The Glass Gallery

They say it's all a matter of perspective. For this design-led home, that means each room exhibits a different array of shapes and colours to draw your attention. Uniting slick interiors with striking artwork and an impeccably designed garden, it's akin to staying in a captivating modern art gallery. Tempting as it is to stay put, the buzz of Upper Islington Street is tantalisingly close by, whilst excellent transport links from Highbury and Islington station make this home ideal for jaunts into central London...

A little of this home's signature pizzazz is sprinkled everywhere here, spotlighting artistic flair against an effortlessly cool backdrop of modern interiors. The living room is a masterclass in contrasts, from its monochrome palette to its geometric patterns, fluid sculpture and curved lines. The well-equipped kitchen and atmospheric dining area are awash with light, thanks to ample use of glass and fresh tones.

On cosy evenings in, we'd suggest setting up camp in front of the TV, or, if it's a fancy home-cooked dinner you're hankering after, you can enjoy sitting under the stars in winter or invite in the fresh air with the patio doors wide open in summer. Upstairs, it's tricky to pick a favourite bedroom. With their light-filled interiors and vibrant accents, all five are equally inviting, whilst the bathrooms are an ode to chic contemporary design (with a special mention reserved for that wonderfully indulgent freestanding bath in the principal bathroom).

We Love
The garden, superbly set up for summer entertaining with its split-level terrace, al fresco dining table and sheltered seating area. We also can't resist mentioning the artwork – whether it’s playful sculpture, vivid prints or arresting paintings, there's something to inspire everyone here.
