Re-centre our spaces, and re-acquaint ourselves with the quiet joy of preparing tasty, nourishing meals that can bring you back to life.

Spark Inspiration


It’s a common misconception that your kitchen surfaces need to be kept clear, with utensils and appliances hidden away, which in-turn means they are quite often neglected. Take inspiration from chefs and professional kitchens and display the functional. Having your appliances, utensils and ingredients out makes your space look homely and inviting. With everything in easy reach, and veggies piled high in generous bowls, you'll be inspired to create culinary delights and uphold your New Year healthy food resolutions.

KitchenAid’s new Limited Edition Light & Shadow Stand Mixer is no exception - and Abi's latest obsession. 


Its iconic design in sand-stone effect die-cast metal, and black ceramic studded bowl adds texture making it a fab worktop feature, it also gives your kitchen a professional feel. Coupled with the quality synonymous with KitchenAid it marries function and style effortlessly - and is the ultimate culinary companion.

AA Styling Tip

Decorate and accessorise your kitchen like you would your living room, this will help to integrate it with the rest of your pad.

Create a Natural Flow

With so many of us favouring open plan living, it’s important that the kitchen should feel connected to any rooms that lead from it and flow harmoniously with the rest of our home. Decorate and accessorise your kitchen like you would your living room, not just rugs, but art, table lamps (portable LEDs if plug points are an issue), an extravagant light - and OF COURSE, botanicals & faux plants. 



Pockets of Glow

Kitchen lighting can be harsh. Soften it up by using table lamps or portable LEDs. They give an ambient glow and connect the kitchen to the other rooms that lead from it.

Add Height & Scale

Open shelves are a great opportunity to style up your earthy kitchenware and recipe books. Just remember to create a skyline effect and mix up the heights and scale. Don't be afraid to go large.

Contrast Textures

Reign in the palette but mix up your textures. Gnarled wooden chopping boards, hand thrown mugs and glass jars all sit beautifully together and intrigue the eye.

Get Cooking


Taking time to prepare something nourishing is good not only for our bodies but our minds and soul too. An active kitchen engages all of our senses, just chopping and preparing ingredients can be a meditative process and cooking with friends or family is a brilliant way to connect and make new memories together. Abi loves to cook and is passionate about using ingredients that nourish.
