Homeowners Lara and Darren wanted a hardworking family kitchen that invoked a sense of calm, was practical as well as stylish and within a realistic budget. With the couple both being professionals with young children, it was really important that this space worked on all levels.
The property is a former gamekeeper's cottage in the heart of a Somerset village with plenty of original features, with the existing kitchen being far from ideal. 'It was a peach-toned, colour-blocked space that felt dated and anything but calming. We set out to transform it into a place we’d truly enjoy coming home to – a light, airy, welcoming environment that feels safe, uplifting, and quietly restorative,' says Lara.
