Open-plan living had suited Susann and her family in their previous home, so they remodelled this house in the same way. A huge rug breaks up the smart wooden floor and adds warmth and texture, while an over-sized floor lamp creates a striking focal point.
Kitchen breakfast area
Susann's French-style dresser sits beautifully alongside a modern dining table and pendant light, revealing her love of mixing old and new. Her decoupage chairs are full of character and add a burst of colour.

Kitchen diner
The open-plan feel continues into Susann's kitchen, where she has chosen unfussy white units, smartened up with walnut worktops. A slim wine cooler creates a sleek designer feel.
Dining room extension
The extension provides a lovely light and airy spot for the dining table and chairs. Again, Susann has mixed traditional and modern styles with confidence. The large rug helps define the area.

Bedroom
Adding a balcony to the bedroom was an inspired decision for Susann; it is wonderful to open the doors in the summer. A neutral scheme creates a suitably calm feel in this room, warmed up by a textured rug and striking artwork.

Bathroom
Susann's bathroom has a luxurious feel thanks to marble wall tiles and sleek black mosaic tiles on the floor and side of the bath. A frameless shower screen helps stop the small room feeling closed in.
