Real Homes, Real Transformations
Family Kitchen Transformation
When the owners of this three-storey family home approached Lisa Hensby Design Studio, their kitchen had a familiar problem: it sat at the dark front of the house, disconnected from the garden. Lisa's solution was to flip everything, knocking through two underused rear reception rooms and relocating the kitchen to the light-filled, garden-facing side to create a 30-foot kitchen-diner that becomes the heart of the home. A booth banquette sits beneath a new window, a floating quartz shelf doubles as a breakfast bar and homework station, a fully fitted utility room hides behind the cabinetry, and a dramatic black quartz waterfall island completes the space.
Behind the Studio
“Everyone deserves to live in a home they love, no matter the budget.”
Lisa is self-taught, which means she learned this trade on site and on real projects rather than in a classroom. She shares what she knows: the budgets, the decisions, what really goes on behind the plasterboard. And because she stays with every project from first sketch to final styling, working with trusted trades who know how she works, the finished home stays true to the design.
