Trends New Zealand Volume 35 No 3 | Page 6

There's a sense in which we've established a layout plan that is the basis for nearly all new kitchens – one in which the island plays a dominant role. But while we may feel comfortable with using this plan as a template – because it works so well – we still want our own kitchen to have a distinctive style. And the mix of materials we select can have a big influence on this. One of the best ways for you to start creating the kitchen – home or bathroom – you've always wanted is to look through recently completed projects by top designers and architects. To help you with that, we’ve collected some of the latest design and product ideas in this issue of Trends. And when you've looked through these, you'll find even more at our Trendsideas.com website, where we continually update and add to our 160,000+ images, nearly 21,000 articles and over 1000 videos. Plus we can put you in touch instantly with professionals and companies who can help to make all your final decisions easier.
