Whether it’s a specific style, colour combination or special must-have features, most of us have some idea of how our dream kitchen would look. Making it a reality, however, is often another story. Luckily, that’s where the designers at Wren come in. Wren understands that everyone’s lifestyle is different, and that their kitchens needs to reflect this. No matter the size or layout of your kitchen, Wren will work closely with you to create a tailor-made design that’s as individual as you.
Here, as part of the #wrenovation series, which shines a spotlight on real customer renovations, Vicky and Graham share how Wren helped them make the most out of their space.
DREAM BIG
When they moved into their 20-year-old home in 2021 with their two children, Vicky and Graham immediately knew they wanted to renovate the kitchen, which was small and didn’t fit the needs of their family. The layout of the space was a particular problem, so they decided to build an extension, knocking down walls to combine the kitchen and lounge areas. But, beyond opening up the room, they were stuck for ideas on how to make it work. ‘The space was there but we wanted to adjust it to our family needs,’ explains Vicky.
