Ready for a new kitchen? There as almost as many kitchen styles as there are kitchens in the world, so trying to come up with a design that will work best for your space can be tricky sometimes. While we’d be here all day covering every popular style, we could think of (as much as we want to) in this blog post, we’re going to cover a kitchen design that many people seek to have which is a contemporary design. With times and styles continually changing, the term contemporary is very subjective. What looks good now could age horribly over the next couple of years, the same way design elements fr ..read more

Grey. Suffice to say it’s not a lot of people’s favourite colour. Here in the UK, we do see a lot of it, from the constant clouds in the sky to the churning winter sea to your friend’s face when they wake up after a heavy night out. It’s a continual shade. While many people associate it with depressing, cold times, they often forget how chic grey can look in design. From art pieces to clothes, to homeware, different shades of grey have been a staple of high-end designs for decades now with grey kitchen designs not looking like they’re going away any time soon. From the walls to the floor, to t ..read more

So… how is the New Year’s diet going? Wait wait wait. Please don’t click off just yet. While many of us woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on December 31st ready to start that brand new fitness regiment on the 1st, it’s safe to say that more than a few of us have slowly drifted back into old habits pretty fast by now. It’s normal. January is cold, wet and everyone’s broke, so trying to add a complete lifestyle change on top of that is a tall order. The solution? Small changes. Maybe instead of going for that 10km jog every morning, try a short run every other day. Don’t feel bad if you can’t ..read more

Oh since there’s no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… Or in the case for a lot of the UK: Let the country come to screeching halt after a few flakes are shaken from the sky. While white Christmases around these parts are almost unheard of, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a little of that wintery spirit in your kitchen design. White is a classic colour, used in architecture and design all over the place and especially in the kitchen. While it’s great for capturing the frosty mood of a chilly winter, that doesn’t mean that it’ll look out of place any other time of year. Thanks ..read more

Hear that sound? That distant rumble of sleigh bells and the coca-cola truck? Yep. Christmas is definitely just around the corner! With highstreets glistening with fairy lights and the sweet scent of wintery coffee blends wafting from every café, festive fever is pretty hard to ignore at the moment. When it comes to decorating, some people like to go all out, while some prefer more reserved styles. Though one room that is often neglected during all the festivities (at least until you’re putting the turkey in) is the kitchen. While it’s obviously not the room where you’re going to put the Chris ..read more
