Muted Gray Tones and Built-In Storage in a London Apartment

This beautiful, renovated apartment lies on the first floor of an early Victorian building in London. The two-bedroom apartment is decorated in a soft color palette of muted gray shades that, together with the wooden floorboards, creates a calm and inviting atmosphere.

The apartment has large windows facing the communal courtyard on the front side of the building. The windows flood the rooms with natural light while also adding wonderful views of the greenery outside.

The living room features wide oak floorboards paired with walls painted in the muted gray shade “Elephant’s Breath” by Farrow & Ball.

One wall is fitted with shelves painted in the same color as the walls. The books, trinkets, photos, and decor on the shelves help to create a personal touch to the space.

A dining table has been placed in the corner next to the window. The table is surrounded by beautiful Ercol Windsor dining chairs.

The kitchen is situated next to the living room and features a beautiful, large original sash window offering views of the trees outside.

On one side, the kitchen is fitted with contemporary off-white cabinets with wooden knobs. The other wall is fitted with floor-to-ceiling open cabinets providing plenty of storage space.

By the window, the cabinets also feature a small workspace, which is turned into a charming coffee corner with skirting at the bottom that hides (I presume) the washer and dryer.

Another large window dominates the master bedroom. The room is also painted in a muted gray shade, and the bed is flanked by built-in wardrobes on one side and an antique dresser in the niche.
