So with both the sea and the countryside around us, she suggested we take our design cues from here.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The property &#8211; a five-bedroom, double-fronted Victorian semi over three floors in Brighton, East Sussex &#8211; was near to where the couple already lived. As it had been empty for over two years, it was also eligible for a tax reduction on the project, which was to massively help toward the renovation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"Wilson house outside\" class=\"wp-image-23846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-outside.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: James French <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018It presented such a fantastic opportunity for us to create our forever home,\u2019 recalls Amanda. \u2018However, Oliver and I had no experience of this scale of renovation, but like anything, if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, then you bring in a specialist.\u2019<\/p><div class=\"goodh-content\" id=\"goodh-357678715\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\"><div class=\"goodh-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><!--noptimize--><figure class=\"wp-block-grvmedia-grv-video GRVVideoPrimis\">\r\n\t<div class=\"GRVVideo-wrapper\"><\/div>\r\n<\/figure><!--\/noptimize--><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Their new neighbours recommended local architects Archangels, so the couple met with the team and explained how they wanted to create a bigger kitchen by connecting it with the current utility room at the back of the house. This space had a low roof so posed a few problems, and the couple also wanted to convert the loft, so the company suggested maximising the architectural effect of light and space with large amounts of glazing, which would in turn strengthen the connection with the newly designed garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-sofa-window-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Wilson house sofa window\" class=\"wp-image-23850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-sofa-window-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-sofa-window-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-sofa-window-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-sofa-window-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-sofa-window-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-sofa-window.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: James French <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The house was pretty big compared to our previous Victorian semi, and we didn\u2019t really know how to make best use of the space,\u2019 admits Amanda. \u2018We needed hand-holding the entire way, which was why we decided to bring Emma Capron in, after seeing her work on Houzz.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Emma is an interior architectural designer, the couple discovered that spacial planning was an important part of her strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Emma has two grown-up children herself, and was able to share her experience of how the needs of a house change as they grow,\u2019 explains Amanda. \u2018It was such good advice \u2013 as we have a layout that suits the here and now, but will also work when the girls become young adults.\u2019<\/p><div class=\"goodh-content_2\" id=\"goodh-4108630060\"><div class=\"goodh-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><!--noptimize--><div class=\"GRVMpuWrapper mobile\"><div class=\"GRVAd inline mobile\" data-ad-type=\"primary-mpu\" data-ad-label=\"mpu\" data-ad-sizemapping=\"primary-mpu\" data-ad-sizes=\"[[300,250],[300,600],[320,480]]\" data-ad-refreshmapping=\"always\"><\/div><\/div><!--\/noptimize--><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"Wilson house lounge\" class=\"wp-image-23848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-lounge.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: James French <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The architects and Emma worked closely together, working on bespoke storage configurations, plus walls to create more space in other rooms. The couple also wanted to fit a large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/living-room\/sofa-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corner sofa<\/a> into the new family room, but the layout proved tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018We didn\u2019t want to retain the original fireplace so Emma suggested we take out the chimney breast,\u2019 says Amanda. \u2018This also resolved a problem in our bedroom above, as I wanted our bed to face the door in case the children needed me in the night. So we now have a clear wall to place the headboard against.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changes were also made to the kitchen and dining-room layouts, where Emma proposed swapping the cooking and eating areas around to create a better flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Originally, the kitchen was between the family and dining room at the back, but it was a thoroughfare and too narrow for an island,\u2019 says Amanda. \u2018We can\u2019t believe how well it works now.\u2019<\/p><div class=\"goodh-prop-primary-mpu\" id=\"goodh-2768540475\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;margin-right: 0px;display: block;clear: both;width: 300px;\"><div class=\"goodh-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><!--noptimize--><div class=\"GRVMpuWrapper\">\r\n\t<div class=\"GRVAd inline\" data-ad-type=\"primary-mpu\" data-ad-label=\"mpu\" data-ad-sizemapping=\"primary-mpu\" data-ad-refreshmapping=\"always\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div><!--\/noptimize--><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-kitchen-window-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Wilson house kitchen window\" class=\"wp-image-23847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-kitchen-window-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-kitchen-window-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-kitchen-window-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-kitchen-window-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-kitchen-window-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-kitchen-window.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: James French <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The final design changes involved relocating the utility room to the first floor, which allowed the downstairs room to be rebuilt and extended to the side, creating a bigger open-plan kitchen. The architects also advised digging down to increase the head height of the space, bringing all the ceiling heights in line with each other. The team managed Amanda and Oliver\u2019s planning application as well, and recommended three building contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018We went with a company called Build My Home as we really liked the owner, Michael Ford,\u2019 says Amanda. \u2018He understood our design concept, and when we went with Emma to look at their previous work, the finished quality was really high.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the build process, the couple went through their decorating ideas with Emma, with a goal to working towards buying new artwork and furniture to give their rooms a contemporary look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Using Emma\u2019s style prompts helped us to unlock our love for living in Brighton, which became the hook for the whole house,\u2019 says Amanda.<\/p><div class=\"goodh-prop-in-content-mpu_2\" id=\"goodh-2195674756\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;margin-right: 0px;display: block;clear: both;width: 300px;\"><div class=\"goodh-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><!--noptimize--><div class=\"GRVMpuWrapper mobile\">\r\n\t<div class=\"GRVAd inline mobile\" data-ad-type=\"mpu\" data-ad-sizes=\"[[300,250]]\" data-ad-refreshmapping=\"always\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div><!--\/noptimize--><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is shaped by strong architectural details, plus a modern aesthetic with a nod to Victorian pastels, as well as references to the coast and countryside. A simple base of neutral walls and floors run throughout, infused with furnishings and accessories in tonal sky blues, sea and silvery blue-greens with pops of pink. Repeats in lighting, wood hues and fabric draw the three floors together for a cohesive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018One of my favourite things is the Ian Mankin striped fabric that\u2019s like a fun deckchair print,\u2019 says Amanda. \u2018It\u2019s used in the window seats in the kitchen, family room and the girls\u2019 bedrooms, and although the pink, blue and mint colourways are different, I really like how the pattern co-ordinates the different rooms in the house.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"Wilson house child bedroom\" class=\"wp-image-23852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.goodhomesmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Wilson-house-child-bedroom.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: James French <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The family purchased the property in 2020, and moved into their forever home 15 months after the project began.
