1 "Display art that's personal to you and has meaning"
This poster combines our love for mid-century art, vivid colour and happy times spent in New York. My passion for design feeds into my own business consultancy, rachaelotterwellstudio.co.uk.'

2 "Embrace an awkwardly shaped room
'Our house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, which translates as lots of crazy angles. The kitchen layout, however, makes good use of the space. L-shaped units divide it from the breakfast room in the extension, which we altered when we moved in."

3 "When we moved in the extension wasn't as exciting"
'The breakfast room originally had two small windows, but we wanted a large one and we couldn't afford a brand-new kitchen, so changed the cupboard fronts. Renovating had its challenges. There's no rear access, so everything had to come through the front door or be craned in from our neighbour's garden behind."
