Family Home Renovation Projects in London, Kent & Surrey | Studio JKL

Victorian Family Home Renovation & Interior Design, East Dulwich

Studio JKL embraced the opportunity to assist the client on this refurbishment and extension project when planning and construction were already in progress. This presented a unique opportunity to demonstrate our exceptional problem-solving capabilities and rapid decision-making skills.

Our aim was to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing open-plan kitchen extension which seamlessly integrated with the existing ground floor spaces. Making the most of the natural light and providing a versatile living area and dining space were key to the client's lifestyle and family comfort.

For the loft, the challenge was maximising space to accommodate both a bath and a shower. The design also extended to planning new spaces for the bathrooms, hallway, and stairs, with conceptual designs for the bedrooms.

IN THEIR WORDS: We reached out to Jo when in a panic about the number of decisions required quickly on a refurbishment and extension project. In particular, the ground floor guest WC, cloaks area and the newly created bedroom and bathroom on the top floor. Jo worked tirelessly on the layouts producing a number of options until we hit on the perfect layout. Across the rest of the project, the images, mood boards as well as physical samples, helped so much and we made choices which we wouldn’t have made were it not for that input. Jo introduced us to a number of suppliers and coordinated with them to provide quotes, in addition to sourcing a number of furniture and lighting items which saved an enormous amount of time and stress. Overall, employing Jo was a decision I’m relieved to have made, the end result simply wouldn’t be the same without her involvement.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS: 'We had an incredibly positive experience working with Jo in a full renovation of our house including music room, living room, dining room, 4 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms. She drove the project end to end from concept to design, working with builders and finding the right furniture and accessories.

She holds a high bar for the quality of her work, very organised and communicates well, and represented our preferences very well as the project progressed. This was a challenging project involving multiple contractors and we could always count on her to align on next steps and unblock progress when needed.

We would definitely be happy to work with her again in future projects and strongly recommend her.'

IN THEIR OWN WORDS: 'I hired Jo at Studio JKL to help elevate the look of my new apartment in central London. The basics were already there but I felt that the property could really look exceptional with help. Jo listened carefully and came up with brilliant designs that were in keeping with the property and my tastes. I also appreciated that she was willing to dig in and fight for ideas that she thought would work - and she was right every time. My flat now looks and feels really classy but it also remains my home. I had never worked with a designer before but I was really impressed by the process and pleased with the project. Jo sprinkled magic on everything and I'd highly recommend working with Studio JKL.'

IN THEIR OWN WORDS: 'We needed help with furnishing and decorating our new build, three-bedroom flat prior to moving in, and reached out to Jo of Studio JKL to help realise our vision within two short months. What stood out for us is Jo’s personable approach and professionalism, and her willingness to find solutions. Despite the tight timeline, she was able to accomplish what we asked for and more: she was able to come up with a design that makes good use of space and provides ample storage, curate a list of furniture and accessories to order, link us up with reliable suppliers, fitters and joiners, and oversee the installation in our new home. She even went out of her way to source an out-of-stock furniture, as well as arrange for the transport of some items. Throughout the project, she maintained clear and timely communication, and was flexible with schedules. Her design and styling ideas worked well with our intended use of the space, while still having room to grow and make it our own. Highly recommended!'

Contemporary Family Bathroom Renovation & Interior Design, Greenwich

This Greenwich renovation project transformed a family home into a contemporary, light-filled living environment tailored to modern family life. Studio JKL was appointed to redesign the interiors and improve the overall flow of the property, creating spaces that feel both elegant and highly functional.

The design focused on enhancing connectivity between key living areas while introducing a cohesive palette of materials, textures and finishes throughout the home. Thoughtful space planning helped maximise natural light, improve circulation and create a stronger relationship between the kitchen, dining and living spaces.

Bespoke joinery and integrated storage solutions were incorporated throughout the project to improve practicality without compromising the clean, contemporary aesthetic. Furniture, lighting and decorative elements were carefully selected to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere while maintaining a refined and timeless look.

Particular attention was given to balancing everyday functionality with spaces designed for entertaining and relaxation. The result is a home that feels cohesive, comfortable and tailored to the way the homeowners live.
