Utopia Kitchen & Bathroom Magazine October 2013 Back Issue

Welcome to our annual design issue. Theatricality, Hurst-esque diamante encrusted skulls and black are mainstays of the in-vogue glamourous Gothic theme portrayed in Style file – turn to Dark delights on page 53 for a world of magic and mystery. Fashion and design go hand-in-hand and our Real homes section starting on page 31 gives plenty of inspiration for your own project. Also we have not one but two exclusive Designer collections – turn to pages 104 and 106 to read our interviews revealing the inspiration behind these creatively original new bathroom ‘sculptures’. Not only concerned with looks, these days products also need to be water efficient. Home work starting on page 116 looks at the Water Label and examines how the Bathroom Manufacturer’s Association and its members can help you plan your new bathroom to be stylish and eco friendly. If it’s a new kitchen you’re embarking on our Buyers’ guide to induction hobs (see page 78), tells you all you need to know to make the right choice. And on page 110 we get up-close and personal with international artist-designer Mark Humphrey.
