SURFACE STYLE As anyone who has ever crushed biscuits with a rolling pin or forgotten to use a trivet under a hot casserole will know, our kitchen worktops are the hardest working in our home. Staron’s new Supreme collection of work surfaces, £350 per m2,

Teak is renowned for its exceptional durability and graceful aging process, but it is also one of the rarest hardwoods, classified as a restricted timber in order to preserve forests. Ted Todd’s Rare Finds collection of reclaimed wood flooring sees teak becoming a realistic and sustainable option for many homes. Sourced in South-east Asia, this antique Burmese teak has a unique colourway. Its Dark Colonial shade was inspired by some of the accidental staining on a few of the timbers, which was then replicated across all the boards. Prices start from £356.34 per m2.
