KITCHEN
‘I inherited the bright blue kitchen and I’m thinking of changing it to matt black to better go with the rest of the scheme,’ says owner Omar. ‘I also removed the island’s wooden table and created a version in marble,’ he adds.

THE DESIGNER & OWNER
Omar Bhatti, design director of interior design studio Space Shack.
THE PROPERTY
A loft-style new-build apartment on an island near Docklands, east London. There is an open-plan kitchen/living area, a main bedroom with an en suite, plus a guest bedroom and bathroom.
“This is the first home I have owned and I wanted it to be a true reflection of my personality and style”
LIVING AREA
The rug echoes the geometric design of the ceiling. Curved pieces, including a new arch on one wall, and swishy curtains soften and glamorise the look.
