KITCHEN ISLAND ON WHEELS

It can be really practical in some kitchens to have an island that is on wheels, it has so much flexibility in the room. It can be moved around to suit your needs and be a really attractive, functional piece of furniture. In some cases you can re-purpose an old piece of furniture and add wheels, or have something made. You'll want to get the height perfect, to achieve a 36" counter height depends – you need to take into account the height of the wheels. I love the ones with white marble tops! Here are some examples of kitchen islands with wheels that are done really well.

LARGE WINDOWS IN THE KITCHEN

I always like a bright kitchen with big windows. In these kitchens the window is right above the counter. It's a great look if you have the space for it. You sacrifice upper cabinets, but I think the window and natural light is well worth it! Washing the dishes in these sinks would't be so bad!

NEW FARROW & BALL WALLPAPER

Farrow & Ball has some fabulous new wallpaper! I'm SO excited to be trying several of these new styles with a client. I might be most excited about this, a gorgeous dark blue going in a powder room (the image below), but really can't wait to see all of them. Wallpaper can quickly transform a room and these are going to be amazing.

SUPER STYLISH BATHROOMS

I love the design of all these bathrooms. They range from decadent with slabs of marble and huge windows, to simple white mosaic tiles. I love the clean lines, gorgeous baskets and the black hex floor.  

I've also got a thing for these bathrooms, the details are pretty incredible!

FABRICS WITH A TOUCH OF 2015 PANTONE COLOUR MARSALA

I love fabrics and in my job I get to see some beautiful options. I love putting together patterns and  there are endless colours, styles and patterns – so it's a fun part of my day when I get to start putting together ideas for a client. I'm enjoying the Global trend in fabrics, these tend to have an artisan feel – like a hand-woven look – in distinct colours and patterns. Here are a few from Kravet that show this look (which we sell). I'd envision fabrics like these made in toss pillows on a neutral linen sofa. They also happen to have a touch of the 2015 Pantone colour – Marsala.
