Islington Home

This Islington project needed plenty of interior architecture to maximise the space and make the house work harder for family life. 

One half of the lovely couple I worked with was an upholsterer so colour and pattern were always going to play a big part. The result feels bold yet serene, practical for family living and full of personality.

The baby blue cabinetry in the kitchen was on one of the very first mood boards for my Islington project and it just stuck. Playful, unexpected and perfectly balanced by earthy terracotta, blush pinks and burgundy tones. 

Because the kitchen sits on a lower ground floor with only a few original features, we kept the joinery clean and modern with a subtle 50s influence. Minimal Formica-fronted doors, a bold checkerboard splashback and the client’s much-loved pendant lights make it feel vibrant yet calm. 

The mix of colour, texture and light creates a kitchen that feels welcoming, serene and full of personality. I wanted it to be timeless, with elevated details that make the space feel considered and unique.
