Wirral Family Home Phase 2

Catering for the needs of a nutritionist and her young family

We wanted to create a space that was functional for our client's young family needs whilst stylish for her business needs, uploading media content for her nutritionist videos from this new space.

Sector: Residential
Style: Contemporary
Location: Wirral, Merseyside, UK
Status: Completed 2023

This design of this kitchen was particularly important, as our client is a personal trainer and health nutritionist.

Practicality was a focus, so we replaced worn oak floorboards and cracked kitchen tiles with a new porcelain floor throughout, resembling traditional limestone tiles but with the durability of porcelain. The dining room walls were covered in a practical vinyl wallcovering which resembled hessian, adding a soft texture to the entire space.

British designed lighting and British made furniture pieces were added in, with a warm colour palette of terracotta throughout to bring a cohesive feel to the three rooms.

We designed bespoke cabinetry in the kitchen, dining and utility in warm oak timber with white quartz worktops.

Dining room with a large wooden table surrounded by colourful upholstered chairs, a stone vase of yellow flowers at the centre, a white fireplace and wicker-shaded chandelier, with an open view into a modern kitchen island beyond
We kept to a natural material palette with pops of color, bringing in our clients personality and love of color and pattern whilst being sympathetic to the house.

Integral lighting within the joinery added a soft ambient light for evening use, with the dining room cabinetry acting as a useful bar space.
