Plascon House Tour: Pared-Back Beauty

This gorgeous personality-filled abode is filled with both contemporary and minimalist touches. The result is a pared-back, modern rustic retreat that celebrates light, open space and a mix of natural materials.

The large kitchen is a feature in this home with gorgeous oak cabinets and floors complete with a large rustic central table and wooden window seats. Gorgeous stone counters bring a sophisticated edge to this space and bold windows allow for a natural flow of light throughout this room.

This light-filled retreat serves as both a functional kitchen and dining space, in a muted palette with bold wooden finishes that are perfectly on trend. Once an old Victorian school, this apartment conversion in Battersea, London is still reminiscent of its former life, complete with classroom-style windows and large interior rooms.

The living room comes alive in modern finishes with a bold pink daybed that becomes a statement piece in this home. Contemporary lighting such as this oversized paper chandelier adds intrigue and pops of colour are splashed throughout with a golden leaf piece on display above the sofa as well as colourful modern art.

The residence has a soothing, thought-through feel, aided by a pared-back ingredient list of just four main materials – wooden floors, marble, handmade tiles and painted walls.

Cleverly, the hallway shelves bring flexibility and can easily be moved as the owners’ collection of books increases.

Light through skylights infiltrates the bathroom. Good quality taps provide a key feature here while the tiles were handmade by a small firm in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
