STEP INSIDE...

WHO LIVES HERE? I’m Nadia Murdock, 25, a marketing manager, and I live with my husband, Crae, 26, in an Edwardian, two-bedroom flat in Woodford Green, Essex with our cat, Bumpkin. We moved in one year ago because we love the area and work close by.

WHAT WAS UPDATED? The whole kitchen was revamped with a fresh and light Scandi-feel kitchen. The units were ripped out and swapped for contemporary replacements and the old blue walls were painted and tiled in white instead, making the room feel much brighter.

WHY THE CHANGE? The old kitchen felt dated and dark in the small space, and the old blue wall tiles made the room feel small, tired and cramped.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE? It took three weeks from start to finish and there were no real hiccups.
