Bold shapes and retro detailing enliven a 1930s end-of-terrace
K Space was invited to shake things up a little in this quotidian 1930s home and we took that brief and ran with it – out went an underused garage, replaced with a playful, informal gentlemen’s club-meets-industrial-games room. We riffed on the prior use of the space by using utilitarian materials, including chipboard to create a ‘lidded’ ceiling, exposed filament light fittings, polished cement flooring and painted breezeblock walls, complemented by a simple bar area made from raw wood shelving. We also reworked the first-floor bathroom, borrowing space from the landing and cloakroom to create a separate shower and bathing area, finished in terrazzo, with monochrome tapware for a graphic touch.
“Krys took our ideas, elevated them, and delivered two spaces we absolutely love. She understood our style, pushed us in the best way, and made the whole process exciting. Now we just need another project to work with her again!”

“We had a vision but no idea where to start—Krys made it happen. She reimagined our bathroom and transformed our garage into the ultimate games room. The results? Better than we ever imagined.”
