As consumers become more sustainably conscious, the typical kitchen design has been turned on its head by revered Italian kitchen brand Snaidero, with the company unveiling its first Australian project to feature precision-engineered porcelain fronted joinery.

Designed and crafted in Italy, the fully integrated Snaidero kitchens at Seafarers combine porcelain benchtops with beautiful lacquered joinery to create an eco-friendly, high-end quality finish that is unmatched in the local market.

When designing the Seafarers kitchens, the Snaidero research and design team looked for a material that was sustainable and innovative yet still functional for the kitchen environment. The end result is porcelain stoneware made from natural raw materials including clay, with the manufacturing process producing little waste with the raw materials and water used able to be recycled.

After evaluating multiple safety and travel concerns related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) recently announced its intention to move the 8th annual Design & Construction Week, which features the International Builders’ Show (IBS) and Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) to a robust, all-virtual event platform.

While Design & Construction Week was originally scheduled to take place on Feb. 9-11, 2021 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., the new all-virtual DCW 2021 will still take place the week of Feb. 8 with extended programming.

“Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of our exhibitors, attendees and the thousands of onsite workers who support the premier event of the residential construction industry, we feel the only prudent course is to make this year’s show a virtual event,” says NAHB chairman

Many of us, due to the obscene periods of isolation imposed upon us by our governments as a consequence of the SARS-CoV-19 virus, have turned to interior designers. We have begun repainting and redecorating throughout our homes, changing old features, and adding new ones. Interior design can be very uplifting and redecorating your home can be a fantastic way to alleviate some of the burden of isolation and the depression and anxiety that it causes. Redesigning your kitchen can be a lot of fun, providing you have the financial backing, and the means to carry out your redecorations. This page will hope to tell you what you should know about making your kitchen fabulous. This page will also discuss the fundamental aspects of what will make your kitchen gorgeous – three main points: flooring, appliances, and lighting.

The living room has historically been an over-decorated room used mainly to receive and impress visitors. This room was a status symbol for outside guests, which is why the decor was typically dressed up or done to the nines.

But the American living room has changed a lot in the last two or three decades. In today’s homes, we see less and less the idea of a formal living room—aside from older homes or exceptionally large homes, where square footage and budgets are of no consequence. For the rest of us, lifestyles have evolved, and formal living rooms are things of the past.

Today’s living room has morphed into a grouping of several different rooms into one. The living room, dining room and kitchen have

Columbus Day sales, unlike Labor Day sales or even Fourth of July sales, aren’t really a thing. If you consider it for a second—and remind yourself that Christopher Columbus was a monster who didn’t discover anything—you realize Columbus Day shouldn’t really even be a holiday. This year’s “holiday,” which we will now only refer to as Indigenous Peoples Day, is even stranger, thanks to its proximity to a delayed Amazon Prime Day. The mega-retailer will flex its muscle with an onslaught of discounts literally the day after the occasion. Based on our initial scans, it seems like most of the other tech and home goods retailers are holding their sale cards close to the chest, waiting to unleash their best deals until Prime Day begins in earnest. But for now, there’s still some decent price drops available on a range of gear, especially home tech and furniture upgrades. Here’s some
