Rustic cladding, a design that responds to a tricky site, and rural interior elements – this home responds to it owners needs and its setting

Rangehood and cabinetry cloaked in aged brass, island and floors in exotic stone, oh, and futuristic appliances – this kitchen is next level

Rainhead fitting and/or water efficient, a tiled stall, or clear glass, set back or in the limelight – just some of many options for your new shower. Here are some great examples

Industrial look pendants look the part in this industrial vibe kitchen – there's even an industrial look ladder if a light bulb needs changing
