This London home refurbishment was carried out for a busy professional family with young children. Set in an excellent location, within easy reach of the best of central London, the house needed to work as a calm family base as well as a home that suits a fast paced city life.

The kitchen is the centrepiece of the house. Designed in a classic contemporary style, it features a quartz worktop with a waterfall edge to the island, giving a striking focal point that is also hard wearing and easy to look after. It was planned as the place where the family comes together, from quick breakfasts before school to relaxed weekend meals.

Throughout the house, the design balances timeless elegance with the practical needs of young children. Durable finishes, bespoke furniture and plenty of well planned storage sit alongside layered soft furnishings that keep each room warm and inviting.

Samantha Wren Interiors managed every element of the refurbishment, from the design and specification through to installation, giving the family a home that is both beautiful and easy to live in.
