How Tobyshome brought British charm to their London kitchen
We’ve always believed that a beautiful home is built with intention, looking closely at what can be reimagined, with everyday touches that make a space feel lived-in, loved, and uniquely yours.
That’s why we’ve been so inspired by the journey of @tobyshome, the thoughtfully curated world of Toby and Mikey Perryman-Payne.
Whether you follow them on Instagram, read their blog, or watch along on YouTube, you'll know that every corner of their life is treated with care, authenticity, and style.
A New Chapter in London
Earlier this year, Toby and Mikey marked a new chapter, moving to their beautiful London home. Since then, they've been steadily reimagining the space, striking a balance between character and thoughtful, considered upgrades.
One of the most recent transformations is their kitchen. With black cabinetry, rich marble surfaces, wooden floors, and floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows, the space already had a strong foundation. But it was the carefully chosen changes that made all the difference: they sanded back the wooden floors, painted the cabinets in Elysian Ground by Little Greene, and introduced our Greenwich Collection in Burnished Brass.
These additions, along with other beautifully considered details; a wooden island, woven chairs, and thoughtfully placed lighting have brought a renewed warmth and depth to the space.
The Power of Small Changes
We firmly believe that handles should never be an afterthought. They're the details you interact with daily, the finishing touches that subtly set the tone for a space.
In Toby and Mikey’s kitchen, our Greenwich Pull Handles introduce soft warmth and a classic silhouette to balance the room’s strong architecture features. They add a layer of detail that elevates everything around it. A contrast of contemporary and heritage blend for a beautifully cohesive finish.
In Toby and Mikey's words:
“We’ve done as much as we could to transform this space using what was already here… But the biggest change came from updating the hardware.”
Designed for Real Life
Toby and Mikey’s renovation was hands-on, heartfelt, and filled with conscious decisions. Every element was thoughtfully considered and executed by them, all whilst sharing the process along the way, with the warmth and honesty their community has come to love.
We’re honoured that our hardware became part of their story, not just a finishing touch, but a functional detail woven into their everyday life.
Because, as Toby and Mikey say:
“Sometimes, it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference”
