This gorgeous open plan kitchen/living/dining space is brought to life with a carefully curated selection of neutrals. The added variation of texture, from the smooth glass table to the velvet occasional chair add further design elements to the space. The pop of colour keeps the look fun and thoroughly modern.

"One of my favourite features is the Schneider Graceline mirror cabinet. I love being able to tidy everything away and the colour therapy lights combined with uplights behind the bath set the perfect mood for a relaxing steam, which is my other favourite feature!"

"The master en-suite is our favourite room in the house. There is no door dividing it from our bedroom which makes the space double aspect and it is flooded with natural light in the mornings, which always makes for a gorgeous start to the day."

The Parker’s luxurious new build property, nestled in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, required a contemporary kitchen design. A key element of the design brief for the Smarthaus Team was to create an island and breakfast area where the family could gather and dine together face to face. The breakfast bar in industrial dark grey finish works beautifully with the subtleness of Silestone Yukon for the island and creates a lovely space for family time to dine!

This project was a brand-new detached house in Gloucestershire, clad in Cotswold stone so as to seamlessly blend into the area. It was to be the home of a couple in their early 30s, who wanted the design to reflect their eclectic and glamorous modern lifestyle but it also needed to achieve order, balance and cohesion across all three floors.

"There is nothing more organic and natural looking in my opinion that the beautiful Stark V "vortex" basin mixer which we put in the guest shower room. Because this is a room which everybody uses, we wanted something which had a "wow" factor and it works every time!"
