Smeg release new range of on-trend white kitchen appliances

A hunger for change and a further blurring of the demarcation between living and food prep zones, has seen white take pole position in kitchen design. Paying homage to the beauty of white, Smeg has released its new Linear collection with a series of elegant white ovens in lustrous, light-reflective white glass and stainless steel.

The clever use of white creates a sense of seamless space – imagine a white induction cooktop on a white marble benchtop. Or a bank of sleek, minimalist ovens built into a white wall. The kitchen will recede into the overall living area, giving a sense of spaciousness and contemporary sophistication.

Fashionable dark flooring inside and out with Feast Watson

Sponsored by Feast Watson

Deck stains have come a long way and are as much about aesthetics and creating a fashionable entertaining space as they are about maintaining and caring for your timber these days. It’s now perfectly possible to bring the indoors out for a seamless entertaining room/area, which we know Aussies love!

Feast Watson's Black Japan. You control the itnensity of the final finish by choosing how many coats

If you’re automatically thinking of warmer tones, stop right there! Colours like Feast Watson’s Black Japan and other darker stains provide a great contrast for the neutral colours you might have on your lounges and rugs. Now you can achieve similar finishes and colours on floors inside and out, creating a seamless transition.

Feast Watson’s Black Japan Floor Finish is perfect for savvy homeowners who are looking to introduce a dramatic dark flooring style into their interiors. Something as simple as beautiful floorboards can really set the tone for a room and make a big difference, just like a coat of fresh paint on your walls. This product uses a three-coat system, so you can even choose the intensity of the colour.

Feast Watson’s Timber and Decking Stain for exterior use

And while outdoor spaces have truly become an extension of our living areas, where we relax and entertain, we mustn’t forget that the harsh Aussie elements, not least the sun and its damaging UV rays, mean they need maximum protection to keep them looking their best.

Gone are the traditional methods of achieving these finishes, with a direct stain and a clear top coat. The reformulated Timber and Deck Stain by Feast Watson creates a beautiful finish while still allowing the natural grain of timber to shine through. You can continue the dark look in your alfresco area using the stain in Black Japan or Taman Merbau. The stain adds colour to timber without hiding the natural grain. It’s ideal for making timber coordinate with your house and landscape design, or to renew the colour of grey, weathered timber.

With its oil rich formula, it protects timber from the destructive effects of weathering. With additives to protect against water, UV and mould, Feast Watson Timber and Deck Stain keeps timber looking beautiful for longer. Available in four pre-packaged colours, Timber & Deck Stain is resistant to cracking, peeling and blistering and is suitable for use over bare and previously coated timber. For stunning interiors inside and out, there is a Feast Watson product available for every surface to achieve perfect looking timber floors.

To find out more about Feast Watson products and their application, visit their website and for inspiration, check out the Feast Watson Pinterest page.

New Breville Sherbet range is a bit of all white

I assumed the new Breville Sherbet range might be yellow. Sherbet always makes me think of lemon sherbet lollies (is it just me?). It is in fact white, but with a pearlescent finish. In a sea of coloured kitchen appliances I guess you have to find a way to stand out and maybe that’s by keeping it simple!

BREVILLE-LIFESTYLE-sherbet

Breville say: “These Scandinavian-like finishes make eye-catching additions to white on white kitchens and deliver dynamic contrast to stronger colour schemes.”

All-whites almost too pretty to eat off

But you really must eat off these Markey & Lockyer creations because it’s totally safe to do so and just look how good they look with cake on them!

Marley and Lockyer 3

You may have noticed a bit of a theme emerging on Interiors Addict recently, of handmade and upcycled products from small, independent businesses. I just love the idea of owning one-offs and things made with love and by hand. I won’t pretend I don’t own my fair share of mass manufactured “stuff” but I also love to pay a little extra for something I know is worth it. And there’s nothing like knowing the story behind something too.
