In dieser Angelegenheit

The impact we are all having on the environment is one of the big news stories at the moment, and for good reason. But it’s not just about fast food chains replacing plastic straws with paper
ones, or refusing to use products containing irresponsibly sourced palm oil – there’s so much more we could all be doing which would make a big difference, including opting for carefully
considered kitchen design. From sustainable materials for cabinetry and surfaces to choosing a manufacturer who recycles waste products to generate heat for their workshop, there are so many environmentally-friendly options which will help to reduce our carbon footprint at the very least. To learn more about sustainable kitchen design and how you can do your part when it comes to making responsible choices, turn to our feature Eco Chambers on page 88. As always, this issue is packed with real-life case studies, full of ideas to help you with your next project design. Each one has it’s own unique style, and each one encountered different obstacles along the way – but the results are all truly stunning. From a classically beautiful, vintage cottage kitchen in the Suffolk countryside (see Opposites Attract on page 56) to an ultra-modern design centred around a high-tech hob (Feel Good Factor on page 44) there’s something to suit every taste when it comes to style. Of course, style isn’t the only consideration when it comes to your home. Bathrooms in particular demand a heavy focus on practicality, although with today’s technologies and materials they can look pretty stunning, too. In Family Values on page 120, you’ll learn ways to future-proof your bathroom to suit both your current and future family situations. Window dressings are another area which have a clear function in addition to providing a feature. With a huge range of options, including curtains and voiles, blinds and shutters, the choices are all laid out for you in Best Dressed, page 135.
