Notting Hill is one of the most charming and stylish districts in London. This apartment is situated at Hereford Road, on a 19th century building, where Guglielmo Marconi (the pioneer of wireless communication) lived for a year; now the home of my clients, a french couple. The owners desire was to celebrate the building's past while also reflecting their own french aesthetic, so we recreated victorian moldings, cornices and rosettes. We also found an iron fireplace, inspired by the 19th century era, which we placed in the living room, to bring that cozy feeling without loosing the minimalistic vibe. We installed customized cement tiles in the bathroom and the Burlington London sanitaires, combining both french and british aesthetic. We decided to mix the traditional style with modern white bespoke furniture. All the apartment is in bright colors, with the exception of a few details, such as the fireplace and the kitchen splash back: bold accents to compose together with the neutral colors of the space. We have found the best layout for this small space by creating light transition between the pieces. First axis runs from the entrance door to the kitchen window, while the second leads from the window in the living area to the window in the bedroom. Thanks to this alignment, the spatial arrangement is much brighter and vaster, while natural light comes to every room in the apartment at any time of the day. Ola Jachymiak Studio

Industrial chic. An increasingly popular look for minimalists. Raw and nuanced, this look best complements minimal interior designs. When paired with the appropriate furnishing, the Concrete textured wall exudes modern edginess and a suprisingly natural warmth. A highly versatile finish that sits well in any setting.

Garageflex ast week our fitters were down in Ringwood in Dorset fitting out a double garage. As well as our fantastic bespoke storage that is tailored to each individual garage that we see, the customer was keen to do something different with his floor. Our Design Consultant, Abi Leonard, went down to see the couple to discuss their requirements further. To answer the brief of the floor, Abi suggested using a combination of smooth and raised disk floor tiles with a mixture of colours and patterns. The customer agreed with this and the rest of the garage design that Abi outlined and quoted for, and the job was booked in. As you can see from the photos in this case study, the floor really works and creates a real pop of colour against the white walls of our FlexiPanel. In addition, our fitters installed a threshold barrier against the garage door. This creates a barrier against water, leaves and other debris coming into the garage. It also reduces down draughts making it a much nicer place to be on a cold Winter’s day. To find out how your garage could be re-designed, contact Abi on 07467 941025 or download our brochure now.
