THE NEW SHAKER

If you love the Shaker look but struggle to make it fit into an otherwise contemporary scheme, Olive & Barr's all-new Skinny Shaker collection might just fit the bill. Sleeker than the classic style, with refined details like slimmer frames and concealed hinges - and with personalisation available for everything from colour to hardware to storage solutions - this versatile creation is innovative indeed. Handmade Skinny Shaker kitchens start from £10,000, Olive & Barr.

Finish line

This Gold Coast kitchen is proof that brushed brass remains a timeless choice for finishes. Designed by House of Pez and Beith Building & Developments, it features ABI Interiors pieces that lend the space an opulence likened to New York’s boutique hotels - but with a background of walnut timber and Calacatta Viola marble, it’s still earthy, grounded and very welcoming. Zalo kitchen sink in brushed brass, £599; for a similar tap, try the Elysian Commercial 3-way pullout filter tap in brushed brass, £449.99, ABI Interiors.
