Francesca Swan

The £1,000 phone call that saved our dream kitchen

Kitchen with deep red cabinetry and deep red marble worktops and splashback below white marble wall.

Strategist and content creator Francesca Swan is one of Ideal Home's new Open House contributors, sharing her thoughts on the concept of 'Everything' and what makes a home special to you. See the rest of her articles here.

In the ongoing spirit of sharing the whole, unfiltered, unvarnished truth about our renovation experiences – the good, the bad and the downright ugly – please find for your entertainment, and possibly education, what I’ve pithily titled “The Curse of the Kitchen Marble”.
