Medium Sized and Small Contemporary Home Design Photos

Having previously designed for these clients, we were delighted to work with them again as they undertook an extensive renovation and extension to create a more open, functional family home. The brief was to design a contemporary kitchen, utility and boot room that would seamlessly connect with the new living spaces while providing practical storage solutions for everyday family life. At the heart of the kitchen is a bespoke island featuring rich timber detailing and a beautifully textured stone worktop. A structural column, essential to the extension, was thoughtfully incorporated into the island design, transforming a practical requirement into an elegant architectural feature. A warm palette of taupe cabinetry, natural wood veneers and soft stone surfaces creates a calm and sophisticated aesthetic throughout. Clean lines, integrated storage and carefully considered materials ensure the space feels both inviting and effortlessly functional. The adjoining utility and boot room continue the same refined design language, incorporating extensive storage, integrated appliances and bespoke seating to support modern family living. To create continuity throughout the open-plan space, we also supplied a glazed display cabinet within the lounge area, providing an elegant place to showcase decorative pieces while complementing the kitchen's material palette. The result is a beautifully balanced home that combines contemporary design, practical functionality and timeless materials.

Our client’s young daughter’s room sits in the roof space, where low ceilings and added insulation for energy efficiency made planning the room a challenge. Every millimetre has been carefully designed to balance function with fun. The space is divided into two zones at opposite ends: Sleep zone – with enough head height to fit a wardrobe and drawers for everyday storage. Play & focus zone – designed around the pitched ceiling, with toy and book storage lining the walls to keep the central space clear for movement. A built-in window seat creates the perfect spot for cosy reading, while a larger rooflight brings in daylight and standing height above the desk. The bright colour palette is inspired by a cherished tapestry belonging to the client. Bold stripes create a playful canopy effect while cleverly drawing attention to the ceiling height. The result is a cosy, joyful room brimming with storage, functionality, and charm. A magical hideaway in the trickiest corner of the house.
