PREVIOUS PROPERTY

‘We lived in the downstairs maisonette and later bought the upstairs maisonette and turned them into one home,’ says Lisa.

KITCHEN-DINER

‘We swapped our kitchen and dining area around so we could enjoy eating while sitting by the window,’ says Lisa. The rich blue kitchen looks smart and modern. Kitchen cupboards, from £335 for a single cabinet, Naked Kitchens; in Hague Blue estate eggshell, £67 for 2.5ltr, Farrow & Ball. Dulwich extending table in oak, £2,615, The Conran Shop

When architects and interior designers, The Vawdrey House, showed Lisa Gordon their suggestion of dark blue floor tiles shot through with an eye-catching gold pattern for the hallway, it resonated with her immediately. ‘I’ve always gone overboard with too many swirls and curls in my design ideas,’ says Lisa, ‘and I needed expert help with this house,’ she says. ‘My husband Guy and I both loved their suggestion and knew they’d be perfect to guide us through the project.’
