Getting started with your personal lighting plan
Lighting is much more than just a functional part of your interior. It determines how you experience a space - it can activate, calm, or simply add atmosphere. Therefore, a good lighting plan is essential. It's not just about the number of lamps, but about the way you use light for comfort, efficiency, and appearance.A powerful lighting plan starts with observing your space. How does daylight enter? What activities take place? And when do you use artificial light the most? By answering these questions, you lay the foundation for a plan that works - during the day and in the evening.
Stylish details: how accessories complete your bathroom
A well-kept bathroom can be functional, but only when the right accessories are added, does the space truly get character. Do you recognize the feeling that everything is neat, but something is still missing? Often it's the small details that finish a bathroom. Think of a beautifully designed towel rack, a stylish soap dispenser, or a toilet roll holder that perfectly matches the rest of the interior. Not a side issue, but the atmosphere makers of your bathroom.

Which Sink Brands Offer the Best Value for Modern Homes in 2026?
The kitchen is evolving into a multifunctional, integrated living space, no longer just a utilitarian zone. According to industry insights, the sink today is more than “just plumbing”; it has become a key design element that can either elevate or disrupt an interior. The central wet zone is now specified around eleven core themes, including seamless design, whole-home continuity, health and wellness, and material sophistication.From Functionality to Unity: The Seamless Kitchen MandateKitchens are gaining influence even as average home sizes shrink, with 76% of professionals expecting kitchen space to increase over the next three years. Fixtures should be experienced as integrated furniture rather than commercial hardware, since kitchens and living areas are increasingly merging.Here, “Silent Luxury” takes the lead: simple forms, low edges, hidden storage, and visually serene, uncluttered surfaces. Clean geometry, minimal transitions, and carefully placed components (sink, faucet, drain, and dispenser) are essential to avoid visual noise in the wet zone.The New Material Languages: Organic Textures & Saturated ColorsNatural, tactile kitchen elements—such as wood, stone, and even micro-gardens—are being driven by wellness trends. Saturated colors like earthy greens, navy blue, chestnut, and plum often anchor monochrome schemes, while warm neutrals (beige, sand, mushroom, clay, taupe) are replacing stark whites. In minimalist spaces, finishes like matte black and midnight blue add depth.PVD coatings (Physical Vapor Deposition) on stainless steel are crucial for realizing these palettes in the wet zone without sacrificing durability. For a high-use area that must remain pristine, PVD layers enhance scratch resistance, colorfastness, and anti-fingerprint performance, binding rich tones (matte black, brushed gold, bronze, champagne) to high-grade 304 stainless steel.Integrated Functionality: The Sink as a Multifunctional HubModern kitchens must do more with less visual clutter. Workstation sinks offer deep single bowls for vertical stacking, rear-positioned drains that free cabinet space (for waste bins or water filters), and an ecosystem of accessories that maximize functionality without adding mess—think roll-up racks, cutting boards, colanders, and protective grids. Stainless steel apron fronts deliver professional-grade durability in a stylish, low-maintenance finish.
