaces. The kitchen is especially wonderful, designed in a pink and green color scheme and with a large balcony attached.

The apartment has an east-west orientation, so it is flooded with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen gets morning sun, ideal when you want to sip a cup of tea on the balcony, and the living room gets afternoon light.

The apartment was carefully renovated in recent years, restoring the original floorboards that add such character to the rooms. The living room is a small but charming space with built-in bookshelves and a dining table in front of the large window.

The bespoke kitchen by Toby Mower features ply-edged lino worktops, deep green cabinet fronts, open shelves, black fittings, and pale pink walls. The room is practical and stylish and in the warmer months it is a wonderful space for cooking and dining thanks to the large balcony attached.

The private balcony overlooks the communal garden. Thanks to the high position, it also offers wonderful views of the surrounding buildings.

In a small home, you always have to think about storage. This apartment features shelves above the doorframes for extra storage space. The entry to the living room is also extra wide (and without a door), creating an open and flowing layout that makes the rooms feel larger.
