We renovated each room from top to bottom. We started downstairs in the bedrooms after our tiler had laid the travertine tiles over the under floor heating. We installed the large fitted wardrobes with handle less white doors in each of the three bedrooms – the owners liked the simple lines – and we filled in the top of the wardrobe to stop dust collecting there and to meet that aesthetic. We agreed a combination of hanging space, drawers and shelves for each wardrobe.

The owners thought that one of the downstairs rooms would work well as a playroom or den for their children. We worked out a combination of presses and shelves that would be interesting to look at and decided on a bold colour scheme to bring a sense of fun. We also combined lift up and side opening doors along with corner units to maximise storage.

In the downstairs hallway, the owners had bookcases but we came up with an improved solution, installing 7mx2.4m floor to ceiling bookshelves, incorporating shelves over the doorways and curved smaller shelves in awkward spaces to maximise storage while preserving the width of the hallway.

Under the stairs, in consultation with the owners, we installed a combination of wardrobe and pull-out drawers as well as a neat desk area, which works sitting down as well as standing up, for the new normal of working from home.

Finally, we reconfigured the laundry area, stacking the washing machine and dryer and installing shelving. This was a bit of a challenge because of the narrow area but MFK managed to deliver what the owners wanted.

Upstairs was a different challenge because of the higher ceilings and the period features of the house are more in evidence. The owners saw MFK’s scaffold shelves projects and used that as inspiration for fitted shelving units in their reception rooms and a home bar and wine rack in their dining room. We stained them dark oak and chocolate brown and with the bold wall colours, they make quite a statement.

The owners had a back porch which they wanted remodelled. They saw our space saving bathroom solution and thought it might work as part a cloakroom with fitted storage units. MFK came up with the goods including full height storage with top box units, 2.5 meters of coat racks and a scaffold wood bench with drawers for more storage. There are also a tall in frame units with more drawers and shelves inside painted a custom blue colour. The space saving toilet was immeasurably enhanced with a new sliding barn style door which we salvaged from the building to restore it.

We left the in frame kitchen until last. We advised the owners that for their vision, an in frame kitchen would be best, and we delivered on that as well as three 2.8m open shelves, together with recessed lighting. The owners wanted to take advantage of the high ceilings so MFK came up with “the monolith”, with an integrated larder, integrated tall fridge and freezer and with storage above. We including cornicing on the units and over the range to match with the cornicing in the room and fitted an electric/gas range, a Belfast sink, dishwasher and pull out bins. The in frame kitchen was painted in brilliant white.

The floor tiles were handmade by a craftsman in Tipperary and they bring a rustic note which contrasts nicely with the modern looking units and the Dekton worktop by Miller Brothers.

As part of the job, we also found the time to dismantle an outdoor shed and recycle into a firewood store, tool store and a neat storage solution slotted into an outdoor alcove for the owners.

We really enjoyed the job; it took some time, but MFK delivered on every aspect and the owners are really happy with the result.

The main kitchen has quartz worktops from Stone Solutions in Wexford who done a beautiful job. The Belfast sink and taps, extractor are from Caple with a integrated microwave, American fridge, integrated bins, 3 drawer packs, le mans unit, integrated dishwasher and 900 tall wall units with clear glass.

The utility room has a tall pull out larder with a tall broom unit. boiler housing and wall units with the washing matching and dryer below.

The floors are herring bone engineered oak from Floor Design  with 14 internal doors, architrave and skirtings from Doors Ireland

We also fitted a bespoke radiator cover with 2 pull out drawers on top and wall panelling in the hall, stairs and landing. We loved creating this new kitchen design so let Modern Form Kitchens create your new designed kitchen with as much love as we did this project. Contact Martin today.

There was a bespoke dust grey kitchen added. There was a partition where the kitchen is situated now which was taken away to open out the kitchen and make it open plan living. The appliances and sink and taps are from Caple 

There is 6×6 porcelain tiles laid in the kitchen and hallway area to give a luxurious feel with the linen oak floors in the living space that compliment the tiles. All the tiles are from House of Tiles

The linen oak are extra long lengths to help with the feeling of space in the living room.

The 2 large bedrooms have seashell oak extra long boards from Floor Design which gives the rooms a relaxing mood.

The bathroom fixtures are from Sonas with a rain head shower and 1200 x 900 shower tray giving plenty of room for showering. There is a anthracite radiator and matching floating sink unit.

The apartment was painted with Dulux paints.

Next i build a stud wall and fitted plasterboard and cut a doors i made and sprayed specially for the shape of the frame.

The small space looks really well i think with the small subway tiles on the walls and the Victorian tiles on the ground. The grey grout really sets off the wall tiles.

The toilet has a tap in the cistern so when you wash your hands the waste water goes into the cistern to save water and it also saves space in such a tight area.

The light is on a sensor so every time you open the door the light automatically turns on and off after 60 seconds when you leave the toilet.

New electrical wiring in the house as the old wiring could prove dangerous in time.

The kitchen was very small so 2 walls were knocked to make the downstairs open plan plus frosted glass doors installed.

A lamp room grey from Farrow and Ball kitchen was installed with solid oak worktops and appliances from Caple including a 800mm double Belfast sink.

The floor is from Floor Design and it is the Grande linen oak range with 2 width boards used, 1 wide and 1 narrow plank and these are approx 8ft long so make the space look extra big.

The sitting room has wood paneling on the wall to add some depth and warmth to the room with LED uplights installed around the ceiling which can change colours by remote control, red bricks under the window to match the exterior of the house. The tv unit was custom made by Modern Form Kitchens and the furniture is from ez living.

The hall, stairs and landing has wainscoting painted white and a renaissance painted above the panels.

The bathroom has a 750×1000 shower tray with rain head plus a bath. There is a floating vanity unit with Morocian style tiles on the floor and 900×300 grey tiles with hexagonal design on them.

The apartment was fully stripped out with a new gloss handleless kitchen fitted, new Balterio laminate floor and painted throughout. The partition in front of the kitchen came down to make room for the island and make it an open plan layout.

The utility rooms were a small size so getting good photos was difficult but MFK and R made the most of the space making the units taller than standard units.

The doors were painted in colour trend and the doors made to match the main kitchen.

There is a joint between each sheet for expansion and contraction and sealed.

The rooms were studed out with 4×2 and insulated ready for ducting and electrics to be ran.
