Designed for a young couple seeking a calm retreat from city life, this East London apartment draws inspiration from the relaxed elegance of New England coastal homes. Soft pale blue walls with dark stormy-grey windows create an airy backdrop, while brass fixtures, cherry-wood timber floors and vintage pieces add character and warmth throughout.

The kitchen combines white cabinetry, light wood worktops and classic metro tiles to create a practical yet timeless space. Throughout the apartment, antique brass details, worn leather sofas and collected furnishings introduce subtle coastal references inspired by the East Coast of America, balancing comfort with understated sophistication.

The result is a welcoming home that feels both urban and restorative. A place to return to after busy days in the city, offering a sense of calm, character and escape.
