T here is no denying that this winter has been particularly long and hard. Considering we are only halfway through, we should focus on

the benefits the cold weather brings to keep us inspired.As the wind and rain drive us indoors, we tend to

be a little more creative in the kitchen. With stovetops bubbling away with warm winter stews, hearty soups and rib-sticking puddings, it’s little wonder our kitchens form the lifeblood of our homes when the temperature drops.

With this in mind, we take a look at the most often used and most utilitarian of rooms – kitchens and bathrooms.

We have scoured the city for a fresh new take on how to help solve your own creative crisis, whether it be in the kitchen or the bathroom – or both. Take the time to think about tackling a light facelift in the kitchen or a total overhaul in the bathroom.

There is nothing like cold weather to inspire creativity. After all, it’s what Melbourne is famous for. \

Fitzroy inspiration:

this new-look kitchen is

a fusion of charm and

chic. (Sharyn CairnS)

A clever use of space has transformed this kitchen, writes SIAN MacPHERSON

T he brief for the restoration of this Victorian terrace centred upon the clients’ love for entertaining at home. With this in mind, the

team at architecture firm Templeton created a kitchen with a casual living and dining room space while ensuring it could service the original formal dining room at the same time.

Taking inspiration for the design aesthetic from surrounding Fitzroy’s inner laneways, the newly renovated kitchen is a fusion of Victorian charm and industrial chic. Steel-framed bi-fold doors encourage light to flood the room while allowing the room to flow into the garden. The result is a clever use of space that allows for generous entertainment options at any time of the year. \

T he gentle use of colour by designers Doherty Lynch has created a kitchen that is fresh, sophisticated and, perhaps most importantly,

functional. The kitchen of this small Victorian single-fronted cottage was given an overhaul through the use of new windows to introduce light, and a reflective splashback to increase the sense of space. A fresh colour palette of aqua and white is paired with a timber veneer in sophisticated soft grey tones while practical innovations, such as the rollaway table that becomes a workstation as well as a dining area, make clever use of the tight space. A stylish, contemporary kitchen that is flexible and functional. \

T he refined simplicity of this open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed by Mim Design, exudes a sense of calm and an inherently

Scandinavian feel to the space. While the use of colour in the Michael Muir artwork adds energy and a visual point of interest, it also reflects the vitality and energy of the young family who live here. Hard-wearing surfaces and furniture that could not only be easily wiped down but could also withstand the rigours of active lives were main priorities in the final selection. Lining boards, open shelving and the use of timber in flooring and furniture add texture and warmth to an otherwise stark, minimalist space. This is a style that never fails to look fresh. \

MODERN MOORISHT iling a bathroom in floor-to-ceiling yellow

mosaics is sure to brighten the day for all who use it. The golden glow that emanates from the

tiles is complemented by the dramatic accents of black in the accessories, tapware and lighting, which results in the effective anchoring of the space. Multidisciplinary practice Hecker Guthrie has successfully created a sense of fun in what could have been an otherwise ordinarily space. \

Possibly, it’s because they knew that since the late eighteenth century, the village of Lacanche in the heart of

the Burgundy food and wine region has manufactured rangecookers that have always been highly regarded byconnoisseurs and lovers of good living. Over

200 years later each Lacanche is stillhandbuilt-to-order for each individual

customer by this family

owned French company. Available in 15 models anda choice of 18 enamel colours or stainless steel, Lacancherange cookers offer many options including - gas burners,

radiant or induction hobs, griddle plates, simmerplates, bain maries/steamers, fryers, planchas,

gas, electric or convection ovens,warming cabinets - that can be addedto suit your needs.

Why did some of Australia’stop chefs choose a Lacanche

to cook on at home?
