The alcoves in the living space work hard, making this side of the apartment extremely family-friendly. Two sideboards provide ample storage, concealing tech and leads and storing toys or DVDs. Above, useful shelves stand out against bold black walls and create display space for treasured finds, books and photos, ensuring this contemporary scheme feels personal, too. The huge pendant light is a playful touch that children will love and its shape is echoed by the round mirror which, just like its black counterpart in the dining area, hangs above an understated and gorgeous contemporary fireplace.
