Fulham's Victorian terraces have reception rooms with excellent bones—high ceilings, bay windows, original fireplaces, and timber floors—that respond beautifully to professional renovation. SOM Development brings out the best in these rooms, creating living spaces that are stylish, comfortable, and perfectly suited to modern family life.
Our most popular Fulham living space project involves the front reception room—the formal parlour of the original Victorian layout. We restore this room as a dedicated sitting room, separate from the open-plan kitchen-diner at the rear, providing a quieter, more refined space for relaxing, reading, and entertaining smaller groups. Bay windows are enhanced with window seats, fireplaces are restored and fitted with working gas fires, and bespoke built-in storage provides homes for books, media, and family belongings.
For families who prefer a single open-plan living space, we design flowing ground floors that accommodate living, dining, and kitchen zones within a cohesive design scheme. Zoning is achieved through changes in flooring, ceiling treatment, and lighting, maintaining distinct functional areas within the open-plan space.
We also renovate secondary living spaces in Fulham terraces: home offices in front cellars, playrooms in extended side returns, and media snugs in cosy rear rooms. Every space in the house is designed to work hard and look beautiful.
Fulham's Victorian terraces were designed with separate front and back parlours, a layout that many families find either too formal or too compartmentalised. A living space renovation—whether restoring the front room as a refined retreat or opening up the entire ground floor—rebalances the home for contemporary family life.
The competitive Fulham property market rewards well-designed living spaces. Buyers notice the quality of reception rooms, and a beautifully renovated sitting room or open-plan living area makes a strong impression at viewings.
“SOM restored our Fulham front room beautifully—new bay window seat, reclaimed fireplace with a gas fire, and gorgeous built-in bookshelves. It is the perfect retreat from the kids in the kitchen. We love it.”

Yes. We install high-efficiency gas fires with realistic flame effects in restored or reclaimed period fireplaces. A gas-safety inspection and chimney survey ensure safe installation, and we handle all necessary certifications.
