In recent years the kitchen has become an

all-embracing area for family and social

life, where spaces are opened up into one

another and we all endeavour to live more

communally and freely. By Kelly Hoppen.

The theatre of the homeThe way we look at kitchen design is markedly different to how we viewed it even as little as five years ago. The influences of celebrity chefs such as jamie oliver, nigella lawson and gordon ramsay have shifted our perceptions of life in the kitchen possibly more than any other factor.

We have been inspired to loosen up and cook with abandon. To cook and entertain at home is cool, and this, combined with the aspiration for open-plan living, has made the kitchen become a sophisticated cutting- edge environment of ease and beauty, with space for living, dining, playing and working. It is the theatre at the heart of the home, where you chill with friends, tackle homework and make plans. It is also the place where, if you were invited to a kitchen supper, you would think twice about turning up in your tracksuit.Kitchen planning

I treat the subject of kitchens as being highly personal and specific. One of my jobs is

to deprogramme and then reprogramme my clients brains, so that first of all they agree to put their kitchen in the right place. The position of a kitchen should always be based on your way of living, rather than on where the kitchen is currently sited, irrespective of whether or not you have to reroute the plumbing. Work on the basis of available space and how you want to use the kitchen. Ask yourself questions and make a list of your needs to create a tight brief all decisions need to be based on your vision, your requirements and your pocket. I bring in kitchen planners on every job, as the kitchen is the most complex of rooms and possibly the most important, since it is where most of us spend the majority of our time. Achieving a workable open-plan space with three or four zones demands a meticulous and organized approach. At the first meeting, show the planner your mood board of ideas displaying the elements and furniture you wish to be worked into the scheme; explain your brief with as much detail as possible, to get to

The glass-ToppeD islanD in my kiTchen was set with a four-ring gas hob. it is a triumph for me, as the rings are arranged in a single row, so that i never have to lean over a hot pan. Beyond the island, the open sliding doors frame the way into the entrance hall of my home, where I have a vignette of two stunning zinc-framed 1960s mirrors from philip thomas displayed with other treasures.

the core of the design and the range of options. How many zones can you accommodate in your space? How will each one be lit? Do you want air conditioning or an integrated sound system? Will you need to install a suspended ceiling for extraction and ducting? What combination of surface materials will work in terms of both practicality and look? What proportion of your budget have you set aside for this room? The planner will have answers and solutions, but first you need to make the call on each question. Let the ideas flow and investigate your options, but stick to your brief to keep the kitchen workable for you, and compromise with care where you have to.

Even though most specialist kitchen companies term their designs universal, this is not always the case. The same concept will not necessarily work for a couple with children as for a divorced man. Gender does come into it: boys like toys, and men tend to want it easy in the cooking and eating areas, with perhaps the emphasis on the chill-out-and-play zone. A designs conception will always depend on your circumstances and how you like to live.Surfaces and finishes

There are wonderful surfaces to play with in kitchens generally wood, lacquer, glass, stone, stainless steel and ceramic. Whatever you choose has to work for where you are putting it. I have successfully had wooden floors in kitchens (they need periodic refinishing) and less successfully had concrete and resin (they can crack if the substratum is not solid). Think of the tones of colour and the varying textures of the materials you like at the same time as thinking practically, because you want to make connections between the zones to give the room its balance.Design solutions: my kitchen

The layout of my kitchen takes up the majority of the ground floor: there is an islandbar chill-out zone at the front of the house, which flows into the working zone, which flows into the dining zone at the back, which opens into the garden. I knew from the outset that I wanted a comfortable and open series of spaces in a monochromatic, textural palette. I wanted

a fireplace in the kitchen, up on the wall like a painting. My look is a tidy mess, and i like being able to pull things from the shelves without opening a door. This led to a new design of sliding cupboard-front panels in place of doors, which read to the eye as charismatic vertical banners, as they do not span the entire width of the cupboard shelves. Boffi built the kitchen units in a special mocha-toned lacquer, and the feeling in the space is that of a furnished room, rather than a zone of wall-to-wall storage. The use of milk glass (toughened glass with a painted and foil back) gave me a superb working surface for all the counters. It is very tough and practical, as well as beautiful and reflective, and i have come to use it in place of stone and wood surfaces all over the house because it is price-savvy and relatively easy to install. These are personal examples illustrating how i reached certain design solutions and will perhaps inspire some original and practical solutions for your own project.Kitchen lighting

