PREVIOUS PROPERTY 'We lived in another Victorian terrace in London,' says Lara.
DESIGN TIP 'We didn't need to extend to get spaces that work for us - we just changed the function of some rooms'
KITCHEN
The units were made by Lara's builders to fit the space perfectly. Painting them the same colour as the walls has helped them to blend into the background - ideal for a cook space that is a main living space, too.
