Bright white

Great space filled with lots of light. Stripped back to the bare essentials, but left with lots of character. I love how they have painted some of the beams but left others in their original state.

I love the way dark colours have been used to anchor the individual areas within this open plan loft. Like little floating islands surrounded by white.
