A new extension creates a larger kitchen, dining and living space and adds lots of light from the partially glazed roof and bi-fold doors. A carefully chosen palette of soft greens, mustard yellows and warm blues, along with touches of copper and brass combine to make a welcoming living space.

Striking geometric patterns run throughout the design, giving the eye something interesting to see in every direction.

Pops of colour added inside the stove surround, on the tiled splashback and in the accessories turn this space into something unexpected and special.

The textures, colours and patterns of the design soften the harder lines of the kitchen area, and visually link it with the cosier lounge area, making the whole space work.
