Forget what estate agents tell you about the number of bedroom or bathrooms in a property. For the last few years we have come across a trend that seems to have a greater impact on our clients, their comfort and ultimately their buyers - turning spare bedrooms into Master Bedroom en-suite. This is one of those examples where you can see the before and after images of the same space. To achieve this we had to relocate the access to the shower/dressing room from the hallway to the Master Bedroom. Mindful of our clients’ clashing work schedules we soundproofed the space, installed a double access door to make the space more welcoming, integrated layered mood lighting including a reflected LED light in the ceiling shadow gap. A concealed sound system contribute to the spa feel of the space and revamped the existing wardrobes with new doors and integrated sensor lighting increase the functionality of the space. We refreshed the existing fireplace for that added luxe feel and blend of old and new.

This year, we’ve curated something extra special: a gift guide celebrating companies founded and run by women. These small businesses are brimming with soul, passion, and that magical creative spark that makes their offerings unforgettable. From handcrafted wares to innovative services, each pick carries the kind of thoughtfulness we love to infuse into our designs—and gift-giving, too. We hope you’ll find as much joy in shopping from these gems as we did discovering them. 💫
Happy shopping, and here’s to supporting creativity with heart! Check comments for links 👇

Also from our Hammersmith project this transformation from a dated kitchen into a bright, airy and functional space. Notice the rugs on the tiled floor in the “before” image? The kitchen was uncomfortably cold and made for an uninviting place. We replaced the windows with energy performant glazing and added underfloor heating and a wooden floor and guess what - it became an ideal place for entertaining and the focal point for family gatherings. We also turned the understairs area into a custom-built utility room and pantry where everything has a designated space.

It is a complex undertaking and It’s not for the faint hearted but if you have a vision and are thinking of renovating your bathroom yourself here is something to help you plan your DIY project. This is a project where you’ll need to garner your creative skills when designing the space, architectural aptitudes to ensure the space is functional (and there is sufficient room to move around) and project manager side when you schedule the trades (plumbers, electricians, tilers) and you oversee their work. Good luck! 🛁

Would you flip your layout for a more functional home? Our clients for this project in West London have and relocated their living room to make way for a Master Bedroom with en-suite dressing room and home office. Back-to-back and floor-to-ceiling custom made wardrobes were used to separate the different functions of the space, creating distinct zones for sleep, work and relaxation. The side of the bespoke wardrobe was clad in an oversize floor to ceiling 3 m high mirror to further open up the space. The access door to the space was also relocated facing the mirror to create the illusion of a larger hallway.

🏠Pro Tip: Renovating a bathroom is all about timing and teamwork. A general contractor can manage the job and the trades but you can do a lot of the work yourself and only rely on specialists for the job-negotiable stuff like electrics and plumbing - at least you now know what order you need to carry out the works!

Before and after transformation - who says a dining area can’t be stylish AND practical? We turned a cluttered corner into an organised haven with a space-saving dining bench complete with concealed storage. The sustainable and easy to maintain furniture and furnishings can handle everything from dinner parties to toddler antics.
This space isn’t just for eating - it’s for living, laughing and making memories!
