            A Modern Kitchen Makeover With Helen & Mark

            Adding a contemporary update to their classic property, this modern kitchen makeover with Helen and Mark explains how they transformed the cooking space in their converted chapel into a refined setting to welcome guests. Featuring a sophisticated colour scheme, marble-effect surfaces, and brass accents, this kitchen makeover is decadent and dynamic, while clever storage recommended by their designer at the Norwich depot, meant holiday goers could kick back and relax in a clutter-free home from home. 

            The design goals

             
            About Helen & Mark

            Helen and Mark took on a chapel conversion in the scenic town of New Buckenham, Norfolk. With ambitions to turn it into a holiday home, they sought a contemporary cooking space that offered a touch of luxury to visiting guests. Seeking help from our Norwich depot, the couple created a refined interior, packed full of amenities, that took their quaint pad from simple to star-rated.
