INNOVATIVE IDEAS FOR KITCHENS, BATHROOMS AND PROJECTS
FEATURE BUSOLA EVANS
STONE AGE
The trend of white stone for worktops is heating up, so it’s timely that Caesarstone has added the 5121 Layalite to its extensive portfolio of quartz worksurfaces. Inspired by the juxtaposition of soft snowfall and the roughness of metamorphic rock, this stone echoes a wintry landscape and gives a clean, modern spin to any design. 5121 Layalite, from approx £400sq m (caesarstone.co.uk)
White out
Armac Martin has added a new signature finish, Matt White, across all its cabinet hardware, hooks and shelf brackets. This cabinet knob has a precision-engineered diamond knurl which creates an industrial look in a brass finish. However, its newest guise gives it a freshness that perfectly suits minimal and contemporary spaces.
Sparkbrook knob in Matt White, from £34.30 (armacmartin.co.uk)

The Marmosaico collection – designed by architect Carlo Dal Bianco – includes 10 patterns made with marble tesserae, carefully hand-cut according to traditional artistic techniques by the Bisazza Atelier artisans.
