Australian kitchen trends: Spring 2020 edition

In kitchen news this spring, iconic laminate brand Formica adds 30 new on-trend finishes to its line-up (can you believe the company launched in 1912?), while Caesarstone moves to the dark side with a textured, matte black stone.

Caesarstone Piatto Black: The black kitchen trend seems set to endure if the latest from Caesarstone is anything to go by. Pitched as the “ultimate dark,” Piatto Black is a deep intense black and is part of the brand’s Deluxe range. The slightly textured finish has a satin sheen for a new, elegant take on matte.

Bocchi Casa ceramic kitchen sink: Available locally at Paco Jaanson, this statement sink is available in 16 colours, in single and double iterations and in sizes including 500, 600, 750 and 850mm. We love its deep shape, statement good looks and that it’s super easy to clean.

Fisher & Paykel classic wall range hood: Offering a heritage aesthetic with modern performance, the new Fisher & Paykel wall range hood has been designed to pair with the New Zealand brand’s freestanding cooker. Available in four classic colours (white, black, stainless steel and red), the range hood comes complete with user-friendly chrome buttons, energy-efficient LED lights and a quiet three-speed fan. $2,549.

Formica: The iconic surface brand has just added 30 new colours to its portfolio including 14 stone patterns, five solid colours and 11 woodgrains, all designed to reflect the latest trends.

Standout finishes include ‘White Cement’ which captures the raw texture of concrete and ‘Calacatta Gold’ which is a white ‘marble’ with large golden cream veins. The new solid colours are equally eye-catching with ‘Olivette’ which is a pale olive green, ‘Teal’ which is a mid-toned blue-green, ‘Bluegrass’ which is a soft grey blue and ‘Deep Sea’ which is a strong bluish green.

Hera by Paco Jaanson kitchen mixer: Available in matte and bright chrome, this new design is a modern take on the traditional gooseneck spout. Art Deco styling springs to mind with its smooth, yet square lines. Priced from a very reasonable $264.

Australian kitchen trends: Autumn 2020 edition

From open shelving (perfect for styling up a shelfie), to a stunning coral hued stone and Gaggenau’s new high-tech oven, Autumn kitchen pickings are looking pretty inspiring indeed. Fibonacci Stone…

Australian bathroom trends: December 2019 edition

Beaumont Tiles

From Australia’s first touchless toilet, to an affordable new Aussie tap ware range and gorgeous large format bleached concrete-look tile, the bathroom scene remains as interesting as ever as the decade draws to a close.

Beaumont Tiles Debris White tile: Ideal for bigger spaces, this large format tile is designed to emulate concrete but with a strong greige undertone. Available in both matte and textured finishes, we love its organic feel.

Benelli Blanche vanity collection: We love the clean, minimal lines of this new range from luxury bathroom importer Paco Jaanson. The vanities combines high-quality timber veneer with solid surface wash basins and, starting at just 600mm wide, they are ideal for smaller bathrooms. From $1,292.50

Rainparty shower rails: Priced from just $200, this new range offers a great affordable solution for a bathroom facelift. The hand shower combines the functionality of a fixed-point shower with the versatility of a moveable shower head (a convenient tool for cleaning the shower recess). The range comes in square or round shaped heads in matte black or polished chrome.

Kohler touchless toilet: In great news for germaphobes, Kohler has just released the ‘ModernLife Touchless’ toilet. The first hands-free toilet ever available in Australia, it’s activated by passing a hand over the top of a sensor that’s positioned beneath the lid of the cistern. Previously, the technology used a beam-based sensor that was often mistakenly activated by general movement around the toilet. While there’s an entry level model, the elite one features a battery operated deodoriser and LED night light too. From $999.

Kohler touchless toilet

Seed & Sprout: The Aussie eco store has launched a new range of over 20 bath and beauty products, all of which are plastic-free and reusable. There’s everything from compostable floss to wooden hairbrushes, durable metal shaving razors, rose gold tongue scrapers and reusable bamboo face cloths. From $6.
