Houzz Tour: Quirky a creative and practical - torque Surrey Flat designer Bhavin For Taylor, this two bedroom apartment was a dream to work. The brief is simple: add intelligent storage and create a context in which the artistic owners can post their own songs. But the best thing for Taylor was the will of the couple to accept the most original aspects of its design. "They could see my crazy ideas," he said with a smile. "And they are not afraid to leave their comfort zone."

Taylor designed the cover of the TV to be both functional and stylish. It is carefully located along the rear wall and contains a shelving area for each support element. on each side of the TV, surfaces may be lifted to reveal storage inside.
Since the budget was tight, Taylor had to prioritize where it should squirt. The rocking chair and the couch and footrest (in the photo above) were the customers' own. "There was no need to change," Taylor said. "They add a warm and vintage at the apartment."

The couple already this bed is a dramatic piece of furniture, they decided to "go with it". They loved the quirkiness of the animal wallpaper on the theme, chose as its point of the chat room.

In bathroom, Taylor wanted to move the tank away from the window to put a mirror above. This proved difficult, as the conduct of old soil was large and protruding. He bypassed by building a false wall behind the sink and toilet to accommodate the heavy plumbing. The wall doubles as a useful shelf.
Mismatched, hexagonal tiles on the floor add character to the neutral space. Again, Taylor chose a subtle color to avoid crushing the model room.
