Playful Colors in a Modern One-Bedroom Apartment in London
This one-bedroom apartment with a large balcony lies on the sixth floor of a new apartment overlooking the River Lea in Hackney Wick, London. The 53 square meter (570 sq. ft.) apartment features clean lines and large windows, creating a nice open flow while also flooding the spaces with natural light.
The neutral interior base of white walls and warm wooden floors is paired with bold color pops, sometimes in unexpected spaces, like the skirting boards in the living room. The result is a wonderfully fresh home using playful and fun color elements that make this home unique.
The L-shaped open-plan living space is wrapped around the apartment’s balcony. Floor-to-ceiling windows in two directions flood the space with natural light and offer nice rooftop views of the surrounding buildings.
The sitting area is centered around the white IKEA ELVARLI cabinet in front of the balcony window. The open shelving system lets in light from the large windows and still offers plenty of storage space for colorful decor, plants, and the television.
The terracotta RS Barcelona Plec Marble coffee table adds luxurious style and a warm color touch to the room.
The current owners carefully uncovered this concrete pillar in the living space, adding a brutalist and architectural vibe.
The stylish kitchen is made from muted gray and white cabinets paired with a mirror backsplash that reflects light throughout the space.
A small home office is fitted in front of the kitchen window, using a minimalistic blue table shelf and a red stool.
Sliding glass doors open into an east-facing balcony with terracotta tiles, planters, a table, and a steel ribbed glass cabinet.
The hall and the doorway leading to the living space are painted in a vibrant blue shade. The skirting boards in the living room are painted a grassy green.
The bedroom is a study of contrast. Terracotta skirting boards and yellow pillows add warm color elements compared to black and white walls and ceiling.
The small bathroom is stylish and efficient. Mirror cabinets offer plenty of storage, and stylish light beige tiles are paired with burnt orange walls, adding warmth to the smallest room in the house.
The apartment is listed for £475,000 at The Modern House.
