Find the right local pro for your project

Maximize unused space with custom under-stairs storage designed for both style and functionality. This project features built-in cabinets and drawers, providing smart storage solutions while seamlessly blending with the home’s design. Perfect for organizing everyday essentials, shoes, or household items, our tailored craftsmanship ensures a practical and elegant use of space.

The Setup
This project reimagines a shared bathroom for three young sisters, balancing functionality, aesthetics, and future growth. Originally affected by a flood, the space required a full renovation. The homeowners initially planned to retain the existing layout, but the need to incorporate a second-floor washer and dryer prompted a fresh approach to the design.
Design objectives:
Create a layout that accommodates three growing sisters while ensuring privacy and functionality.
Win space for a new second-floor stacked washer and dryer to meet the family’s laundry needs.
Design a bathroom that feels youthful yet timeless, growing with the girls as they transition from toddlers to teens.
Include ample storage for everyday essentials.
The Remodel
Design challenges to be solved:
The need to incorporate a washer and dryer without compromising existing bedroom/bathroom storage.
Creating functional storage for a shared bathroom.
Designing a space that is both child-friendly and timeless.
Maximizing privacy in a shared bathroom.
Adding personality without making the space feel overly juvenile.
The Renewed Space
Design solutions:
Repurposed a small walk-in closet in an adjacent bedroom to house a stackable washer and dryer accessible from the hallway. Built a new, larger closet on the opposite side to maintain bedroom storage.
Installed spacious base cabinets and drawers in each vanity area, ensuring sufficient storage for all three sisters.
Used feminine yet subtle plaid patterned mosaic tiles, neutral countertops with light movement, and soft tones to ensure longevity and adaptability.
Improved the Jill-and-Jill layout with two separate vanity areas and a shared toilet and shower zone. Kept pocket doors for enhanced privacy and space efficiency.
Incorporated blingy light fixtures, decorative mirrors, and hooks for towels to strike the perfect balance between fun and elegance.
This refreshed bathroom blends thoughtful functionality with a timeless aesthetic, meeting the immediate needs of a busy household while creating a space that can adapt to the family’s future.

This whole-home renovation honors traditional character while adding modern comfort, custom craftsmanship, and welcoming spaces designed for family gatherings. A dedicated prep pantry keeps appliances, serving pieces, and everyday essentials organized, with generous counter space for baking, meal prep, and entertaining.

This impressive bespoke fitted media wall, tailored storage and display features, was handcrafted and installed by Bespoke by Acorn for our clients’ private family residence in Sutton, Surrey. Spanning the entire wall from floor to ceiling, the structure and style make the unit look and feel like an architectural part of the living room.
The custom-built joinery features handcrafted built-in storage and lighting, with plug sockets and cables elegantly concealed. We also created the curtain rail which integrates seamlessly into the TV unit and wall panelling achieving a cohesive, streamlined look.
Natural oak grain with a dark grey luxury finish
The custom-built TV wall cabinet is modern minimalist in design and flawlessly finished in oak with a graphite wood stain. This sophisticated deep grey colour reflects the resurgence of retro luxury in interior design and matches the style of the property’s interior décor scheme. A premium quality satin lacquer gives the surface a protective hardwearing finish.
Bespoke layout, storage and lighting
For this media wall unit, our clients wanted to have open made-to-measure display areas with low-level cupboards for storage. The lower cabinets have sleek, minimalist doors featuring an effortless, push to open, handle-free design. Bespoke integrated dimmable LED lighting which adds visual dimension, illuminates artworks and brings an attractive ambience to the room.
The upper grid layout achieves a pleasing sense of balance and harmony, with attractive pieces on display, while other items such as equipment and everyday essentials are discreetly stored behind closed doors.

After devastating flooding damaged the entire first floor and left the walls stripped to the studs, we had the rare opportunity to completely reimagine the kitchen, dining room, family room, and butler’s pantry.
The kitchen received an entirely new footprint—removing the dividing wall opened the space dramatically and improved flow and functionality. The former butler’s pantry was transformed into a dedicated beverage center and coffee bar, creating a hard-working hub for daily routines.
In the casual dining area, we added floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that expanded pantry storage and created a hidden “locker” for the kids’ homework, backpacks, and everyday essentials.
In the family room, the outdated media niche was replaced with custom built-ins, adding architectural detail and much-needed storage, and the fireplace received a complete facelift to bring the whole room up to date.
The result is a cohesive, modernized first floor designed for real family living—open, functional, and beautifully renewed.

Open wood shelving adds an airy feel and provides the perfect spot for styling and everyday essentials. A contemporary brass faucet complements the hardware and ties the design together. The large pass-through window floods the kitchen with natural light and creates a seamless connection to the outdoor area—perfect for entertaining.
Finished with patterned tile flooring for character and durability, this Sunnyvale kitchen remodel is a great example of how thoughtful design, color balance, and quality craftsmanship can completely transform a space.
