Stranmillis, Belfast
A small rear extension on this Edwardian terrace has made room for the thing the owners wanted most: somewhere to sit together that wasn't the sofa.
Soft plaster pink lower cabinets with slim brass handles are paired with open oak shelves rather than wall units, keeping the room light. A splashback of glossy white zellige tiles catches the sun through the day.
The built in oak banquette sits beneath a large steel framed window onto the courtyard, with green velvet cushions and a round table that seats six at a squeeze.
