By installing a stylish furniture scheme
this small flat which was struggling to
find a buyer sold in 4 days!
It was important to design a neutral
scheme so that the property was
attractive to a wide range of potential
purchasers - as it was for sale - so that
the property stood out in a market that is
flooded with generically styled properties
with unopinionated bland schemes. With
an all-white backdrop to the walls and
neutral flooring, we had a blank canvas
against which to create individuality with
a very limited space. The aim was to
present a considered, designed space that
instantly conveyed a feeling of light, space
and sanctuary. The space throughout has been designed
in my signature Mid Century Modern
British style with touches of colour and
modern accessories and styling items to
bring it right up to date.
During the design of this bijou, top floor,
single occupancy flat, I drew upon my
full arsenal of Interior Design skills, over
and above pure interior decoration, to re-
design the structural layout of the property
and where needed, to re-site walls to ’take
extra space’ from the shower room to
allow a built in wardrobe in the bedroom. We flexed our signature Mid Century
muscle, by selecting Design Classic
chairs by Robin Day for the dining table,
which perfectly compliment the dark
grey oak kitchen units, accented with
antique mirror glass for a touch of luxury.
A contemporary side board and set of
coffee tables add balance to the living
space, that features an original mid-

The open-plan kitchen dining and sitting
room was carefully arranged to make the
most of the natural light coming through a
pair of French doors. Flow and use of the
space was divided into three keys sections
living dining and cooking and while the
space is small it does by no means feel
cramped or over furnished.
