5 London Homes That Score Major Design Points
As the world participates with cheer over the start of the Olympic games, I thought I would collect a few London homes that score high when it comes to home design. With these two modern spaces, a minimalist contemporary shed/office and a couple eclectic row homes, London is showing in more ways than just one that it’s a town teeming with winning imagination — particularly in regards to the home. See for yourself below.
Contemporary Bath in West London
This luxury bathroom is situated on peak of a four-story home. Its most striking feature is that a wood-trimmed curved wall. The partition splits the space in 2; on one side is the sink and vanity, along with a full-height shower unit and steam space (left curved wall).
On the opposite side of the wall is a soaking tub that is used by the woman of the house.
A wider perspective of the toilet from the opposite side of the curved wall shows a heated towel rack, ample bench space and, in the background, a part of the glass device that comprises the full-height shower unit.
Hint: When it comes to making a statement, think outside the box. Here, the trailer is equally a partial wall and a sculptural statement bit.

Shed/Office in East London
This 150-square-foot home office belongs to freelancers who wanted to feel a strong connection to their own garden space and the outdoors from within the office.
The builder used easy and durable materials sourced in the local and sustainable companies. He also made sure that the substances maximized insulation levels within the shed to keep energy costs as low as possible.

Hint: Contemplate fully retractable doors for outdoor sheds and home offices that are different from the main property. These doors allow the homeowners to fully enjoy their backyard from within the shed and enable them to entertain from the shed throughout the winter months.

Attic Bedroom in Southwest London
This boy’s room is just one of 2 rooms that was a top-floor attic in this terrace home. The mom had the smart idea of dividing the attic into two different bedrooms so that each of her childrend could have his own space to sleep and play.

Hint: The homeowners maximized the light coming in by the bedside window by simply maintaining the room’s furnishings and walls in a crisp white with bright squares, creating a bright, light-filled interior.

Eclectic East London Master Bath
This year, originally from Canada, saved space in their Victorian home by putting their cupboard in the same place as their toilet; it made complete sense to them to have the dressing room in which they began and ended every day.

Hint: Take dangers on your toilet furnishings. Do not be scared to put on your master bathroom a contemporary light pendant usually found above kitchen islands or even a hide slipper seat from an entryway.

Contemporary Riverside Kitchen in the Docklands
rather than feeling helpless by the huge pillar in this modern home, the designer simply worked about it. He took focus away from the visual interruption by creating a stunning blue backsplash that immediately draws the attention and provides the neutral space a welcome punch of color.
Hint: Personalizing your home can go beyond family photos on the wall and monogrammed pillowcases. This homeowner requested the designer to match the hue of the backsplash for her son’s eye color — now that is personal.
