Farrow and Ball's Railings: The Versatile Blue-Black for Timeless Interiors
Margherita loves Railings for its ability to act as a blue-black, offering a less sharp alternative to black. She used it on a Victorian staircase, paired with a sisal runner, for a modern yet elegant entrance. Railings pairs beautifully with warm whites like Joanna by Little Green, creating a sophisticated contrast.

Margherita explains that hob placement depends on island size and kitchen use. "We would usually place the hob only on bigger islands," she notes, highlighting the benefits of downdraft extractors. Studio 29's designs in Norfolk and London showcase these principles, balancing utility and style with innovative solutions.

Margherita advises against placing washing machines in kitchens due to noise. Ideal spots include utility cupboards on landings or partitioned sections in long bathrooms. For space-saving, she suggests reduced-depth washers or combined washer-dryers, and designing utility cupboards with shelves and worktops for efficiency.
