The owners of this beautiful Victorian house just a stone throw from Finsbury Park wanted to inject some colour and playfulness into their home. They are both vintage lovers and were keen for us to source accordingly. The couple wanted us to create a memorable space to host guests as well as beautiful and practical bedrooms for them and their daughter.

Encaustic-inspired floor tiles carry personality throughout the space. Styled with rattan accessories and graphic black hardware.
This small but striking bathroom is full of character — blending vibrant encaustic-style tiles with warm mustard walls and handcrafted oak furniture. The design celebrates colour, craft, and cultural influence, creating a joyful space that's as functional as it is visually rich.
Featuring a walk-in shower with custom bench seat, handmade tilework across floor and walls, a statement vanity in natural wood and deep burgundy, and playful touches like black brassware and a recessed window shelf for styling.

“A bold artistic expression, it radiates a unique and inimitable charm that captivates at first glance.”
Set within a charming period property in the village of Shillington, Hertfordshire, this kitchen was designed to capture the romance, colour, and character of our clients’ time spent in Italy. Their love for the country and the many memories made there became the driving inspiration for this warm, vibrant, and timeless space.
Opting for our In-Frame Shaker cabinetry, the clients embraced its classic proportions and enduring style, having it hand-painted in Farrow & Ball Cooks Blue – a vivid hue reminiscent of the Mediterranean, chosen to perfectly complement the magnificent Smeg x Dolce & Gabbana Range Cooker. The cabinetry is elevated further with Hendel & Hendel Belgravia polished nickel handles, offering a refined and timeless finishing touch.
The kitchen follows an L-shaped layout anchored by a central rectangular island, complete with an elevated solid oak breakfast bar stained in Rubio Cotton White – the ideal gathering spot for casual dining or morning coffee.
The Smeg x Dolce & Gabbana Range Cooker and matching extractor hood form the heart of the design, turning cooking into a work of art. This limited-edition collaboration celebrates all things Made in Italy, featuring the Divina Cucina collection’s bold colours and intricate patterns inspired by Sicilian majolica ceramicware. The Chimney Hood proudly wears the vibrant Dolce & Gabbana print, making it a true statement piece and a fitting tribute to our client’s love for Italian culture and cuisine.
Alongside the statement range, the kitchen is equipped with Premium NEFF integrated appliances, including a fridge freezer and dishwasher, as well as a Caple Wine Cooler and Caple Microwave, all positioned for convenience.
The sink run features a Shaws Shaker double bowl paired with a Perrin & Rowe Phoenician widespread mixer with rinse in pewter, and a Quooker Nordic Round in stainless steel for instant boiling water. And not forgetting the bespoke over-window mantle that seamlessly connects the cabinetry, with integrated LED lighting adding both practical illusions and a refined design detail.
All surfaces are finished in Dekton Malibu, a porcelain worktop that brings a fresh, modern look, both stylish and durable, to this Italian-inspired hub.
Additional touches include a coffee station with reeded glass-fronted doors and jars filled with rich Italian coffee, and the tall, slim pantry cupboard is discreet yet provides generous storage. There are also deep drawers with custom inserts, a corner Le Mans, and a pull-out unit for cooking oils and spices.
This kitchen tells a beautiful story of the Mediterranean, bringing a slice of this into a quintessentially English home.

Our design featured a contemporary circular swim zone, surrounded by a concentric ring of regeneration zone on one side, bordered with a geometrically aligned deck. The pool utilises a hybrid filtration system, giving it the tranquil beauty of water plants while the biological filter takes care of most of the hard work. A marginal shelf of native perennials seamlessly transitions into a gravel garden surrounding the pool.
The deck, made from Brimstone ash, cleverly hides access hatches to the filtration system beneath. For the pool’s edge, we selected sawn sandstone coping with a soft bullnose finish, creating a contemporary yet elegant border where the swim zone meets the gravel garden. These clean lines give the circular pool a modern, polished look.
Positioned like a perfect lens of water within the garden, the pool complements the contemporary design of the property. It reflects the surrounding mature birch trees and the dramatic hues of the sunset, and is visible from every viewpoint in the house, making it the focal point of the landscape.

