Quotes
On kitchen designs
“The first step is to decide on your overall style. Do you like contemporary and clean or is rustic your thing? Whatever you choose, it’s important to follow through on that style throughout your kitchen design, from layout to colour choice to fittings and furniture.” – Lauren Austin
On interior doors
“Most people don’t really notice doors, but interior designers and design enthusiasts do. When you pay special attention to your doors, you put yourself in that category of someone who has an eye for design details.” – Lauren Austin
On mid-century modern design
“When we talk about mid-century modern design, we’re trying to create the perfect balance between mid-century and modern elements. The aim is to create a space that is more focused on function than ornamentation but at the same time, everything works well together and never clashes.” – Ben Ibanez
