Previous pages & above: “My kitchen was inspired by the kitchen in the TV show, Dr Foster,” says Charlotte. The units are from Ikea and Charlotte and Sam added a quartz worktop to give it a feeling of luxury my husband Sam and I bought our first house together and I kind of fell into it. We did a small extension to that property and I took on the interiors. Luckily my husband is very practical with DIY but entirely colour blind, so he left me to do all the decorating, which was great!” Having cut their teeth on their first house, Charlotte and Sam decided to move to a bigger project. Five years ago they bought a dormer bungalow in Ashtead and converted it into a three floor house, completely renovating it from top to toe, adding an extension and most recently a two bed attic conversation. “We’re hoping to sell the house now as I just want to get stuck into a new design project,” says Charlotte. “The main part of the house was done before I did Interior Design Masters – the upper floor and nursery were done after the show and I feel like I had so much more confidence and I think you can see it in my choice of fabrics and colours. It’s all my style still, but with the new bedrooms, well they are a bit more adventurous in the design and more colourful, whereas the rest of the house is more neutral with pops of colour. I think I learnt to trust my instincts and those bedrooms are an homage to what I learnt in that process.” The entire house was gutted and the living space reconvened by Charlotte and Sam. To the back of the house is now a fantastic open plan family kitchen, dining and sitting area with large skylight and sliding doors which flood the space with natural light. “We spend most of our time in here, it’s a great room for family life,” says Charlotte, who also has two dogs as part of her growing family. The far wall of the kitchen features a bold exposed brick wall, created from slips. “I wanted a brick wall but when I realised the builders were using block and not brick for the extension, I had to work out a way to create the look I was after, so I ended up using brick slips. They were difficult to put on and as you can see, the grouting is cement, so it’s a bit trickier than normal tile grout as you can’t just wipe it off and make it pretty. But I wanted an industrial feel – something modern as we use this room a lot – so I think the effort was worth it.” “My kitchen was inspired by the kitchen in the TV show, Dr Foster,” says Charlotte. “The units are Ikea, I love Ikea for kitchens as they are so cost effective and always look great. We added a quartz worktop to give it a feeling of luxury. I wanted a contrast between the island and the rest of the units so we added a real wood top and black doors to give it some definition. The walls are done in a very pale grey and I use accessories on the shelves to add colour, in fact I made the shelves myself out of planks, which I then varnished. The three amber glass pendant lights are from Matalan, which is a bit of a go-to for me for lighting.” By the dining area is a sumptuous blue velvet sofa from Sofology, Charlotte took the colours from the rug from Nuloom to act as a source for the rest of the room. “The blue chairs I bought from Amazon and the two end feature chairs are the classic Ghost chair from John Lewis.
