Adley Street

Colours and textures abound in this contemporary family home. The living room is teeming with creative contrasts. Crisp, white interiors and smooth wood floors are lifted by accents of colour, geometric patterns, and trailing houseplants. Two comfy seating areas provide plenty of space to relax, whilst for those more studiously inclined, there's a handy little office area, complete with bureau and bookcase. The kitchen blends rustic features with modern design and warm lighting. A generously-sized table in the window recess offers a charming dining spot, though if you prefer your meals alfresco, there's always the patio garden. The three bedrooms mix whimsical details with fresh design, and both bathrooms nail the contrasts mandate, with smart, clean lines zhuzhed up by jazzy, patterned flooring.

We love...

That adorable cot room, with its personal touches and rainbow theme. If we were considerably smaller, that's the room we'd bag. If a smart, modern bathroom floats your boat, it would be remiss of us not to mention the second floor shower room, with its stark black and white tones, large walk-in shower, and leafy tendrils. We'd like to bagsy that too, please.
