Something old, something new… and something blue

The old stone wall has lived many years and seen many lives come in and out through its openings. The countless stories remain etched in the walls surface. But now a new door is slotted between its flanks; a door with no past, only a promise of new memories to be made within the old stone walls.  

Painted a duck-egg blue, it is crisp and contemporary. What does number 38 have in store for us? 

The kitchen

Leaving the blue at the door, the kitchen adopts a monochromatic colour palette. The glossy white cabinetry is accompanied by various textured and patterned surfaces – from the stone splash back, to the geometric tiled floor and the white square tiles on the wall – it may be strictly black, white, and grey but the patterns are myriad. 

Stainless steel fittings and fixtures sit alongside a stainless steel bench surface – a nod to the industrial. 

Up-close

The textured matte surface of the splashback sits in strong contrast to the glossy, highly reflective surface of the stainless steel and white tiles. It's an elegant contrast that softens the harder industrial edge and makes it homely.

For all things kitchen design, take a look here! From the most minimal kitchens to the most kitsch – you're sure to find plenty of inspiration!

Bedroom storage

In the bedroom, beautiful natural timber floors meet all white walls. The inbuilt storage unit, featured in the image, also dons an all white shell. The minimal design is about as sleek and rational as the come; there's not a decorative element to be seen, nor a handle for that matter!

The balcony

Before we depart this simple and sleek apartment, let's step outside briefly to enjoy the balcony! The distressed timber decking brings a welcome touch of the natural to the man-made, as does the line of pebble at the junction between the floor and the balustrade. A soft yellow finish is given to the smooth and solid surface of the balcony.
