Glamorous black and gold kitchen
Bursting with creativity and drama, this bold scheme by Reece and Paul of @littleedwardian is a masterclass in uniqueness. Subtle but smart neutral cabinetry allows an incredible black terrazzo countertop and splashback to take centre stage. Reece says: “Our breakfast bar is a real focal-point of the kitchen. The resin based terrazzo worktop is a statement piece, but we like to contrast textures by incorporating metallics in the kitchen.’

The daring vintage-style scheme is packed with quirky attention-to-deteil. A striking aged brass oven extractor fan cover balances the busy patterned splashback while ‘tube-style- gold finish wall lights echo the Art Deco vibe. Reece and Paul advise: “When transforming a space, it’s so important to think about all the little detail. Every view matters because we see space from different angles, so it’s important to think about the materials we use and the placement of things.”
Eclectic family kitchen
The patio doors flood the open-plan dining area with light to show off an array of quirky and original design ideas from Charlotte. An old ladder is suspended over the dining table to display hanging Edison lights and paper decorations. On the textured green feature wall, a pink neon typographic light looks super funky while trailing foliage ties in urban botanical vibes.
