KITCHENS & BATHROOMS

Launches, innovative products and inspiring ideas

SHINE BRIGHT

Lighting specialist Pooky has unveiled a collection of bathroom lights that feature an elegant swan-neck fitting. Aquila, with its antique brass finish, is reminiscent of art deco design, and the mouth-blown fluted glass shade has a chic teardrop shape. Aquila wall light, from £105, Pooky.

IN THE WASH

The Haberdasher’s freestanding pantry by DEVOL, previously only available in unpainted classic oak, has now been launched in a new finish, Sheer Stocking White. The one-coat tinted oil creates a pale wash over the wood, giving it a lighter appearance without compromising the look of the grain. It’s a mid-century-inspired piece that perfectly complements neutral kitchen schemes. The Haberdasher’s freestanding pantry, from £4,540, DEVOL.

ECO CHOICE

Sustainability is the buzzword of modern kitchen design and Ikea is making an impact with its Bodarp range. The kitchen and door fronts are finished in a tactile matt grey-green foil made from recycled PET bottles. Produced in factories using renewable energy, they are also resistant to staining and moisture and easy to clean. But perhaps best of all – they also come with a 25-year guarantee. Bodarp drawer fronts, from £14, Ikea.

PRETTY IN PINK

Colour is big news for bathrooms this year and this ribbed bath in pale pink is a beautiful transition from white. Casini bath in Satin Rose, L168xw75xh57cm, £3,500, BC Designs.
