From the Lesson Workbook
The Kitchen
When renovating a home, you need to prioritise what matters to you. For me, that was a generous living space in which to entertain. As a result, I had to sacrifice the size of my kitchen, but I've made the most of every inch.
The Kitchen
- Using a kitchen designer is really worth the investment, especially if you have a small or awkward space.
- Full-depth cabinets of 60cm run down either side of the kitchen, but I opted to have narrower cabinets of a 40cm depth at the top end underneath the window to elongate the space. When you're working in small spaces, even a 20cm difference can have a huge impact.

Nina Campbell
World-renowned interior and textile designer. House & Garden Lifetime Achievement Award.
British decorator Nina Campbell is undeniably one of the world’s most respected and influential interior designers of our time. In her 50 years in the industry, she has accumulated an unparalleled list of clients and design expertise. Nina’s enthusiasm and interest in design and interiors was developed when, at the age of 19, she went to work for John Fowler at the prestigious Sybil Colefax & John Fowler. Shortly afterwards, she set up her eponymous decorating business, where one of her first commissions was to design a castle in Scotland. Renowned for her contagious wit, brilliant sense of style and her unmistakably rich and elegant colour palette, Nina’s designs appeal to both young and old and sit well in both contemporary and traditional interiors. She continues to work on notable projects - both commercial and residential - across the globe, with both new clients and those who return across the generations.
