Ideal Home

---

LET THERE BE LIGHT: Jane and Pete Evans fell for the faded grandeur of an unmodernised house and, more than five years and two extensions later, have revived it for family life

TAILOR MADE: Ben and Gaby Hillman updated a standard thirties semi with a wraparound extension, clever design ideas and smart tech to make every space support their lifestyle and suit their contemporary tastes

'KNOCKING DOWN WALLS MADE THIS HOUSE FLOW' Nicole and Lester Leviton created big, open spaces connected with a cohesive palette of greys and white - with a few surprises thrown in 

'WE MADE AN ECLECTIC MIX WORK' Kate and Ross Moerel mixed together second-hand, inherited, re-used and new things to give their blank-canvas house unique style 

'I TURNED MY GARAGE INTO A SNUG RETREAT' Judith Moody transformed this former storage space into a comfortable garden room
