Living Room • Weller Street, Southwark, London, UK
The exposed brick wall transforms. A deep teal now covers its entire surface. This drench-painted wall defines the room's main axis. All other walls and the ceiling are crisp white, framing the bold color.
A vibrant ochre sofa introduces energetic contrast. It defines the primary seating area. A large, round dusty rose rug marks a distinct conversational zone. Custom shelving provides display without interrupting the color.
This room asserts its presence through deliberate color.
