In pursuit of a sleek, light-drenched and thoroughly modern home, Sara Mungeam radically remodelled and extended a 1950s house

Even though it had yellowing walls and brown carpets, this house was perfect for Joanna Thomson and her husband Ian

In the process of updating her 18th-century home, this owner found herself unexpectedly drawn to bright patterns and lively colours, bringing warmth and joy into the hubbub of their cosy family space

Compact kitchens can feel grand when thoughtful layouts, smart storage and standout materials are involved

For one family, renovating their kitchen unlocked light, space and a new way of living

TASKED WITH MODERNISING THIS GEORGIAN TOWNHOUSE, Studio Duggan USED CHARACTER AND COLOUR TO SERVE JUST THE RIGHT BALANCE OF OLD AND NEW
