The design by Studio Vitor has transformed a dated, dark home into an open space that works perfectly for the family that lives there.
When the owners of this home, a couple with young children approached Sarah Vitor, founder and creative director ofAs well as being dated, Sarah explains, the floorplan also didn’t work for modern family life at all. “
Based between Dungarvan in Ireland and London in the UK, Sarah has plenty of experience in working with clients to create their perfect space. In this case, structural work was necessary on the ground floor to reorganise the layout.On the ground floor, we rearranged the entire layout and flow,” Sarah explains. “We opened up the walls between the entrance hall and old kitchen, and between the sitting room and old dining room.
Storage was also important, so a pantry was added under the stairs, as well as additional storage in the utility room, taking clutter away from the kitchen. The kitchen has a clean, simple design. “We chose a beautiful Calacatta Arabescato marble and included elements like a marble shelf above the sink area and a large island unit with dropped sides also in marble for added interest, combined with the contrasting timber elements to the shelving unit for added warmth.”
“The sitting room was our main focus of rich and strong colours,” Sarah says, “as we introduced a darker shade of green on the custom-made shelving unit, a warm and textured natural rug, colour and pattern on the soft furnishing such as throws and scatter cushions and of course the added layer of books and accessories.
