23 Outdoor Kitchen Ideas, BBQ, Grill & Entertainment Area Designs

The above image is of an amazing green night lighting over a covered outdoor barbecue cooking kitchen area provides an almost copper color look and is a great example of these fantastic outdoor kitchen ideas.

An outdoor entertaining area can be a lot of different things, and it all depend on the home owner as to what they prefer or what they’re happy with. To some, an outdoor dining table and several chairs with a nearby BBQ will suffice, whereas others like to go that next step further and have a decent sized BBQ with multiple burners and its own food preparation area.

Others prefer an even grander outdoors area and choose to make an extension of their home by having a living room or some other relaxing room opening out onto expansive decking areas with a covered area that is like a second kitchen away from the main kitchen. These are often full equipped down to fridges, decent bench preparation space and even wash up sinks.

Check out this gallery of outdoor Kitchen, BBQ, grill & entertainment area designs for ideas for your outdoor area. There are really no limits to what you can create, but hopefully this image gallery will give you some great ideas.

Luxury Glass Walled Home Shower Designs

Glass Walled Home Shower -Modern master bathroom with large glass framed shower and a tiled edge for seating

Glass walled home shower designs on display here with this modern master bathroom with large glass framed shower and a tiled edge for seating. A triple sided bath with antique bronzed tapware completes this luxury bathroom.

A glass panelled shower can really set off a bathroom. You know the sort I’m talking around; the frameless glass shower panels that almost make the shower doors and and the panel look invisible. Whilst there may be some additional maintenance required to keep a glass shower panel and door looking spotless, the end result can definitely be worth it.

Just check the calcium levels in your water as some water supplies may very well leave what looks to be ‘soap scum’ despots on the internal glass surfaces. Be weary as these marks are often not ‘soap scum’ but calcification deposits on the glass.

The best way to deal with this problem is to provide some form of repellent application to the glass doors and panels. This creates a magical layer of glass treatment that helps to prevent the calcification of your high quality glass shower frames and doors. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and watch the video

Home basements can be a real treasure trove of space. Depending on the ceiling height, the space can be put to much good use. Often depicted in horror movies as scary dark places that house evil spirits and intruders, a home basement area needn’t be anything like that.

This gallery shows off a number of different ways a basement area can be a practical and useful part of your home.

Whatever your special idea is for your basement, give it some serious thought, contemplate the various options, and then dive head first into making the space or area what you want it to be. You needn’t spend a fortune in decorating it either. Depending on the end finish you desire, you can achieve a lot with very little, or on the other hand, you can spend a lot and end up with a real palatial, luxurious area that can be one your home’s true havens of escapism.

25 Amazing Designer Contemporary Dream Kitchens

Contemporary Dream Kitchens -Luxurious kitchen with stainless steel appliances

Contemporary dream kitchens can be a stunning central part of many homes especially if they have custom kitchen cabinets installed. Remember the old song “…I’m always in the kitchen at parties…” states the obvious. People love kitchens. Its where food is prepared, food is cooked and sometimes even where food is consumed, and from time to time, its where people congregate to talk and chat. Kitchens are also for raiding late at night when you’ve got the munchies.

But above all, kitchens are where the soul of the home is created. It will inspire communication, sharing, love and joy. But a poor, dirty or old kitchen can be a sense of frustration. In many ways, you could think of the kitchen as an extension of your personality. The kitchens that are modern, look great and work great are like people who are fit, healthy and love life. (The reverse is also true for the others types of kitchens just mentioned)

If you don’t have a home with a stunning kitcen you’re proud of, then its about time, you saved your pennies and went on a kitchen shopping spree. We’ve tried to help you with the following gallery of amazing kitchens. All of these are modern, sophisticated, fitted out with quality fixtures and fittings and would look good in any home (even yours).

Sensational Bookcase Display Units and Home Libraries

bookcase display units in a contemporary private home library

Having large beautiful bookcase display units in your home to display the abundance of books many of us collect over the years can be a real centerpiece in your home’s overall decor.

Bookcases come in many style, shapes and sizes and this gallery is to show off just a few of the many types you can select from. When buying a bookcase, you often have a lot of ‘off the shelf’ (excuse the pun) choice meaning you can go to just about any furniture store and buy a standard (boring) bookcase. However, if you seek something a lot more sophisticated and custom built, then its worth spending the time and the money to investigate the options.

If you do desire a quality bespoke bookcase, whether its for your lounge, living or sitting room or for your dedicated library, study, office or reading room, you should understand exactly what it is you want built. By this, we mean knowing what type of finish you want, for example, do you want it finished in high gloss white lacquer, or perhaps in solid oak? The finish and the material used to make it are two of the main considerations. Then the next most important decision you need is what size and dimensions do you want it?

Bespoke bookcases, display cabinets, library shelves, or whatever you decide to get built, will become a big feature for your home. In the scheme of things, they will be expensive to create, and could even cost you two or three times the cost of a good quality lounge suite, but the investment will be worth it. Just ensure you factor into your decision making whether or not you want to be able to take it with you should you ever sell your home.

The image at the top of this page is of a custom built series of bookcases built to the dimensions of the room and finished with a tile floor. A contemporary lounging chair and footstool provide the total ambiance for reading

In the roof space of this home, a whole open plan sitting, relaxing, living area has been developed and at the end is a vast bookcase (see the ladder to the right) that gives you an abundance of reading choice. Nicely contrasted against the brown timber floors.

This bookcase display almost reminds you of the old ‘gentlemen’s libraries’ where older chaps would gather and smoke cigars. The dark stained wood and burgundian colored walls add to the ambiance of aristocracy.
