Industrial Chic Apartment | London Interior Design
An elegant balance of industrial texture and contemporary warmth, this London apartment showcases Akiva’s ability to combine architectural detail with everyday comfort. The design reimagines industrial elements — exposed surfaces, black framing, and tactile finishes — into a cohesive, modern home that feels both characterful and inviting.
Every feature was considered with precision: soft lighting offsets the raw materials, bespoke joinery maximises function, and layered tones create visual depth throughout. The result is a calm yet striking interior that celebrates modern city living without losing a sense of intimacy.
The Details
Client: Professional Male in the tech industry
Task: Our design brief for this renovation centred on transforming the apartment into a cohesive, modern home. The scope included designing a new kitchen with dedicated breakfast and dining areas, developing fresh layouts for lighting and electrics, commissioning bespoke furniture, updating wall décor, and connecting our client with one of our trusted contractors.
Akiva delivered a comprehensive, end-to-end interior design service - from initial concept through to completion - covering design coordination, procurement, installation, and all building works carried out by our partner contractors.
Type: Open Plan Renovation, Kitchen & Living Space
The Process
At Akiva, we believe great design should be simple, convenient, and stress-free. That’s why we offer a range offixed-price online design packages - such as our Open Plan Package and Post design support Package - allowing clients to begin their projects easily from home, without needing to take time off work or wait for appointments.
Our Approach
For this project, our client was close enough to meet in person and chose to work with us through our on-site design service. Using our design coordination expertise alongside our online collaboration tools, we ensured the process remained seamless and transparent from start to finish.
As part of our coordination service, we managed every aspect of the project - from site visits and contractor discussions to design reviews and implementation planning - ensuring everything stayed on track and true to the design vision.
Our virtual collaboration tools made it easy for the client to follow progress remotely, communicate directly with contractors, and stay fully involved throughout the renovation.
The design phase was completed in four weeks, and despite delays caused by the nationwide lockdown, the apartment was beautifully transformed within eight weeks of build time - a true reflection of efficient planning and teamwork.
