DISCOVER THE DUCTED DIFFERENCE
A TRUE COUNTRY HOME RESCUE
IN PERFECT Harmony • Each individual room in your home has its own purpose and deserves its own unique atmosphere, however for your home to feel harmonious and inviting, you also need to consider how each space works within the house as a whole. Simply styling each room on its own and incorporating every element and colour that you like into your spaces without thought is a sure recipe for clutter and chaos. However, opting for something too uniform is tiring and repetitive – the key is balance. Here Melbourne Kitchen + Bathroom Design’s editor, Katie Livingston, chats with interior expert Rex Hirst, managing director of Let’s Talk Kitchens & Interiors, about how you can strike that perfect equilibrium between cohesivity and diversity.
Things Are HEATING UP • Nothing is quite as comforting as waking up to a warm house on a chilly Melbourne morning, and underfloor heating is the best method on the market to battle the cold in your home. The luxury of standing on a heated floor in your own home has seemed out of reach for many, but here, Melbourne Kitchen + Bathroom Design’s Bridget Armitage sits down with managing director of Coldbuster Floor Heating, Rick Florence, to discuss how underfloor heating is in fact more accessible and beneficial than ever.
