The kitchen brings Laura’s love of colour and texture to life. ‘I’m over the moon with it,’ says Laura. ‘It’s just a really cool space to be in and we spend most of our time in here.’

From the pink island to the neon sign, the kitchen is bursting with personality. ‘Jonny loves cooking on a Friday night,’ says Laura. ‘I’ll be drinking a cocktail and we’ll have the neon light on. I just love it.’

Laura added a strip of terracotta paint to help zone the dining area in the kitchen. Taking it right up to the ceiling gives an almost canopylike feel. ‘I plan to hang a pendant light above the table, too,’ she says.
