The extension, which houses Carolyn’s kitchen, is one of her favourite rooms. She kept the scheme bright and airy with off-white walls, then adding natural wood for warmth.

For her dining area in the open-plan kitchen-diner, Carolyn found some reclaimed chapel chairs and painted a reclaimed dresser top white to keep the scheme light and bright.

Carolyn uses lettering all around her house – for the kitchen she found wooden letters to spell out Cuisine and then painted them to match the wall. Smart wooden worktops add a warm feel.

To avoid her all-white bathroom looking too clinical, Carolyn added sparkling iridescent mosaic tiles. The sleek modern fittings work well in her period home.
