From Planning to Completion: A Family Home Renovation in London

“They Supported Us Through Every Step”: A Family Home Renovation Story in London

Renovating a home is never just about walls, layouts, or finishes. For this London family, it was about creating a space that truly felt like home — warm, practical, and designed around everyday family life.

From the outset, the homeowners were clear on what they needed: a house that worked for a growing family, where every corner had a purpose and comfort was never compromised.

Designing a Home Around Family Life

The brief focused on balance. The home needed to feel open and connected, yet still offer privacy and calm. The design introduced three bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own ensuite, two children’s rooms, and a flexible study that could easily transform into a guest room when needed.

A family bathroom with a bathtub was essential, alongside a separate utility space to keep daily routines organised and clutter-free.

Living areas were carefully rethought to improve flow and natural light. By connecting the living room and kitchen through large windows and sliding glass doors opening onto the garden, the home gained a bright, airy feel — one that naturally draws the family together throughout the day.

Thoughtful Details That Make Everyday Life Easier

Beyond the layout, it was the smaller details that made the biggest difference.

Built-in storage was integrated throughout the house, from clever under-stair solutions to optimised landing spaces, ensuring everything has its place without disrupting the clean, modern aesthetic.

Material choices were equally considered. Warm wooden floors run through most of the home, with tiles in wet areas and soft carpets in the children’s rooms. Underfloor heating, improved insulation, and soundproofing were introduced to create a home that feels comfortable, quiet, and welcoming all year round.

Outside, the garden was redesigned as an extension of the living space — private yet light-filled — allowing the family to enjoy a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors.

A Supportive Process from Start to Finish

For the homeowners, having the right team in place was just as important as the design itself.

We Love Build supported the project from the earliest stages, including pre-application discussions and meetings with the local council. Planning approval was secured before construction began, providing clarity, confidence, and a clear roadmap for delivery.

Throughout the build, the team remained flexible and responsive, adapting to new ideas and changes while keeping timelines and budgets in mind.

“Highly recommend We Love Build for their support in making our home. They have been very professional and supported us through the whole process. They were also incredibly patient every time we wanted to incorporate something new or make changes to the initial plan, and they always worked with us to find the best ways to integrate our requests in the design, while keeping in mind our time budget constraints.”

The Outcome: A Home That Truly Works

The result is a harmonious, light-filled family home that blends style, comfort, and practicality. Open living spaces connect effortlessly to the garden, bedrooms offer calm and privacy, and every element — from storage to finishes — has been carefully thought through.

Most importantly, the home now reflects the family’s lifestyle and values, proving that with the right support and design-led approach, a large-scale renovation can be both rewarding and transformative.
