Issue 63

Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. 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

Having launched her own practice at a relatively early career stage, Shona McElroy discusses her journey through the design world (so far) in this podcast episode. Indeed, the question of when and how to launch one’s very own distinctive design studio is a topic she discusses at this event with Royal Oak Floors in July.

Meanwhile, Smac Studio has once again teamed up with Hali Rugs and Smac Studio for a new Icons collaboration designed to bring together elegance, personality and a confident design evolution. The collection features four distinctive designs – Vicenza, Monaco, Seville and Marseille – each available in three colours. Pictured below, the new collection will be available from September 2025.
