The reception rooms in Fulham's Victorian terraces have great bones to work with. High ceilings, bay windows, an original fireplace, timber floors. They take really well to a proper renovation, and we bring the best out of them, rooms that feel smart and comfortable and actually suit family life.
The job we do most often is the front reception room, the old formal parlour from the original layout. We bring it back as a dedicated sitting room, kept separate from the open plan kitchen diner at the back, so there's somewhere quieter to read, relax and have a few people round. We build a window seat into the bay, restore the fireplace and fit a working gas fire, and put in fitted storage for books, the telly and all the bits a family collects.
If you'd rather have one big open plan living area, we design flowing ground floors that hold living, dining and kitchen zones together in one scheme. The zoning comes from changes in the flooring, the ceiling and the lighting, so each area still reads as its own space without walls chopping it up.
We do the secondary rooms too. A home office in the front cellar, a playroom in an extended side return, a snug in a cosy back room. Every corner of the house should earn its keep and look good doing it.
Fulham's Victorian terraces were built with a separate front and back parlour, and plenty of families find that either too formal or too chopped up. A living space renovation, whether that's bringing the front room back as a quiet retreat or opening the whole ground floor up, rebalances the house for how people actually live now.
The Fulham market is competitive and good living spaces get noticed. Buyers clock the quality of a reception room, and a well done sitting room or open plan living area lands well at viewings.
“SOM did a lovely job on our front room. New window seat in the bay, a reclaimed fireplace with a gas fire, and built in bookshelves either side. It's the perfect hideaway from the kids charging round the kitchen. We love it.”

Depends how you live. A lot of Fulham families like a separate front sitting room as a quiet escape from the open plan kitchen diner. We can do either, or a flexible setup with sliding doors or a removable partition so you get both.
Yes. We fit high efficiency gas fires with a realistic flame into restored or reclaimed period fireplaces. A gas safety check and a chimney survey make sure it goes in safely, and we sort all the certificates.
We use changes in the flooring, the ceiling height or finish, the lighting, and where the furniture sits, to mark out the living, dining and cooking areas. Those little cues keep the sense of separate spaces even though it's all one room.
