Amira wanted the kitchen to be sociable and the heart of the ground floor, rather than an isolated spot for cooking. Mixing different-sized cupboards and draws meant that the shaker-style kitchen felt less boxed in and more homely. The aged brass detailing on the taps and hardware with a fluted sink further enhances the style, while clear glazed tiles provide an earthy splashback. She found some discounted pieces of marble offcuts for the sink run and kitchen island.
‘After styling interiors for a decade, I finally got to create my dream home’
Amira had been renting a flat in the heart of Notting Hill for several years when she started her search for a period property to buy in London. What started as a tired two-bedroom, two-storey house with a closed-off kitchen, has become a vibrant three-bedroom home with three bathrooms, with an extra floor at the top. She was determined to put her own spin on a traditional Victorian house conversion and wanted her home to reflect her passion for the colours of the Mediterranean.
