The overall apartment plan was a unique layout with common living and dining areas in an open space and a led illuminated platform with a spiral staircase that leads to the upper floor where the bedrooms are. There was a deliberate attempt to create something out of the ordinary both in terms of layout and ultimately finishes, producing an eccentric and jaw-dropping final result. Jetclass design team used the free-flowing spaces and the exploration of curved and sinuous forms to create a new spatial perspective in this penthouse design. The large oversized windows helped to take advantage of the natural lighting that reflects on the decor elements; it provokes different sensations according to the outside light, changing the inside atmosphere’s mood in line with the external environment. The challenge was…

Identifying a gap in the market for a premium paint brand offering a truly high quality product, they launched their own range of 120 colours in Spring 2018 and began to sell their pigment-rich paints under their own brand of Fenwick & Tilbrook.

1. MAGENTA Paint company Pantone has chosen Viva Magenta as their colour of the year 2023 - a bright bold pink shade that’s sure to capture attention. You can expect to see a lot of this colour in homes this year, from pops of colour introduced in soft furnishings, curtains or decorative items, to statement walls, furniture pieces or fully painted rooms. 2.

Uncompromising in bringing together precision engineering with considered product design, a unique connection system allows the finials ‘emerge’ from the pole with pole in a seamless, continuous form. The fluted design complements a range of architectural interiors.

The classic Ball and Spear finials have been redesigned with sleek lines that nods to the past, creating a union with period homes.

Stairs in many homes are nondescript and as long as they are functional, they attract little attention. But a staircase can be so much more, according to Richard McLane, Design Director at Bisca, who create bespoke staircases for residential and commercial properties across the UK. “Commissioning a bespoke staircase enables you to create an original design to your brief. For a complicated project it is always best to consult a specialist in the field before building work begins.
