Inspired by the rural location, the owners of this pretty Victorian house decided to extend their small kitchen and demolish interior walls to create a big open-plan living space. This before shot shows the kitchen prior to the extension.

The door and drawer knobs are painted in the same blue tone of the dining room table.

For a similar colour try Herringbone from Crown Paints. The slate floor tiles are from Silverland Stone.

A stable door, painted to complement the mantel and dining table, continues the country theme.

For a similar door try the Stable Cottage door from Kershaws Door Warehouse. It is painted in Ultramarine Ashes from Fired Earth.

The owners opted for neutral units and worktops to keep the kitchen as light as possible.

The granite worktop is from Surrey Furniture. The farmhouse sink is from Villeroy & Boch.

The owners chose the floral blinds and the green slate flooring to echo the teal tiles in the chimmey breast.

For similar blind fabric try Notting Hill in Duck Egg Blue from Fabricaz.

The curved units not only add extra storage space, but also prove practical as the sharp corners are no danger to young children.

The fridge-feezer is housed in the dining area along with extra built-in storage.

Despite the lack of wall units there is plenty of cleverly designed storage space, including slim pull-out drawers next to the hob.

A false chimney was built to make a feature of the cooker, then the owners used a bold teal for the tiles behind. The work, which included the extension, took six months and cost around £30,000.

The Neptune Chichester units are from Surrey Furniture.
