“My design intent for this project was all about encompassing Eco-worlds values and vision - being vibrant, creative, and of course, incorporating the life and character that the locals have injected into the area.

During my research into the area, I was instantly inspired by Aberfeldy Street’s energy. In March 2020, Poplar HARCA commissioned a new public artwork influenced by local residents and business owners. I loved the concept behind this and wanted to mirror this within the design of the show home to truly reflect the true nature of the area.”

Local Artwork.

To reflect the true vibrancy of the area, you are instantly invited into the space by warm pops of colour and patterns. Taking inspiration from street art commissioned by Poplar Harca on the nearby Aberfeldy Street, a deep pink wall and striking mustard sofa sets the tone of the apartment. Artwork completes the open plan living room, with prints from the likes of Kelly Anna and Yink Ilori. Continuing through to the principal bedroom, soothing sage tones and burnt oranges create a peaceful place to retreat to. Above the bed, artwork from Karimah Hassan’s ‘The Strangers Yearbook’ brings in the colours from the other rooms within the apartment, fusing the spaces together.

The Finishing Touches.

Whilst researching into the area we found some amazing products we had to include within the scheme. From the East London Liquor Co. styled throughout the living area through to the skincare displayed in the bathroom, these completed the contemporary design as well as help potential buyers envision themselves living there. Take a look below to see why Harriet chose these local brands and artists.
