Pared Back Interiors and Light-Filled Spaces in a London Apartment

This charming two-bedroom apartment is located on the ground floor of a brick-fronted Victorian townhouse in the Islington area of London. The house has a calm interior created with a neutral palette of Farrow and Ball whites and a recently sanded and finished reclaimed timber parquet flooring.

A unique feature of this apartment is the glass wall and ceiling in the living room, which looks out over the private, spacious patio garden and floods the space with natural light.

All the living spaces open up to the patio, which makes it a great extension of living space in the summer months. The trees, plants, and brick wall make this patio extremely private.
