Brief: Single storey rear extension plus flat reconfiguration and bathroom refurbishment, for a lower ground floor flat.
Simply Extend were delighted to complete this rear extension for our clients in Dalston. We can extend all types of houses, including flats like our clients in this project, and we can advise you on what type of build project you can and cannot do with your property type. Simply Extend has completed many projects in North London, and we take pride in each of our personalised, bespoke extensions. This flat was completely reconfigured, allowing for a new living space and dining space.
This flat oozes character, with a bold feature wall and monochrome colour scheme in the main bedroom. It can be daunting to paint with dark colours, but they can create a dramatic ambience in a room, which can be softened with other paler features. The black of the wall is carried through to the bed headboard, the bedside cabinets and the fireplace. These dark features contrast against the wooden floorboards, and white wardrobes, shutters and shelving. Contrasting bright and dark can make a room seem modern and sleek, which is a great way to modernise a flat.
The new secondary bedroom is a beautiful space, with stunningly warm light coming from the bedroom lamp, which lights up the natural bedding and wooden flooring. The details of this room are exquisite, with the black mirror frame being accentuated by the black radiator and wardrobe. The disparity between the contemporary monochrome and the natural muslin-style bedding creates a balanced room, with delicate pastel colours creating a relaxed ambience.
This modern theme is brought through into the kitchen, with dark kitchen fittings and exposed steel. In recent years, keeping the structural supports exposed has been a popular option, as it can make a kitchen look slightly industrial and spacious. There are many design options you can integrate with an exposed steel, for example our clients here have utilised it as an extra shelf to display houseplants, framing the kitchen space. Equally, they could be used for decorations at Christmas or New Year.
The Crittall windows help to continue the monochrome theme with their bold black outlines, whilst also bringing in lots of light into the living area. Crittall windows can be a great way of expanding your flat space, as they allow in more light and allow your garden space to be a continuation from the flat. The skylight constructed in the roof of the extension is an excellent addition to the new space, lighting up the dark colours in the room, and casting light on the main living areas.
The bathroom is full of eye-catching tiling on the walls and flooring, once again continuing the monochrome theme in the rest of the flat. The black shower feature is particularly eye-catching, with the matte colouring being of stark difference to traditional polished silver. The bright mirror light connotes thoughts of a dressing room mirror, making you feel like a celebrity every day!
The finished flat is amazingly modern and stylish, with so much extra space being added to the property.
