Giving the kitchen a designer look often comes down to combining certain materials or opting for a particular colour scheme, and adding touches of black is certain to make a sophisticated impression.
Spring is the perfect time for giving your kitchen a facelift, and when budget and time constraints put paid to a full-blown overhaul, there are plenty of cost-effective and relatively quick ways to give the space a new look and add in some extra functionality where it will be felt the most.
Christmas is coming and with it come house guests. At one of the busiest and expensive times of the year in terms of present buying, attending parties and food preparation, decorating your home ready for when friends and family descend may not be high on the agenda.
The continued popularity of traditional kitchen and bathroom design and how it has taken a modern twist.
With Christmas on the horizon our thoughts turn to entertaining friends and family. One of the great seasonal traditions of course is eating, drinking and being merry, which usually requires countless hours of preparation in the kitchen getting party food ready, preparing the Christmas dinner and keeping guests happy with a seemingly endless supply of tea and coffee.

Nowhere gives a clearer idea of what the kitchen of the future might look like than Eurocucina. Rather than relying on a crystal ball and a whole lot of luck, designers and product developers flock to Milan to catch a glimpse of the latest trends straight from the kitchen design catwalk.
Not so long ago, saving water consumption was one of those ideas that many thought was good, but not exactly a high priority. That changed when water metering was introduced, and even those of us for whom reducing the amount of water we used was a moral issue, now had an extra reason to cut back how much we used.
Thank goodness, there's now a hint of spring in the air, which is very welcome after that slog from January through to March, bludgeoned by the most awful weather!
Decorating and revamping your home can be an exciting project and there's no time like the spring-time for getting stuck in amd making sone changes.
