Utopia Kitchen & Bathroom Magazine July/August 2019 Back Issue

As summer gets underway, thoughts invariably turn to the much-anticipated holiday season. There’s nothing quite like a change of scenery, a beautiful location and a break from the monotony and stresses of everyday life to help recharge the batteries and kick-start production of those feel-good hormones.

Pondering my own ideas for a family break this summer, it made me think about what constitutes the perfect holiday. Horses for courses…but for me and, I’m sure many others, it can be as much about the accommodation as the destination. There’s nothing quite like checking into a luxury hotel and that first step into a gorgeous room and bathroom that will provide a sanctuary for one or two weeks of relaxation.

This issue, we round up some of the best hotel-inspired bathroom spaces with
advice from the experts on how to create your very own five-star retreat at home – whatever your budget – in Hotel Luxury (p56). And we’ve thrown in even more bathroom bliss, bringing you everything from beautiful vanities to practical storage solutions in our special Focus on…Bathroom Furniture (p43).

For when it’s time to get back to work in the kitchen, we take a look at the latest kitchen worktops, guaranteed to make a style statement and stand the test of time in Top Class (p30). Plus, we bring you more inspirational real-life kitchen transformations, great shopping ideas and top tips to create your dream space.

Enjoy!
