Total project cost: £332,000
With successful careers in advertising, Beri and Jules knew the importance of a well-thought-out design concept. So, when it came to renovating their Victorian home in Wandsworth, they had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve.
As well as modernising the interior design, they were keen to improve light in the rear of the house, sympathetically marry any new design with the original period features, and maximise the usable space. A side-return and rear extension was added to the property to house a new open-plan kitchen-diner.

These light painted cabinets make the space look even brighter, and the trio of glass pendant lights are from Holloways of Ludlow
The flooring which remains the same throughout is from Pietra, and the reclaimed pillar that adds a traditional charm is from English Salvage
Architects Granit designed the extension to the couple’s detailed brief, which included the Belgian-style patio doors from Fabco. The garden was landscaped once the construction was complete
Combining different styles of dining chairs creates an eclectic look. The couple sourced them from Cox & Cox, John Lewis and second-hand furniture shops. The wooden table is from salvationfurniture.co.uk
