Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms magazine September 2023 Back Issue

If you’re planning your own kitchen renovation anytime soon, check out our must-read guide to the different kitchen layouts. Each idea will help you to create a hardworking scheme that will maximise your available space – like Searle & Taylor’s open-plan kitchen in Hampshire. It’s the perfect backdrop for the owners’ colourful collection of Clarice Cliff antiques.

Material of the Month for this issue is concrete – there are so many innovations taking place in the concrete industry, from basins and taps to game-changing products like microcement – a resin-based product, which can be mixed with pigments to create endless colour options. Unknown Works’ design of a terraced home in London features a kitchen, outdoor space and garden, which glows with warm pink pigmented concrete tones and was inspired by the owners’ trip to Mexico. We also chat to James Clarke, co-founder of Elle & James, which manufactures concrete worktops, basins and showers, and discover how and why the business has flourished.

Freestanding appliances – like your favourite pieces of furniture – are an excellent investment because they can move with you. Our appliance focus on freestanding appliances this month reveals a wealth of cool and colourful designs, such as the bright orange Liebherr fridge-freezer, right, which is sure to add a splash of fun. And, come on, who doesn’t dream of one day owning a beautiful pale blue Aga or blush pink Everhot range cooker to add colour and
brio to the kitchen?
Enjoy the issue!
