Lewisham, London: two-bedroom flat—an industrial style full refurb

A young professional couple bought their first flat, in a converted Victorian house. The flat was subsequently named ‘The Home of Hooks’ as the previous owner had hooks scattered all over the property. It was a clear sign of having very little storage.

Brief: Create a home they would be proud of, where they can come home after a stressful day on the ward and unwind.

Style: Dark and moody with an industrial vibe running through but with touches of quirkiness!

Services: Project Coordination, Design concepts and moodboards, Lighting and Electrical plans, Joinery Design, Kitchen, Bathroom and WC design and installation, source and supply all furniture, fixtures and equipment.

I was approached by my clients, who worked within the medical industry. Their main goal was to create a welcoming home where they could unwind after their demanding shifts. 

Putting their personal touch on their new home

Having rented for years, they were excited to finally have the opportunity to put their own personal touch on their home. The project involved fully renovating a two-floor converted Victorian flat in South East London. The flat still possessed plenty of character but required significant improvements.

Industrial-style decor with dark colours

Adhering to my clients’ brief of dark colours and industrial style, I saw a space that blended industrial tones with a contemporary aesthetic. The aim was to design an environment where the clients could relax and unwind while also feeling pride when entertaining guests. 

We worked diligently to reveal the potential for space, allowing us to implement my design vision. Throughout the process, we faced challenges caused by restrictions on supply due to the COVID pandemic. However, we persevered by exploring alternative options for sourcing materials to reduce lead times, ensuring the project moved forward despite the obstacles of supply.