A modern U-shaped kitchen featuring handleless white cabinets with integrated natural wood detailing at the edges. The quartz countertops provide a durable and clean surface, while the backsplash seamlessly matches the countertop material. Large windows flood the space with natural light, enhancing its bright and airy atmosphere. The tiled floor in a subtle grey diamond pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming the minimalist design.

We painted the cabinets in French Grey to match the wall colour on this modern shaker project. The curved island seat 6 people as well as hiding the ovens from sight. The tall bank houses butler's pantry, appliance garage and home bar area. The vented hob means no wall extractor leaving room for a nice feature picture rail instead.

Master bedroom in an Edwardian Family Home in North London. We reconfigured the space and widened the chimney breast to accommodate a Superking bed for a boutique hotel feel.

This study room was created by removing a wall and replacing it with Crittall style folding glass doors opening up the space making it feel much larger. We built wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookcases for the client's many books and created a faux fireplace painted to look like black marble. A large white silk lamp shade hangs from the ceiling. A Gallery wall of art work and a mid century burnt orange wingback chair complete the room.

The bathroom is a compact space with low ceilings, so I wanted to make it feel as light and airy as possible. I kept the colours natural, adding texture and special luxurious touches with the terrazzo, sheer curtain, fluted glass, and tiles. These rich but subtle details catch your eye, making the room feel bigger.
The green glazed shower tiles pick up on the specks in the terrazzo floor tiles, and the Carrara marble skirting board adds luxury and creates another level of finish.
I specified ABI Interiors matching brassware. Their electric heated individual towel rails can be turned on and off whenever you need them to save energy. The shower controls are located just outside the shower enclosure, so you can turn the shower on in advance and let it warm up a little before you enter.
To maximise storage, I included an Aqua Roc basin with drawers underneath. The Carrara marble ledge and Tika Moon walnut wall unit provide even more space for my clients to stash things away.
The freestanding bath and circular Spark and Bell wall lights add softness and curves. The sheer curtain is mounted on a wave track to give a lovely, rippled effect.

A serene nursery design embraces a soft safari theme, blending natural textures with playful, animal-inspired details. A muted sage green accent wall sets a calming backdrop for the whimsical safari artwork adding a touch of adventure while maintaining a refined aesthetic. Thoughtful elements like the tasseled garland, cozy nursing chair and soft area rug create a nurturing atmosphere, while sheer curtains gently filter natural light. Designed to be both soothing and imaginative, this nursery offers the perfect blend of comfort and style.

This bespoke framed Shaker kitchen is painted in Little Greene's Aquamarine. The central island, topped in Horizon Carrara quartz, houses a sleek Bora induction hob with integrated extraction, along with a bank of drawers for maximum storage. Along the main run, a floating shelf spans the length of the wall above the sink, offering space for decorative styling and everyday essentials. Brass wall lights add warmth and character, casting a soft glow over the worktops and highlighting the subtle veining of the quartz splashback. Integrated NEFF appliances, a patinated brass Quooker tap, and Higham insert handles in aged brass complete the look, creating a calm, inviting kitchen that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

The brief was simple: give it life. The floors were sanded, repaired, and lightened. The warmer white applied to the walls paired nicely with the brighter floors. The glass balustrade for the staircase was replaced by a hip-high built-in library. Both bathrooms, although not photographed, were completely overhauled. New cupboards in both the master bedroom and guest bedroom bracket their respective pop of color: teal for the built-in desk in the guest bedroom and oak veneer for the drawers and shelves in the master bedroom.

The client wished to merge their existing kitchen with the dining room, aiming for an open-plan kitchen diner. We managed the construction aspect of this project, guaranteeing a smooth transition from the building work to the kitchen installation.
The kitchen was relocated to the newly opened area, enabling us to craft a functional and striking kitchen, complete with an island, ample storage, and extensive worktop space.
Additionally, we designed a window seat within the bay window section, which further enhances storage options.
