"At the centre of this sleek, open-concept kitchen you’ll find something quite special: a custom-built island, part of which appears to be floating. It’s a space for sharing a meal with family and entertaining friends"

"Design trends this summer are defined by modernity – clean, strong lines, high-tech makeovers, and a clutter free space.
