A bold kitchen extension and a home full of colour in Herne Hill
This red-brick period house kept its original hallway tiles, fireplaces and bay windows, and gained a light-filled kitchen extension at the back. Every room was then finished with its own strong colour and character.

The brief
A sociable kitchen opening onto the garden, more connection between the living room and the outdoors, and interiors with real personality rather than a plain neutral finish.
What we did
- Rear kitchen extension with black steel-framed glazing and a long angled rooflight
- Island clad in vertical oak slats, with brass pendants above
- Grey hexagon tiles that blend into herringbone oak where the kitchen meets the living space
- Built-in window seat looking onto the garden
- Living room opened up to a brick-walled courtyard through a full-height steel-framed screen
- Restored hallway with a red and black chequerboard floor
- Bathroom with a roll-top bath, botanical wallpaper and blue-and-white patterned floor
- Children's rooms with hand-painted wall designs, plus a games room with a period fireplace
The result
A family home that's practical at the back and full of personality throughout, with period features kept where they matter.
