A modern day dream dwelling, this flat was developed by local studio Spring and Mercer which splendidly accentuated historical elements whilst adding an sophisticated, fresh edge to the interiors.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine_.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>This urban apartment is situated on the 1st floor of a Victorian-period building, which was formerly a warehouse space. Overlooking the piazza, the interior design manages to magnificently balance the current touches of grandeur, such as the wide crescent-shaped windows, with industrial simplicity like the exposed bolted-steel ceiling beams painted black.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine__.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>Prints and texture abound in this modern space, with houndstooth and herringbone playing effectively with geometric-patterned rugs against washed oak flooring. It’s a cool illusion how the black-and-white area carpets initially appear as marble floor tiling. I’m a bit smitten with the walls of one of the bedrooms which characteristics a richly textured wall resembling weathered, vertical wood grain–amazing!</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine___.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>The predominant black-and-grey palette stands out in this decidedly eclectic space, which is furnished with a melodious mix of antiques, mid-century modern pieces and even though-provoking artworks, some which are rather exotic. Take a closer look and you’ll notice the understated, but perky lemon-yellow accents–from books to bowls, wall art to candlesticks–which delightfully offset this otherwise muted color scheme.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine____.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>There is absolutely a warm power right here which is additional provoked by the custom-built  wall-unit shelving, which is filled with a variety of-sized cubbies displaying a plethora of books. This focal point resides in the open living space, which also attributes a central dining table. A cool addition to this space is the glass-globe chandelier which adds a touch of whimsy.</p><br/><img alt="the russell covent garden phil durrant est magazine The Russell Apartment – London By Spring And Mercer dream home building " height="357" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/the-russell-covent-garden-phil-durrant-est-magazine_____.jpg" title="The Russell Apartment - London-Spring and Mercer " width="500" /><br/><p>This modern dream apartment is a livable, sophisticated space which holds the greatest of everything–merry British flair doused with a chic, urban vibe.
