Interiors made for life in Rustington.
Rustington’s medieval parish church, the clock tower of its Victorian convalescent home and the museum at the Samuel Wickens Centre give the village a layered identity. Its cottages, flats, houses and bungalows call for individual solutions. INTEGRAL welcomes Rustington enquiries from Brighton and Hove, considering bathrooms, fitted bedrooms and kitchens around the rooms you have and the way you want to live.
How can the design reflect the way you live?
A bathroom that suits you now should also be easy to use and look after. In a bungalow, there may be an opportunity to reconsider the relationship between a bedroom and bathroom; in a flat, keeping the existing service position may be more practical. Neither should be assumed before the property is measured. Begin with your priorities for access, storage and comfort, then compare layouts against the space available.
Give storage a proper place
Rustington’s variety of home types makes fitted storage a useful part of a wider interior conversation. A bedroom may need space for clothing, a dressing area or somewhere to work occasionally. A kitchen may need to accommodate appliances that currently crowd the worktop. Consider what must be stored, how often it is used and the clearance around doors. These practical decisions give the finished cabinetry a purpose beyond its appearance.
Connect new finishes to existing rooms
A single-room refurbishment should still feel comfortable beside the rooms you keep. Review threshold heights, door swings and the meeting between old and new flooring before selecting tile sizes or cabinets. If heating or plumbing will change, include that in the same scope. In an older cottage, begin by understanding the existing fabric and any property-specific restrictions; in a newer home, look carefully at previous alterations and concealed services.
Need help sourcing materials?
If you haven’t yet sourced your materials, or would like help choosing products and finishes, we work hand in hand with our sister company, Old Bank Kitchens, to help you find the right options for your project.

Before we begin
Planning work in Rustington?
Every project starts with a conversation.
Can you help plan a Rustington bungalow refurbishment?
Yes. Send photographs, the postcode and a description of the rooms involved. We can discuss the relationship between bedrooms and bathrooms, existing services, access and the scope of the refurbishment.
Are older cottages and modern flats approached differently?
The survey and brief should reflect the individual property. Older fabric, shared access or fixed service routes can each affect the options. Check any address-specific heritage requirements with Arun District Council before finalising changes.
