## Brooke Copp-Barton Interiors: A Transformative Loft Conversion and Renovation in Whitstable
Brooke Copp-Barton Interiors recently completed a captivating loft conversion and renovation project in the charming coastal town of Whitstable, Kent. This remarkable transformation breathes new life into a Victorian mid-terrace house, elevating its appeal and enhancing the comfort of its inhabitants.
### A Symphony of Colour and Character
Throughout the renovation, Brooke Copp-Barton's signature bold use of colour is on display, creating a dynamic and inviting atmosphere. The family bathroom, for instance, boasts rose-pink tiles of varying shades, vintage touches, and period style brassware, while the main bedroom is drenched in soft pink, warmed up with notes of rich cherry red and burgundy.
### Retaining Heritage and Embracing Modernity
Many heritage features were retained, including original floorboards and fireplaces, which were renovated to their former glory. Traditional sash windows were replaced with wooden frames, and the living room was transformed by removing an internal wall and repurposing the doors as sliding doors to the utility and cloakroom.
### The Heart of the Home: Kitchen-Diner
The kitchen-diner, the heart of this seaside home, showcases a red terrazzo floor, exposed structural beams in red ochre, and pale olive green kitchen cabinetry. The dining area features a slim island and a large banquette bench, maximizing width, and offering ample seating for family and friends.
### Light-Filled Spaces and Grandeur
A window was added between the hallway and living room to bring light into the dark, narrow entrance and make it feel larger. Crittall-style doors in the kitchen provide a sense of grandeur and a seamless link onto the patio, offering wonderful views of the newly landscaped garden.
### Spacemaker Architects and Planning Approval
Spacemaker Architects were appointed to navigate the planning process of the conservation area, ensuring that the renovation was sympathetic to Whitstable's rich history and character. Their expertise led to the successful completion of the project.
### A New Chapter in Whitstable
Brooke Copp-Barton and her husband moved to Whitstable with their family, eager to embark on this exciting renovation project. The loft conversion and renovation have not only transformed their home but have also become a testament to Brooke Copp-Barton Interiors' exceptional design capabilities.
From the warm and inviting living spaces to the stylish and functional bedrooms and bathrooms, this project is a shining example of how heritage properties can be lovingly restored while embracing modern design principles. The result is a home that is both timeless and contemporary, welcoming guests with Brooke Copp-Barton's signature palette of red, white, and blue.
Interior design elements, such as the red terrazzo floor in the kitchen-diner and the playful use of pink in the family bathroom, contribute to the overall lifestyle and aesthetic of the transformed Whitstable home. The renovation project demonstrates a harmonious blend of interior-design principles, home-and-garden elements, and local heritage, effectively enhancing the property's appeal and character.