Getting the lighting right is enormously important, but it does not need to be overly complex. All lighting should be controllable, by way of individual dimmer switches or a main pre-set control panel for each zone, which can be programmed for instant lighting settings. The principle is to have task lights by which to prepare food and ambient light to create and enhance mood. Discreet under-cupboard lighting is a must, and it is worth considering top-lighting the cupboards to add a soft glow. I chose surface-mounted globe-shaped nickel lights, having tired of the pockmarked look created by recessed ceiling lights. I like to see lights, and I also love to see the detail of a nickel screw in a fixing plate it adds to the overall beauty of the many layers of interest and texture.Appliances and furnishings

For some, the choice of appliances alludes to the level their cooking has reached; for others, it is purely the kudos of having it items. I have a thing about sub- zero refrigerators (the aston martin of fridges, freezers and wine coolers), am very particular about taps (pieces of sculpture),

9COTSWOLD LUXURY

My kitchen was made to measure by boffi in this mocha-toned lacquer finish. The cupboards have a slim banner-style sliding door that allows me to see and access crockery easily. I always wanted a fireplace in my kitchen, and this bd design fire sculpture has been set in a bespoke fireplace with a chrome edge, mounted high on the wall like a painting. The chrome and leather bar chairs were custom-made by talisman, based on one of their original pieces.

would never be without a tap that provides instant boiling water, and like gas hobs that run in a line of up to five rings (they are practical and look incredible). I install air conditioning and like extraction fans that pop up from the counter.

Whatever your design, never underestimate the value of comfort in a room where you are so often to be found. Instead of stools for my islandbar, I had some retro leather and chrome chairs altered to the correct height (and additional ones made). Everyone loves this part of my kitchen; it is not only the chill- and-chat zone, it is a place to work, read, have breakfast and generally be.

It is often difficult to leave a home that you have invested so much time and effort in, somewhere you have made your own and somewhere you are proud to call home. But situations change and they certainly did for graphic designer Anne-Marie Magee and her soletrading design business 1:am. The surprise arrival of her son Laurence has meant that she would finally have to part with her labour of love - Westport Studio in Malmesbury, Wiltshire and move to a family home.

Anne-Marie bought the property in 2001 and has turned this link-detached property into an interior designers dream. Westport Studio is a beautiful contemporary home right in the heart of the Cotswold town and situated in the delightful Westport district. Here it is well placed; great local amenities include the award winning Thomas of Malmesbury Butchers and deli, a leisure centre with swimming pool, tennis club, excellent pubs and restaurants including the two Michelin Star Whatley Manor Hotel and Spa.

A Designers haven in the heart of Malmesbury

This home is finished to a very high standard with great attention to detail, all of which has been implemented by the current owner. This starts from the outside with total privacy to the property offered via a street door leading onto a courtyard.

The entrance hall leads through to an inner hall, both of which have beautiful Iranian limestone floor tiles from Artisans Of Devizes. Off the inner hall is the bedroom with dual aspect windows and feature Cotswold stone sills and oak shutters. The floor is wide board English Oak while the room shows its period with exposed original wooden beams. Next door is the well designed bathroom with a Moroccan copper basin, rain shower over the bath and bespoke copper radiator. All of the other facilities installed are also of the highest quality, including Gerberit and Hansgrohe.

Upstairs has been created into a light and spacious living area with a vaulted ceiling and feature lighting, leaded panel windows and

17COTSWOLD LUXURY

once again wide board English oak flooring. A bespoke kitchen with a unique and well designed kitchen work area which has a mood light wrapped around it, the surface is both matt and polished granite sourced from local firm Anything Stone of Swindon. It has been designed to offer flexible space for dining and relaxing.

At the other end of the room is a view overlooking the street via bi-fold French doors while all of this space is heated by a Stovax dual fuel burning stove.

Double doors lead from the kitchen to a decked terrace area overlooking the entrance courtyard, from which to enjoy the morning and evening sun. There is also rear access behind the property for wood storage etc.

