The kitchen was made bespoke by joiners, including a custom breakfast larder and pantry unit and the reeded wood extractor box - the reeded detail is repeated in the glass fronted wall units. The Crofts & Assinder handles add a touch of elegance.

The cold and worn floor tiles were replaced with engineered herringbone wood flooring for warmth. We created a window seat as a reading nook in the box window and the existing double doors leading to the snug were painted charcoal grey to match the sliding doors to the garden.

In the reception, the existing wooden flooring was carefully sanded down to its natural colour and re-oiled. We designed new built-in joinery comprising of base cabinets and open shelving, with textured wallpaper back panels, to sit either side of the fireplace.

In the adjacent snug room, which would become a play room and library space, we designed storage cabinets and open shelves with recessed LED lights, designed to fit around the existing fireplace. We opted for a bolder blue colour for the joinery to add a playful touch.

The main bedroom was a generously sized space with lovely natural light but needed to work hard to also act as a dressing room for the couple. We designed a full wall of built in wardrobes with customised internals to meet both their needs and even made use of an extra nook by the bedroom door to create even more storage, neatly concealed by the panelling behind the bed.

The bed is the client’s own and the sweet little bedside tables with wicker-wrapped handles are bespoke from Chelsea Textiles.
