Q4: How would you create a luxury space for less expense?
 
 
A) Think thrifty: hunt around online marketplaces and second-hand furniture stores for Scandi-style bar stools and décor.

MOSTLY Bs: To satisfy your kitchen desires, build an entertainer’s paradise. Pair a dramatic colour palette, such as kaboodle’s Trends Range, with statement materials and a large benchtop. It’s the perfect recipe to create your dream kitchen and leave a lasting impression and is the perfect place to host friends and family.

MOSTLY Cs: Designing a functional zone will meet all your kitchen needs – especially if you have a family to cater for. Think: space optimisation, ample storage and clever cabinetry. A smart study nook built beside the kitchen would be the cherry on top.   

MOSTLY Ds: A timeless and durable design that doesn’t break the bank is the key to getting the most enjoyment out of your space. Turn to natural-look surfaces that emulate timber, stone and concrete at a pinch of the premium – without compromising on quality.