David of estate agents Lockstones who are marketing the property, sees it as one of the best houses to come on the market in the town for years. It is perfect for the professional couple or person. We get a lot of enquiries from London and other surrounding cities with people wanting to move to the area, enjoy the country life and commute to work. It would ultimately suit the home worker.

The work that Anne- Marie Magee has put in is incredible. It is a design dream and I am sure as soon as she gets to her new place the ideas will start to flow again, he added.

The Westport Studio is on the market for 295,000 for more information please contact:

Bisque, the celebrated British company that has been bringing high quality, stylish, designer radiators to the UK for over 30 years has recently refurbished its showroom in Bath.

Bisque first opened in Kingsmead Square in May 1986 and it still takes pride of place in the Square today. Stuart Kay, showroom manager, took over in 2002 and Katharine Langley joined him in 2011. Now the showroom has undergone its latest reincarnation showing an inspirational display of Bisques extensive and acclaimed radiator ranges, including the popular contemporary designs of the Blok, Ellisse and Svelte radiators.

The showroom also displays some of Bisques newest colours and finishes to the ranges which include precious metallics, sparkling chromes, textured quartz finishes as well as this years trendiest brights and bold hues.

And with Bisques newest models not only is your radiator entirely personal but it is also eco friendly too. Recent additions to the range offer the eye-catching industrial design and attention to detail that Bisque is renowned and fuse this with impressive energy efficiency thanks to the use of recycled aluminium in

construction. Aluminium radiators have a lower water content which means less energy required from the boiler and with faster response times it means less wasted energy.

Stuart and Katharine offer a bespoke service and can advise on statement pieces for large spaces to sleek, space-saving towel radiators. The company offers radiators to complement and enhance any interior from the more traditional to the very contemporary.

With over 500 product lines kept in stock for immediate delivery, service is reliable and friendly. Stuart and Katharine have a wealth of experience and knowledge which makes choosing the perfect radiator a pain-free experience.

A messy bathroom can have a serious effect on our wellbeing - robbing us of a serene space in which to relax. And yet the difference between a cluttered, chaotic washroom and an attractive spa sanctuary is very simple: storage.

Controlling and cleaning your clutter neednt be an expensive task: sometimes all it needs is one or two chic storage solutions and with just a few small steps, you can turn your bathroom back into the blissful haven it was originally intended to be.

For many however, floor space is often at a premium and integrated storage is essential. Utopia bathrooms, available at Leekes offer custom-made solutions to perfectly complement the individual needs of your bathroom, delivering a bespoke look with maximum storage capacity.

But, the real trick to great storage in your bathroom is to not view it as storage at all. By considering your bathroom drawers, cabinets and furniture simply as dcor, and ensuring they are co-ordinated with the style of your washroom, youll soon have storage space disguised as decoration - the key to the ultimate bathroom.

FEATURE | Knightsbridge Apartmentby Anna Dodonova

Think Knightsbridge, think style and glamourFaced with a brief of changing the interior layout and making the space feel as spacious, Anna changed the apartment layout by completely opening the entrance area and installing a walk in wardrobe and guest bathroom. There is now an open-plan living and dining room space.

With breathtaking views of London, The 300 square metres property is bathed with Annas love for light and bright shades of white and ivory and her signature style of blending contemporary design with timeless glamour.

With the clever use of lighting and mirrors, Anna created the illusion of higher ceilings and larger rooms. The apartment is filled with

bright energy and a flow of light from room to room. The white and ivory colour palette is complemented by the use of accent colour accessories.

Anna used shiny lacquered finishes on some of the surfaces and the best quality fabrics and leathers. From sand touch wallpaper and glass beads to fine studded curtains, the different textures featured throughout the apartment gives all the spaces depth and character. Anna points out that although each room has its own personality, everything was designed in the same vein to ensure a harmonious balance was achieved.

Anna worked closely with the owners, from concept to delivering the finishing touches.

EntranceIt is important to make the entrance feel

as inviting as possible as it sets the tone for the rest of the house. We made the entrance into a practical, open and bright space leading to the living room area. The large mirror which is also a clock, is a great statement piece and it reflects light making the entrance area feel and look wider. The sand textured wall paper with the vertical lines in the entrance area, corridor and the living room create the illusion of higher walls and ceilings. The white shiny textured ceramic floor tiles were laid out in diamond pattern as it also helps the room look bigger. The lights and lamps in the entrance highlights the furniture finishes and builds the atmosphere.

