Rugged and sexy converted London warehouse

This converted London warehouse oozes groove and sexiness, and I've decided that as soon as I come across a deserted, affordable warehouse I'm embarking on a project just like this and sprucing it up to just how I like it. What a space?! What a concoction of proportion, colour, texture, character and play on height!

Every touch, every accent of design seems to have been achieved in such a laid back and relaxed fashion... yet everything works so well and must have been rigorously thought out. How can one not appreciate the spaces created... the amazing long dining room table with the ensemble of mis-matching and fun chairs, the use of mirrors, both small and extra big, all adding to the play and perception of size, space, depth and proportion.

The backbone of the rhythm and life of the space are the walls. A sense of succulent ruggedness has been achieved through both the haphazard rendering of the high brick walls, and the recycled wood panel surfaces on which the eye can't help but dance over the depth and range of warm wood colours. After having lapped it all up thirstily I think my heart is most weak at the simple and girly act of using soft, pretty gowns as a curtain in the bedroom, and the shy little bathroom mirror with its humble sink.
