INSIDER INFO
THE HOMEOWNER Sarah Purchase, 39, co-owner of Borrowed Light Floral Studio, a florist and plant shop (borrowedlightflorals.com and @borrowedlightflorals), who lives with daughters, Hazel and Ailsa, and partner, Alex.
THE HOUSE A four-bedroom Victorian house in South Woodford, East London.
THE PROBLEM The kitchen was awkward, dark, and lacked storage – but we didn’t have the option to extend.
THE SOLUTION By opening up the entrance, and adding a glass door looking out onto the garden, the room feels so much bigger.
