Main Highlights
Timber Battens
Architecturally, timber battens are a big hit. They’re being used for feature walls both internally and externally, staircases, room dividers and even ceilings. We’re seeing lots of new builds incorporating them into kitchen islands to replace panels and accentuate curves (which is very on trend).
Stone Benchtops
You can’t deny that stone benchtops and splashbacks are the top choice, especially for high-end kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. It’s a beautiful, natural and durable option for these high traffic areas. Granite Transformation’s exclusive stone has the added benefit of less maintenance as it’s heat, scratch and stain resistant without the need to apply ongoing sealants.
LED strip lighting

Courtesy of Kitchen Stories
A quick and easy weeknight dinner, this delectable crispy chicken with lemon and butter sauce will be a sure favourite in your home.
Make sure you choose chicken with the skin-on, as this is what crisps up in the oven.
Serve with warm bread to mop up the yummy lemon-butter sauce.
For a variation, you can slice the asparagus into smaller pieces before cooking and toss it with the sauce and cooked pasta.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
