WHAT WAS THE PROPERTY LIKE BEFORE?
The Edwardian house had space, beautiful proportions and a large garden. Although not to the taste of the owners, Sarah and James Bradshaw, they were able to live here for a year before starting to make changes.
HOW DID YOU COME TO WORK ON THE PROJECT?
Sarah and James were looking for a designer with interiors experience as well as trade contacts who could manage the project. They have three children and liked my approach to creating beautiful yet practical and liveable spaces for young families.
WHAT WERE THE PROJECT GOALS?
The house lacked storage and there was no utility room so I repurposed space from the kitchen and reconfigured the layout with more cupboards. I organised builders to update the en-suite loft bedroom in line with building regulations for the couple's teenage son. Ultimately, they wanted rooms with character but not to feel so new that they'd lose the heart and soul of their home.
