🧼 3. @malmo_and_moss (Becca)

Minimalist and Scandi-inspired, Becca’s North London renovation is a haven for those who love natural tones and open-plan living. Her recent kitchen update highlights the power of subtle design: think limewashed walls, clean lines, and light wood tones that feel both modern and soothing.

Becca's kitchen really inspired the L&L team! We love the delicate, skinny shaker-style and the use of natural tones! See below for our picks inspired by Becca's use of light neutrals and natural wood tones, and watch this space for a skinny
