✨Bespoke details that make a house feel truly personal

From the custom TV unit and wall moulding, to the antique glass bar and fitted wardrobes, every joinery detail in this project was carefully designed to bring cohesion, warmth and functionality to each space.

Seeing these ideas come to life is always the most rewarding part 🤍

Designed by me and beautifully crafted and executed by Shane

Thinking of doing an extension?
Here are 3 mistakes I see people make all the time before they even start building 👇

1️⃣ Not finalising the layout early
People focus on the size of the extension instead of how the space will actually work day to day.
Where will the dining table go?
Can you move around the kitchen properly?
Does the new layout flow with the rest of the house?

Changing layouts mid-build usually costs time, money and stress.

2️⃣ Poor lighting plans
Lighting is one of the biggest things that changes how a home feels.
Too many people leave it until last minute and end up with badly placed spots, no feature lighting or dark corners where they actually need light most.

Lighting should be planned alongside the layout — not after.

3️⃣ Not planning storage
Beautiful spaces still need to function.
Hidden storage, utility layouts, kitchen storage, kids’ storage, cleaning cupboards… all of these things need to be thought about early or the house quickly starts to feel cluttered.

The best extensions are the ones that look beautiful AND work for real life.

The best way to avoid these mistakes is to engage with an interior planner/designer from the very start.

DM to get started on your dream extension 😊

The biggest change in this project wasn’t just the extension… it was how the whole house feels now.

Before, the kitchen felt narrow, disconnected and lacking natural light. By extending the rear of the house and completely rethinking the layout, we created one open, bright family space that now flows effortlessly from kitchen → dining → living.

The addition of the large glazing and rooflights completely transformed the light in this home, while the new layout allowed us to create proper zones for cooking, dining and relaxing without the space feeling closed off.

This is why layout design is so important before building starts, it can completely change how you live in your home.

If you like what you see and think your home has the potential to feel like this too, send me a DM, I’d love to help you bring your ideas to life.

✨Kitchen Design✨

I designed this kitchen to be simple, functional and beautiful 🤍

I absolutely love the matte black units paired with the contrasting black and white worktops it creates such a clean, timeless look.

The antique brass hardware add just the right touch of warmth and style.

Delighted with how this one turned out.

Big shout out as always to for bringing the design to life 🤍

DM me if you’d like details on anything featured.

Delighted to finally share my most recent project 🤍

The brief was a full house redesign, making it work for a busy family.
Open-plan living for family time, but with the option to close things off when everyone needs their own space which lets be honest is essential 😅

We also added an extra bedroom so everyone has a room of their own, and redesigned the bathrooms with busy mornings in mind.

The standout features have to be the bifold doors, opening the space right out into the garden, and the kitchen is a real statement piece at the heart of the home.

So happy with how it all came together a dream job from start to finish ✨

Why January is the perfect month to plan interiors!

January isn’t about starting builds — it’s about making better decisions.

It’s the month where layouts are refined, budgets are reviewed and spaces are planned properly before money is spent.

If you’re thinking about a renovation, extension or redesign in 2026, now is the time to get the foundations right.

👉 DM “PLAN” if you’re thinking ahead
