Family Friendly

Sara-Jane and Jamie have built a contemporary new build home, complete with beautiful handpainted bespoke kitchen, perfect for family life.

Within a year of purchasing their property, Sara-Jane and Jamie decided to demolish the whole house and start from scratch. ‘I wanted to move within walking distance of my parents and the only property we could find needed a huge renovation. We lived in the old bungalow for a year whilst waiting for planning to come through and then demolished the whole thing. We really loved the idea of building a brand new contemporary style home, so we did just that.’ explains Sara-Jane.

Parents to three children, Sara-Jane and Jamie have a busy home life, so they wanted to design a kitchen which would not just complement the home but also be extremely practical for everyday living. ‘The kitchen was at the top of our renovation agenda – this is the place where we do most of our socialising as a family and we wanted it to be the heart of our home.’ With the aim of contemporary family friendly kitchen in mind, they set out to find the perfect team to make their dream a reality. ‘We looked online and in magazines for inspiration. We also went along to a few showrooms to gather up ideas but we hadn’t been bowled over by a designer until we visited Interior 360’s impressive showroom.’ The couple immediately felt on par with designer Paul Mason. ‘Paul really understood our vision, making the whole design process an enjoyable experience. He was instrumental in helping us decide on the style and layout of the kitchen.’
