This Margate apartment is set within a Grade II listed converted chapel, dating back to 1811. The high ceilings and loft-style columns allowed us to be playful with the scale, so that we could create a feeling of space. We selected mainly vintage furniture and a fresh colour palette – designed to give a feel of being transported to a sunny holiday in Ibiza or Mexico – despite the lack of natural light. The use of painted arches throughout the apartment are a nod to the Chapel’s original arched windows. The shape is carried through the apartment; from the scalloped splashback in the kitchen, to the marble detailing in the bathroom.

Bench Seat in Window

Spin Design Limited

The thoughtful design of the interconnected spaces extends to the living room's connection with the exterior through a bench seat in the window. This strategic addition not only enhances the living room's aesthetic appeal but also fosters a tangible link to the outdoors. The bench seat becomes a cozy spot, offering a panoramic view and inviting natural light into the living space. This connection to the exterior adds a refreshing touch to the living room, creating a seamless integration between indoor and outdoor environments. Whether used as a contemplative nook or a sunny reading spot, the bench seat reinforces the idea of a home that not only embraces eclectic design but also celebrates a harmonious connection with nature.

Defining separate areas within open plan living

Sara Slade | Interior Design

The starting point for this area was the original 1950's freestanding bar - which we loved! The colours throughout the space and the curves that bounce through the design stop the space feeling rigid. The addition of the Oak room divider creates a separate space without losing any light. A gorgeous corner looking out onto the garden.

A real entertainers dream with this open dining/living space. We used a mix of timbers contrasted with soft textures to create this inviting interior.
