Essential Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Magazine June 2017 Edición anterior

It’s time to throw open the windows and embrace the spirit of the new season – and what a brave new season it is. I’m loving all of the new hot and spicy colours coming through in textiles and tiles, as well as the new craze towards greening up your bathroom and kitchen spaces and putting all of your best kitchenelia on display. From dusting down your kitchen shelves and restyling your books and artwork in The Art of Display on page 72 to introducing brave new textures into your bathroom spaces in Feeling Good on page 102, there are so many directional ideas in here for planning your interiors spaces for the sunny months ahead – we hope you’re inspired! Our selection of real houses this issue feature everything from a cool revamp in a classic style apartment in Gothenburg (Swedish Escape, page 26) to a stylish freestanding design featuring vintage dressers and a refectory table in History in the Making on page 38. There’s also a clever family refurb of a tired bungalow on page 50 (In Living Colour) and a simple Shaker design anchored by some great lighting in Light Fantastic on page 60. For a great example of maximising space, light and access to the garden in what is quite a built-up area of London, tun to the Designer Kitchen profile with Cross Harris Architects on page 68. However, before you think we’ve turned our back completely on minimalism, turn to Sleek Spaces on page 92 where feature writer Lucy Macdonald talks through the how-tos of incorporating built-in appliances to your scheme. Whether you’re designing afresh or simply updating, the layout of your kitchen is key, and a lot of it down to how you plan your banks of appliances in the best configuration possible. Meanwhile as you read through this issue you might notice it has a brighter palette. That’s because we’ve had a little refresh and hope you like it!
