Alder Road Project | Victorian Terrace Hallway Renovation, Mortlake

Alder Road Project | Victorian Terrace Hallway Renovation, Mortlake

This Victorian terrace hallway renovation was part of a larger extension project on a ground floor maisonette in Mortlake, London. The entry hall is your welcome home, and the transition between your home and sanctuary, and the daily grind outside. The key to designing a hallway that does that well is to maximise function – in this case, with built in storage and as much space to accommodate foot traffic as possible.

Alder Road Project | Side Return Extension Plans, Mortlake

Alder Road Project | Side Return Extension Plans, Mortlake

Last year, we wrapped up renovations on a ground floor maisonette flat in Mortlake SW14. Previously a two-bed, two-bath home, we built a side return extension, transforming the living space and adding an additional office/guest room, en suite half bath, and walk-in pantry. We also renovated the two existing bathrooms and the entrance hallway. We didn’t engage a separate architect for this project, opting to design the extension in-house under the guidance of the structural engineer. The planning application was…

Black Living Room Styling, East Sheen

Black Living Room Styling, East Sheen

It’s always exciting to work with clients who aren’t afraid to go bold with their interior design choices, so I was thrilled to put together a styling scheme for a living room where the client had already pulled the trigger and chosen stunning black walls. Black Living Room Before The living room room was a blank canvas with great bones and lots of potential. The clients had a neutral sofa and a leather Eames chair that they already owned, but…

Retail Spatial Design | Create & Wild Florist, East Sheen

Create & Wild is a local florist in East Sheen, run by a hugely talented and creative girl boss who’s style I’ve admired for years. Selin opened her shop a few years ago on Sheen Lane in SW14, but earlier this year moved just around the corner to share the back half of antiques shop Hayles. While the original premises was a traditional shop space, the new place has a different vibe. It’s technically a garage, with concrete floors, a…

Budget-Friendly Family Bathroom Renovation, East Sheen

Budget-Friendly Family Bathroom Renovation, East Sheen

This budget-friendly family bathroom renovation is from the same East Sheen property where we added a new extension with a large kitchen / dining / living area, utility room and guest bathroom. It was a “Give a mouse a cookie” type sitch – once they had a shiny new extension, the rest of the house didn’t seem up to par, so now we’re slowly working our way through the original rooms and giving them some love too. As is often…

Modern Kitchen Extension, East Sheen

Modern Kitchen Extension, East Sheen

This kitchen, dining and living area extension is part of a large residential renovation project in East Sheen, Southwest London. Previously, a smaller, outdated extension held a kitchen and dining area that didn’t suit the scale of the rest of the house. We replaced it with a much larger and more functional extension which added a cosy living space, and a larger kitchen and dining area, along with a pantry, guest bathroom, and utility room. The Brief When I got…

They replaced it with a much bigger one, which now holds a spacious kitchen and dining room, with a cosy living area, as well as…

Camo Kids Bedroom Design, Bramley

Camo Kids Bedroom Design, Bramley

I recently worked on a fun camo kids bedroom for some lovely clients based in Surrey. Having traded their smaller London home for more space in the country, they wanted to make their 7 year old son’s bedroom special, especially since it’s the first time he hasn’t had to share a room with his twin sister. The design was fully driven by the little man himself, and he loves camo. Before Here’s where the room started. They’d just moved in,…

Design Tips | Pretty, Hard to Kill, Air Purifying House Plants

Air-purifying house plants are an essential element of almost every space I design, and botanicals have been trending in the interiors world for a while. Plants help create visual balance in well-designed interiors. Organic elements always play nicely with sharper angles. Plants also have health benefits, filtering toxins and improving air quality. The NASA clean air study is one of my go-to, if slightly unexpected, design resources. It highlights the plants best at filtering specific toxins from the air, and…
