Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about.

Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Bespoke customisation meets home tech

The Bespoke range by Samsung has expanded – turn an everyday appliance into a special feature with design customisation.


Samsung’s Bespoke range, which has seen the manufacturer expand its offerings into the interior design world, has expanded once more, with a number of refrigerators added to the collection.

The new appliances give homeowners the ability to completely customise the size and colour of their fridges, with colour options able to be applied to individual fridge and freezer doors. It results in flexibility for designers and homeowners to put their appliances at the forefront of their kitchen, as opposed to sitting in the background.

Samsung Electronics’ Vice President – Consumer Electronics, Jeremy Senior, says the new range of appliances was born from trends that came about during the pandemic.

“We’re constantly assessing consumer feedback and insight. We’ve seen this constant change in desire for more colour in appliances. It’s been a long time from whitegoods, to stainless steel to black stainless. That trend is changing again,” he says.

“Samsung’s been at the colour party now in different categories. From a home appliance perspective, it is quite new to us, but with trends accelerating through Covid we really began to embrace it.

“There’s two aspects to customisation. One is the option to change colour, the second is the customisation of space, which allows for the product to grow with you and your circumstances.”

The range of refrigerators offers a selection of modular fridges that account for personal taste, lifestyle needs and sustainability. Fridges are available in four, two and single-door options, as well as a French-door refrigerator which comprises an integrated beverage centre.

Interchangeable door panels give homeowners the opportunity to make their fridges sit out from the kitchen cabinetry. Cotta White and Cotta Charcoal are available in a metal finish, while Clean Pink, Clean Navy, Satin Blue, Satin Grey and Satin Beige are available for glass doors, with more colours and finishes to be available in the future.

Prominent interior designer and Australia’s Best House Host Briellyn Turton says Samsung’s new range is ideal given the smattering of colour that now exists across Australian kitchens. Turton recently designed a sample space for the manufacturer to outline the form and function of the refrigerators within a contemporary kitchen.

“We wanted to play the brief on what people are doing, what they’re searching and what they want in their homes,” she says.

“Coming out of Covid, I know we’ve said it 500 times, but it actually is relevant because people were stuck at home, they began to look at their house under a microscope and identify what they loved and hated, which made people bring their personality into the home.”

Individual temperature controls for each section of the refrigerators are on offer, with Triple Cooling providing optimal control. FlexZone and Convertible Modes can transform freezer modules and compartments into additional fridge space when required. Select models additionally feature wine shelves and slide-and-fold shelves, with French-door models Wi-Fi enabled.
