Luxury Basement Interior Design-London
A full refresh of a basement flat in a converted Victorian house.
We delivered a bright, flowing plan with a white handleless kitchen and round dining, a calm living space opening to the garden, and a crisp wet room.
Initial Discussions
After the first on-site meeting, the brief was clear: best-in-class modern design with quality finishes. The client wanted a new kitchen with a bespoke island alternative (round dining chosen for circulation), doors to the garden, a cloakroom/wet room and an updated main bathroom, plus a hallway that felt contemporary from the front door through to the new works.
Our kitchen specialist joined from day one so layout, services and appliances were locked early. We recommended full design packages for kitchen, bathroom and cloakroom, with kitchen renders to de-risk choices. To ensure the build landed exactly as designed, the client chose our Multi-Room Design, Lighting Design and Design Consulting for the full duration.
How We Achieved It
Situated moments from Upper Street, the flat began as a blank canvas. We planned clear sightlines from living to kitchen and out to the garden so the space reads brighter on entry under the external stair.
Space planning: Straight runs, minimal visual breaks and generous turning around the dining table.
Kitchen: White handleless cabinetry, timber worktops and full-height storage; long open shelves keep the look light.
Living: Neutral upholstery, warm timber media unit and plants for softness; garden doors extend light and everyday use.
Wet room: Large-format marble-look porcelain, backlit mirror cabinet and matte-black brassware; niches for clutter-free storage.
Documentation: Each room had 2D drawings and a purchase list so the client approved every finish before ordering.
Delivery: One of Akiva’s approved contractors installed to spec; our design consultation ensured details matched the drawings.
Result: modern simplicity that’s practical day-to-day—and a very happy client.
