This year Oakleys Plumbing Supplies will celebrate 145 years in business. Opening a new showroom in Cromwell, the company demonstrates a commitment to leading the way for customers.
All in Innovation
The quiet kitchen
With kitchens located in the heart of our living areas, noise levels can be a big issue. Abode’s kitchen design expert, Nicky Claridge of NC Design, introduces some of her favourite quiet kitchen technology.
From dream to reality
Thanks to Palazzo Kitchens’ state-of-the-art design technology, clients can now expect a next-level customer experience.
Wrap your home in wool
For true warmth and comfort you can't beat wool, and with Terra Lana woollen insulation the unique qualities of this natural wonder fibre promise a drier, healthier and more comfortable home.
Superhome Movement Tours
The goal of the Superhome Movement is to mitigate the effects of housing on the environment by normalising healthier, resource-efficient homes which utilise renewable and passive energy, collect and reuse rainwater and minimise waste. The Movement provides open source sharing of new design ideas, technologies and building techniques, by connecting leading experts in the industry with each other and the wider community.
The wonders of wool
Wool carpet endures as a luxurious and resilient floorcovering and Cavalier Bremworth is a company that firmly believes wool is worthy of our loyal following.
All under one roof
Palazzo Kitchens’ spacious showroom is the perfect place to start the search for your dream kitchen.
Function with great form
Combining the functionality of the mixer and the kettle makes perfect sense when space is at a premium and, with help from Oakley’s Plumbing Supplies, you can make the switch without sacrificing style.
’tis the season
It’s time to celebrate and, whether you’re serving the drinks indoors or al fresco, Total Food Equipment have just the thing to take the smash out of your bash.
The best of the best special
Here at Abode we have been reflecting on the year that’s been, a year filled with amazing projects we have had the privilege of featuring. In all cases, the homeowners were welcoming, showing us around, talking through the build process and singing the praises of the builders and contractors involved. To celebrate, we got together and pored over the projects that graced the pages in 2018 to select our Best of the Best, so called because all the homes we feature are of an incredibly high standard.
