Lily and Daniel found a way to have the kitchen that they both dreamed of, thanks to Wren

Two different tastes, one beautiful kitchen

When Lily Edwards and her partner Daniel Potter, along with their golden doodle, Oakley, moved into their 1930s semi in Kent in 2019, they immediately decided that the kitchen would be the first room they would renovate. Even though the entire house needed some TLC, the kitchen would be the focal point of their home as they wanted a sociable space to welcome friends and family. 'Daniel has a massive family, and I am also very family oriented, and we love to have friends over for dinners and parties,' Lily explains.

Here, as part of the #Wrenovation series, which shines a spotlight on real customer kitchen renovations, the couple share how Wren helped them to create a kitchen that they both love.

WHICH STYLE?

Lily and Daniel both enjoy home styling, and Lily says that Daniel is particularly talented when it comes to design. There was no room that didn't get some of Daniel's magic as he goes around and sparks everything up, making it pretty,' she says. Although when it came to the kitchen, the pair had different creative visions. Lily dreamed of a space with a strong industrial vibe featuring an exposed brick wall, colours to complement the brick slips, a Belfast sink and oak worktops. Daniel, meanwhile, wanted shiny and modern laminate surfaces and was pushing for blue coloured cupboards and quartz worktops.
