Stuart's Story

Stuart's Story

When busy professionals Stuart and Claire bought their family home, they loved its potential but knew it didn't reflect who they were. The kitchen was tucked away in a dark corner, cut off from family life and their beautiful garden views. What started as a "relatively modest renovation" became a complete transformation when we suggested relocating the entire kitchen to the back of the house. The result? An open-plan heart where the whole family could be together while pursuing individual passions, plus the confidence to embrace bold burnt orange and deep blue colours they'd always loved but were unsure how to use. Take a look at the stunning results.
