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…

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 Previously, a smaller, outdated extension held a kitchen and dining area that didn’t suit the scale of the rest of the house.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…

It’s One Room Challenge reveal day. Over the last eight weeks, I’ve been working to make the living room in our Edwardian house brighter, happier, and more functional. I’m calling the overall vibe “Global Eclectic.” The house is rented and the budget was tight, so it’s not the most dramatic makeover. And Covid sprang a few shipping delays on me, so it’s not 100% finished. But it’s close enough to share. Learn more about Emmerson & Fifteenth’s interior design services here.…

Today I’m taking you on a summer tour of my home. I live in a rented three-bed terrace in Mortlake, South West London.

The Dining Area The dining area is at one end of a long living room, which is also my husband’s office. Because the room serves so many functions, I keep the styling…
