    ‘My boyfriend says that the rectangular dining table, only
£40 from IKEA, looks like a wallpaper pasting table, but I
actually like that look of repurposing something, and it
folds away, which is really handy’

    Home makeover: ‘Renting has made me more creative’

    The glossy Santini units from B&Q reflect the natural light to brighten the open-plan layout. Sarah chose quartz worktops from Planet Granite to tie the two-tone kitchen together, and wood-effect vinyl oak flooring from UK Flooring Direct for durability and style

    ‘We bought the whole kitchen in the
sale from Wren, including the units, 
worktops and all the appliances. It made 
it so much cheaper and also easier 
to plan than getting everything from 
individual suppliers’

    ‘We feel really lucky to have such 
a fun space in our home,’ Siobhan 
says. ‘During lockdown, I really 
missed the whole process of

space for date nights with Nick and 
future catch-ups with my besties’

    ‘At £8,000, the bi-fold aluminium doors were the biggest
expense of the whole project. Because of the high ceilings, 
they had to be made bespoke. It was worth it though, as I 
love being able to open the doors fully onto the landscaped 
courtyard. The island stools were a bargain from Dunelm’

    A length of hexagonal tiles creates a runway effect right through
the ground floor from the rear cloakroom to the front hall. 
The design has been echoed in the diamond shapes of the drawer 
fronts, which were cut to the same proportions for a matching look

    Kitchen makeover: ‘I didn’t need an extension after all’

    ‘The dining area has the lovely original parquet, but the kitchen was
concrete so we had to work out how to make them complement
each other. We did consider having the same flooring throughout,
but when I saw these floor tiles in Wickes, I thought that actually
using them to zone the two areas was a good idea’
