Australian kitchen, bathroom & laundry trends: November 2020

By Skye Viviers •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

From UV-resistant outdoor benchtops, to bold statement baths and sinks, this month’s roundup explores several new ranges that might just inspire you to revamp your own kitchen or bathroom. Plus, we’ve included a bonus pick for your laundry: a very high-tech washer and dryer!

Kitchen

Caesarstone outdoor collection: This groundbreaking outdoor range from Ceaserstone is also the first ever outdoor collection in the engineered stone market! These quartz surfaces boast a high UV resistance, and are available in three new colours; Midday, Palm Shade, and Clearskies. Product pricing, including installation, is around $650 per square metre.

“Until now, there hasn’t been an outdoor surface material as durable as Caesarstone,” says general manager of marketing, Grant Vandenberg. “With our new outdoor range, people can have complete peace of mind for a long-lasting application in their alfresco designs.”

Ceaserstone – ‘Palm Shade’
Caesarstone – ‘Clearskies’
Caesarstone – ‘Midday’

Cosentino Silestone® Loft Surfaces: These high-performance surfaces offer a fresh new take on the industrial style, in five brand new shades; Camden, Poblenou, Seaport, Nolita and Corktown. The names represent five iconic neighbourhoods, each with their own distinctive history and urban aesthetic.

Silestone® surfaces are carefully crafted to replicate the look and feel of concrete, using a hybrid formula made up of minerals and reused raw materials, such as recycled glass. Popular uses for this product include kitchen and bathroom benchtops and splashbacks, bathroom flooring and sinks.

 Cosentino Silestone – ‘Camden’
Cosentino Silestone – ‘Seaport’
 Cosentino Silestone – ‘Corktown’

Bathroom

Highgrove Bathrooms‘ stainless steel basins: Basins and sinks aren’t just functional pieces in a bathroom, laundry, or kitchen; they can also become a stylish focal point or unique centrepiece. Constructed from stainless steel, Highgrove Bathrooms’ new Astrid and Stella basins are built to last.

The minimalist design, and wide range of different finishes (Matte Black, Brushed Brass, Brushed Nickel, and the newly introduced Gunmetal) make these sinks suitable for a wide variety of spaces. Prices start from $520.

Highgrove Bathrooms – ‘Stella’ Basin in Matte Black
Highgrove Bathrooms – ‘Astrid’ Basin in Matte Black

Schots Home Emporium’s freestanding statement baths: A statement bath can be such a powerful piece in any bathroom. Schots Home Emporium have a wide range of freestanding baths, made from cast iron, acrylic, and stone.

Luke and Jasmin used the ‘Bahama Stone’ bath in their Block 2020 master en suite, giving the space the perfect contrast point, according to the judges.

Schots Home Emporium – ‘Bahama Stone’ in Matte Black (RRP $4,950)
Schots Home Emporium – ‘Eiffel Cast Iron’ in Matte Black (RRP $4,129)
Schots Home Emporium – ‘Marietta Acrylic’ in Black & White (RRP $2,059)

Laundry

Fisher & Paykel’s new washing machines and dryers: The 12kg Front Loader Washing Machine is programmed to sense the size of the load and soil level, allowing it to automatically dispense the right amount of detergent and select the optimal wash time. The 12kg drum is the largest ever capacity launched by the brand, making it perfect for bulky items like bedspreads and duvets. 

The 9kg Heat Pump Dryer was created to gently and effectively dry clothes at low temperatures, to preserve the lifetime of fabrics. It ensures moisture is condensed so no venting is required, which is ideal for laundries where venting is difficult, and also allows for the dryer to be placed almost anywhere in the home!

@castleryau have named the talented stylist @stevecordony as their first Australian brand ambassador and he's curated a capsule of their furniture which he styled to perfection at his stunning country house @rosedale_farm 

I was lucky enough to see the pieces in situ last week and I honestly couldn't believe how well it all worked! They were going for accessible luxury and well, he delivered, and then some!

@smartstoneaustralia's stunning Calacatta Viola sintered stone surface features throughout, making a bold statement while being durable enough to be used in the busiest areas.

Inspired by Puglia, Pino's (named after the owner's father) in Cronulla has a real seaside vibe. The Smartstone was also chosen for the outdoor tables due to its UV stability.

SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jas SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jasminemcclellanddesign delivered. And then some!

"With a keen eye for design, they wanted their main bathroom to feel calm, spa-like and elevated with more storage, better layout, and soft, layered textures in a neutral palette. Lighting was another big focus, with the goal of creating a space that felt luxurious enough to unwind in, preferably with a glass of champagne in the bath.”

Is it a yay or a nay for you?

Head to the blog via link in bio/stories for all the suppliers as well as a look at the powder room with its bold wallpaper 😍

The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday w The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday was a real treat. Such an exciting and sleek looking upgrade to my favourite kitchen machine!

The new look speaks for itself and, as usual, the engineering is impressive. Here's the biggest changes that stood out to me:

1. It's SO quiet and in fact SILENT up to a certain speed 
2. It has a much bigger 10 inch screen
3. A new insulated, cool to touch bowl (the inner metal bowl detaches to wash)
4. A gorgeous new matte black design with fluted and herringbone details and made of 30% recycled materials 👏🏼 

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch all prepared, naturally, in the Thermomix! Was great to meet @mise_en_place_aus in real life as well as special guest dessert queen @kirstentibballs and catch up with the lovely Thermomix team.

Tag a friend who'll be coveting the TM7! It's available from next week!
