Modern romance living room
This living room has an area for lounging in front of the TV (tucked in an alcove to the right of the mirror) that’s perfect for DVD nights in, but there are also nooks for all the family, and the modular sofa is ideal for sitting together and chatting. The couple have kept the shell of the space simple so the focus is on the furnishings, antique lights and mirror.
Get the Look: The sofa is from The Conran Shop, the ottoman is from Tann-Rokka and the cushions and rug can be found at The Rug Company.

Cosy living room snug
This inviting living room area is perfect for chilling out at the end of the day. The sofa and chairs are upholstered in silky velvet fabric, so they’re extra comfy. Style isn’t sacrificed for comfort, though, with luxe furnishings used to soften the industrial vibe of the reclaimed printing press shelving and table.
Get the Look: The sofa and chairs are from Liberty. The cushion is from The Rug Company and the pendant light is available at Icône. The shelving unit is from Retrouvius.

Large white and wood kitchen
This kitchen is designed to accommodate a large family who like to entertain, with plenty of storage and work space. The couple have used old science lab tables as low-level kitchen work surfaces – complete with Bunsen burner holes and graffiti scrawl. A walk-in storage unit next to the kitchen stores larger items, such as the washing machine and fridge.
Get the Look: Find reclaimed teak for worktops and stone flooring at Lassco, this sink at Fired Earth and a range cooker like this at AGA.

Eclectic home office
This home office has bags of personality. Although the space is small, every inch is packed with items that inspire ideas – from the lamp and ceiling light to books, pictures, drawings, insects and collected treasures. Task lighting is crucial in a home office, so they opted for an adjustable floor lamp that will provide light but not get in the way.
Get the Look: The old school desk is from Castle Gibson and the floor lamp is from Caravan.

Victorian-style bathroom
This bathroom highlights how a mix of materials and details can work together – an ornate chandelier set against a backdrop of utility tiles, period fittings and a contemporary glass screen, together with the unexpected luxury of a Victorian fireplace. Deciding against a shower cubicle means the bathroom almost has the feel of a wetroom.
Get the Look: The bath and WC are from Drummonds. Buy similar bath and shower mixers from Holloways of Ludlow.
