Georgia Barton-Hague bought her top-floor flat in Brighton just over 18 months ago. ‘The flat was one of the last I viewed, and I fell in love with it instantly,’ recalls Georgia. ‘It had amazing sea views from the kitchen window, and was in close proximity to the shops, seafront and beach. I could really see myself living here’.
Georgia had been searching for about six months and wanted to make use of the financial support her family was providing to buy something that would be a good first step on the property ladder. ‘I’ve lived in the area all my life and this place just felt right. It’s also a good investment for the future. But, although the flat was structurally perfect, it really needed an interior update. My bedroom was a priority, as I love to relax!’
STEP INSIDE...
WHO LIVES HERE? I’m Georgia Barton-Hague, 24. I’m studying Sport and Exercise Science at university. I live in my top-floor, one-bedroom flat in Brighton. I bought the flat in 2020. This is my first home.
WHAT WAS UPDATED? I decorated my bedroom to make it a welcoming space to relax at the end of a day studying.
WHY THE CHANGE? The décor was bland and neutral, and the room lacked personality, which was a shame for a character property in Brighton. I wanted to give it a fresh feel and add colour.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE? It took about six weeks to get it done from start to finish, as I stripped back some of the furniture and doors.
