What's cooking?

Fresh styles and innovative ideas to inspire that dream kitchen

-  Kate Houghton

A NEW PLAN

Open plan has its benefits, but too much can be, well, too much. To help define the function of each space, without interrupting the flow of light or movement, broken plan living is the way forward. Consider using a glass wall to define without disrupting and create a new way of living that gives you everything you need.

Into the dark

Rich, dark tones work beautifully in kitchens where natural light is a key feature. Balance them with pure white walls and light stone surfaces. Finishing touches in copper or bronze add flashes of warm light.
