Contemporary and Classic Design in a Two-Bedroom London Duplex
The top two floors of a Victorian townhouse in London Fields have been beautifully converted into a two-bedroom duplex apartment. The apartment was renovated in recent years, adding a stylish palette of high-quality materials and stunning colors.
The duplex beautifully blends historical with contemporary elements. Reclaimed pine, rosa marble, and Belgium blue limestone are paired with olive green, dusty pink, and deep purple. The large windows offer views of mature, leafy trees, making it feel like you’re in the countryside instead of London.
At the front of the apartment lies the open-plan living room and kitchen featuring two large sash windows, offering views of the trees and letting a natural green hue flow into the room.
The walls in the living area are painted in “Old White” by Farrow and Ball, paired with pale redwood pine floorboards.
On the other side of the room, you’ll find the kitchen and dining area set in front of a limestone fireplace.
A bespoke kitchen by Huxtable Joinery is composed of olive-green cabinets with Belgium blue limestone worktops and brass DeVol fixtures. A shelf above the countertop instead of cabinets helps to retain an open and airy atmosphere in the small living area.
The staircase winds past another sash window toward the top floor, where you’ll find two bedrooms.
The master bedroom is painted in a muted gray tone called “Almond” by Farrow and Ball”.
Custom wardrobes have been fitted under the slanted ceiling, painted in a deep purple shade called “Fallen Plum” by Atelier Ellis.
The second bedroom lies next door. The room is painted in a “Dusty Pink” by Farrow and Ball and features white-painted floorboards and a contrasting black original fireplace. This room is a charming children’s room.
The bathroom is stylish and pairs classic and contemporary elements. One wall is fitted with modern built-in wardrobes and shelves. There is a freestanding Lusso bath under the window, and the floorboards are dark stained.
On the other side is a walk-in shower with vertical light-colored tilework.
A classic Burlington sink completes the stylish bathroom.
A four-paneled front door set inside a facade of London stock brick and stucco detailing gives access to the central hall.
The apartment is listed for £1,000,000 at Inigo.