International interior designer Anna Dodonovas latest project, a contemporary family apartment located in a new building

development in Knightsbridge, London, oozes style and glamour.

Living roomThe living room is very bright with tonnes of

natural light during the day and citys lights flood the apartment in the evening. The sofas are located in the middle of the room and face the fireplace making the space cosy and intimate. You can get a view of the whole room with the library located to the left and dining room to the right of the living room area.

The cream leather sofas add to the light effect. The sofa design is practical and comfortable as the back can easily be adjusted for more back support. The coffee table has

an onyx table top finish which matches the sofa shade. Anna worked with stone to add another level of texture to the room. For the window treatment, Anna didnt want to overload with too much fabric so she used just enough curtain to give the room the cosy yet light feel it has.Dining room and Kitchen

The dining room is next to the kitchen and overlooks the whole living room. The glass dining table with matching dining chairs gives the space a clean and modern feel. Anna adds the idea was not to block the space but make it look as easy and light as possible.

Master BedroomThe master bedroom is all about ultimate

comfort and complete luxury. Annas vision was to make it a personal sanctuary but ensuring that style wasnt compromised. The lights give the room just the right drama and mirrors widens the space. The soft textures and fabrics on the bed and carpet makes the master bedroom warm and inviting.Family Bedrooms

Anna wanted to ensure that each bedroom was created with its own identity. Both rooms have slick lines and similar dressing tables but the different wallpapers and bed linen in each room gives both spaces its own personality. The luxurious and soft bed linen and curtains make the rooms effortlessly cosy.Details and Finishes:

Anna kept it simple with special touches and the slick shiny chrome finishes throughout the apartment.

43COTSWOLD LUXURY OIts all change for Roundhouse Cheltenham in 2013. The kitchen and furniture design studio in Montpellier is undergoing a facelift - new displays, new designs and new staff.Director, Jonny Morris, and his colleague, Vanessa Joseph, have been joined by Jonnys wife, Rebecca. Rebecca is a journalist and presenter who is joining the team as a design consultant. We have a Roundhouse kitchen at home, says Rebecca, so Im coming to the company with a genuine love and appreciation for what we do. It made sense now that our two boys are at school for Jonny and me to work together at what is an exciting time for Roundhouse. Business is flourishing and I want to be a part of the challenge of continuing that and building a business for our family.Jonny and Rebecca are continuing what has become something of a trend within Roundhouse. The design house started life in the architectural hands of two husband and wife teams in Camden, and the factory in Malvern, where all Roundhouse furniture is handmade, is run by another Roundhouse couple. Roundhouse is a very friendly company to work for and I think we extend that feeling of inclusivity to our clients, says Rebecca. Part of what makes Roundhouse different from other design houses is the way we work incredibly closely with our clients through the design process guiding them and taking inspiration from their lifestyle and needs to create a space that is not only fabulously functional, but that also complements their style and home.Jonny says, Our clients really appreciate the service we offer, from that first early visit to their homes to discuss ideas and get to know them, to our creative and cohesive approach to designing a kitchen or piece of furniture that is bespoke to them. They can even visit our factory in Malvern to watch their designs being brought to life.A Roundhouse kitchen can be anything you want it to be. Clients can choose from an almost limitless choice of materials, colours, finishes and fittings. Whether you are after a classic style, something more cutting-edge or a mixture of the two, the Roundhouse team will work with you to create a space you will love.

ALTHOuGH THIS HOME HAS A MEDITERRANEAN architectural style, the design leans more toward continental European, mixing antiques with interesting textures and contemporary art with more traditional pieces. Just as the furnishings are mixed, the home also merges a variety of decorative treatments, including plasters, faux and hand painted finishes. The Oushak rug, with its pale blues, creams and touchesofgold, tells the colour story of the entirehouse. While maintaining a warm, neutral palette, the homeowners love of blue is gracefully woven into various accents throughout.

The plaster takes the room to a level that sheetrock alone

cannot, giving the space depth and sophistication. The

plastered walls showcase the custom made fireplace and

create the effect that the antiqu plaques flanking the

fireplace are embedded in thick walls.
