106 In the kitchen Bhavin wanted to keep this quite streamline so selected high gloss white cabinets with a dark counter top, and added a round dining table that can offer flexible seating for when they have guests for dinner. The clients existing glamorous bed frame needed a statement backdrop for it to sit against so Bhavin selected this quirky animal and stripe wallpaper from House of Hackney, which adds and element of fun to the room. Keeping everything else in the room minimal and white allows the space to be restful and perfect to sleep in. The second bedroom is used as the client’s home office, so Bhavin kept the space simple and functional and let the artist decorate the walls with inspirational images and her own artwork. In the bathroom, Bhavin wanted to continue the all white look, but still inject a high impact design statement and this time took to the floor, selecting a mismatched hexagon tile in shades of grey that does not over power the space. Choosing a walnut finish on the vanity unit adds an element of warmth to the bathroom and ties this room to the rest of the apartments walnut floors.
