Giving a new personality
After a couple of years in our new house we decided we needed to make some changes. Remodelling the kitchen was a priority – we wanted better access to the garden and to separate the cooking and seating area in the space.
We came across Adrian through friends and asked for an initial consultation. We talked in detail about our plans for the kitchen and also about future projects in our home, which included changes to the utility room, new bathrooms, and built-in furniture for the living room and dining room.
The kitchen was a great success – Adrian’s design gave us a new breakfast area, separated by an island unit from the main kitchen and wonderful colours in the splash-backs and marble surfaces - we all love cooking & living in the new kitchen.
We went on to use Adrian’s designs for the bathrooms – with his input we have managed to reclaim lots of spaces which would otherwise have been unused – for example areas under the pitched roof in our loft room en suite and shelving above the toilets.
Our living room was transformed – we have a built-in fireplace using a beautiful and characteristic reclaimed Victorian grate which Adrian sourced from a local supplier and as we have a lot of books Adrian designed purpose-made shelves, the design of which pick up a small detail from the fireplace surround which gives a wonderful sense of harmony to the room.
With Adrian’s advice on colour and furnishings, our house now has a personality and we are very grateful for his vision, which allowed us to create our home.
