Over to Gemma...

I love how the living room is on the same level as the garden, when the sliding doors are open it feels like one big indoor-outdoor room. I’ve been bold with the décor in here, painting the walls and ceiling dark to match the frames on the sliding doors, enhancing the view.

the furniture is a mishmash of old and new as we didn’t have much money left when the build went over budget. We got creative with upcycled and second-hand furniture. one of my favourite pieces is the

£20 coffee table from a salvage yard, which I sprayed gold.

We wanted the kitchen to feel separate from the living area so I loved the idea of having steps down. People comment on the geometric splashback as they presume it’s tiles, but I created it myself using tester pots and masking tape. I love terrazzo mosaics so that’s my inspiration, and it ties in with the pink ombre and green walls nearby.
