This blog will cover interior design much more extensively, including design ideas, current interior trends and design news. Think of it as a huge addition to this web site, which will still be updated regularly with information on current trends.
When a new product is offered designer's minds immediately start turning over imagining how the material might be used, and what effect it will have on the feel of the home. Where do our design team draw their inspiration from?

Kitchen’s have come a long way over the past decade. What was once considered just a place to prepare meals – is now the focal point of many new homes. So what are customers wanting in a kitchen.
According to Metricon’s Studio m Manager- Tamara - gloss finishes are in high demand.
“Gloss finishes are continuing to be popular with our customer’s. This type of finish adds a real contemporary, modern feel to the kitchen. It is also a surface that is easy to maintain.
A trend we are also seeing move of is the integration of appliances into the kitchen. Now, more than ever, the kitchen is considered the hub of the home and is a great place to entertain guests – should you have the right set up. By integrating appliances such as a coffee machine – can really accentuate the kitchen’s functionality and give the kitchen a streamlined effect.
When servicing customers in Studio m, we are finding that they are also carefully considering re-sale value of their home when choosing interiors. So by modernising the kitchen and really making use of the space – makes the home very appealing if you were to sell. A great example of this is the Nelson on display at Alamanda. This kitchen really captures these elements,” concluded Tamara.
