This house redesign was all about adapting to the changing needs of a family of six. With the bedrooms complete in Phase One it was time to breathe new life into the living spaces.

To do this our architectural designers had to remodel the entire back of the house. It was a real collaboration with the family. They had grown out of the much-used kitchen, dining, day-living, and utility/boot room and needed help to make it work again for them.

As an interior design practice we take time to understand your vision, your space, and your needs. We discovered that the overall layout of the kitchen already worked well for the family, but they wanted it to feel more modern and welcoming.

Previously the kitchen was dark, and we wanted to create a scheme that was both contemporary and neutral, but warm and characterful. We fitted a new porcelain floor reminiscent of traditional pillow-edge flagstones, introduced warm neutral and honey tones, and the painted panelling added a classic backdrop for weathered oak cabinetry.

It was the finishing touches that really elevated this project. Bronze elements in light fittings, hardware and accessories added a contemporary edge. Linens, woven fabrics, weathered timbers, rattan, and touches of blackened bronze metals created a relaxed, lived in aesthetic perfectly suited to our young family’s lifestyle.
