In the heart of London's bustling King's Cross neighborhood lies a flat that's undergone a transformation so profound, it would make even the most seasoned design aficionado do a double-take. Owned by a pair of young professionals, this space was meticulously crafted to blend historical charm with a modern flair. The kitchen, a hub for culinary adventures, boasts rich green metal tiles and a warm copper countertop that ages like a fine wine. Clever storage solutions hide appliances behind cabinet doors, ensuring a seamless, clutter-free look.
Moving into the living room, every detail seems to tell a story. A custom red sofa stands proudly, ready to transform into a guest bed at a moment's notice. The original fireplace, now painted red, adds a touch of coziness to the room, while a striking light fixture from La Redoute steals the show. Wall lights provide a soft glow, perfect for unwinding after a long day. An extendable coffee table and an L-shape bench offer both functionality and flexibility, catering to entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet night in.
Venturing into the bedroom reveals a sanctuary of storage and style. Extended wardrobes reach for the ceiling, cleverly wallpapered to mimic windows overlooking nature. A queen-size bed with hidden storage below ensures a clutter-free environment, while custom bedside tables and a unique dressing table maximize every inch of space. The bathroom, a place of relaxation, boasts a narrow bathtub and hand-made yellow tiles from Morocco, creating a serene atmosphere. Gray concrete walls and a translucent curtain add a touch of modernity to this oasis of calm.
