Open plan living is high on many homeowners’ lists of must-haves when they’re building or renovating. Not only does an open space provide plenty of room for entertaining guests (without relegating yourself to the kitchen), but open plan also feels incredibly spacious, more airy and more welcoming. The style does come with its challenges, though, and there are some key things to consider before you launch into a build. Here, we’ll talk through some of the most important tips for designing an open plan home. Clear zones Even though you’re planning for an open layout, you don’t want your design to be too free flowing; it’s important you maintain clear distinction between your kitchen, dining area and living room. This keeps everything from blending into one and becoming too chaotic. Use rugs and mats to create defined zones – a high-pile rug in the living room space shows that

The seemingly simple mirror can hold many functions in a kitchen, beyond just providing a place to check your appearance as you walk past. They can be elegant centrepieces in your design scheme, or form functional elements that serve a real purpose in your kitchen. Here, we run through the functions mirrors can play in a kitchen and give you some inspiration for how to integrate mirrored surfaces into your room. Adding the illusion of space Hanging a mirror in your small kitchen or apartment dining space can go a long way to creating extra visual space.

At its core, designing a kitchen involves choosing solid materials and components – a stone benchtop, timber flooring or a copper light fitting. But adding soft furnishings to your kitchen and dining space is important too, as softer elements like upholstery, curtains and rugs can elevate your kitchen and tie your whole design together. Choosing soft furnishings is often left to the last minute; homeowners will scramble to find the right curtains to match their colour palette, or try to upholster seat cushions in barely any time. A better way to do it is to integrate your choices about soft furnishings into your renovation plans from the very beginning. Here are our tips on how to choose soft furnishings for a cohesive look and feel in your kitchen. Curtains Curtains and blinds don’t just control the light and privacy levels in your space; the right fabric, colour or pattern can work

Colour can be an evasive subject, and because there are seemingly few hard-and-fast rules, it can be difficult to know if your palette is right. Get your kitchen’s colour palette right from the start and your room will be harmonious and cohesive. Get it wrong and you risk some elements looking out of place. In today’s blog, we run through several key principles when it comes to selecting colours.  Use this as a guide to choose a design theme for your kitchen, from designing a palette to applying your colour scheme to your interior design. Think about your general style Certain styles lend themselves more readily to particular colour palettes. Do you gravitate more towards modern, sleek and cutting-edge design, or do you prefer something traditional or mid-century? When it comes to materials, do you prefer natural materials like wood and stone, or do you lean towards a more manufactured vibe with brushed steel

Your pantry is an essential piece of your kitchen puzzle, and for a few good reasons. Not only does it provide storage for your food, serving ware and cooking utensils, but an effective pantry can be a stunning design centrepiece too. Although most of the time a pantry’s contents are hidden behind closed doors – meaning clutter won’t spoil the design of your room – the actual design of your pantry could be make or break in terms of how organised and efficient you are when cooking and entertaining. Size and Capacity  Think about how much you want to store in the pantry, and how much you can afford to spread in different cupboards, drawers and buffets around the kitchen and dining area. A cramped pantry could make it difficult to stay organised and find ingredients. One that’s too large might mean you lose ingredients to its

Splashbacks in the kitchen provide more than just an eye-catching design feature (although they look great too). The right splashback is a functional kitchen tool, protecting your walls from any splutters or spills on the stove. There is a wide range of materials to choose from and the colour and texture possibilities are nearly endless. You can choose any combination of materials to design a splashback that doesn’t just look great, but functions superbly in your space. Pairing your splashback with your benches Choose your splashback after you’ve selected the right benchtop and fittings for your space. In general, you’ll have fewer options for your benches and islands, so matching your splashback to your bench – instead of the other way around – is a smart idea.
