COME ON IN...

WE ARE Jade Woodend, a fashion buyer. I live here with my husband, Daniel, a loft conversion specialist, and our two boys, Harry, four, and Charlie, one.

OUR HOME IS A four-bedroom, 1950s terrace in Hertfordshire.

MY TOP TIP Have extra savings put by – building work and refurbishment always costs so much more than you think.

MY FAVOURITE ROOM IS Without doubt, the kitchen-diner. It’s such a sociable space and it feels like a luxury to have somewhere to entertain friends and family.

FOR INSPIRATION I tend to scour Instagram and Pinterest – once we’d completed the extension, it prompted me to start my own interiors page @home_on_the_commons
