SW6 House

SW6 House is a transformative kitchen renovation that redefined the heart of an existing family home through intelligent planning and elevated materiality. Working within the original extension footprint, Amy Drean Interiors focused on maximising functionality while enhancing the space’s character and longevity.

The layout supports modern family life and entertaining with ease. A generous central island provides preparation space, storage, and informal seating, while highly practical elements—including dual integrated dishwashers, a drinks cooler drawer, pull-out pantry storage, and fully integrated appliances—ensure the kitchen performs seamlessly on a daily basis.

Material choices balance softness with contrast. Bespoke shaker-style cabinetry in a muted blush tone brings warmth and individuality, complemented by full-height joinery that creates a calm, architectural backdrop. Black stone worktops ground the palette, and a gloss finish introduces a light, practical counterpoint. A bold black-and-white checkerboard stone floor adds graphic rhythm and timeless character throughout.

Layered lighting enhances both function and atmosphere, combining sculptural pendants, recessed ceiling lighting, and discreet task illumination. Brushed brass hardware and a multi-functional Quooker tap add a refined, jewellery-like finish, unifying the space.

The result is a kitchen that feels both confident and considered—highly functional yet elegant—demonstrating how thoughtful design within an existing footprint can transform the everyday experience of a home.
