Nature and natural light flood this bathroom makeover
This bathroom transformation includes a reworked glass atrium, the rich look of exotic stone and strong, pared back sculptural elements
Material riches
This kitchen reflects a rich materiality, with touches of brass seen in the tapware, cabinet handles, window latches, light fittings and the rustic brass wire cabinet grills.
Seamless presence
Flush sinks and a hob welded flush into the rear stainless steel benchtop contribute to the pared back look of this kitchen by the Matisse design team.
Space and light
A dramatic pendant draws attention to the scale of this double height volume, part of the wider environment for a kitchen designed by Pepper Design.
Full-length feature
This kitchen accentuates its long, linear nature at every turn – even with the lighting. The pendant light over the island was custom designed to length to complement the wider look.
Even beautiful can be improved on – light fantastic
Together with ceiling spot lights, this kitchen benefits from LED strips under the waterfall island benchtop and rear wall cabinetry. A sculptural contemporary pendant sets off the space.
Make it three
Why do so many kitchen islands have three pendant lights above? It's an arrangement that gives a visual balance as well as a good spread of task lighting
