If you have a small space with little room for storage, consider a kitchen island with storage drawers underneath or under-counter cabinets hidden when not in use. Or maybe you like having extra seating on your countertop or peninsula so you can have more people over while cooking together. You could even save space by installing a butcher block! Think about how the item will be used and where it will go in the room. Some items work well in an open-concept kitchen — like a large sink or cooktop — while others look better in a corner or behind an island if necessary (like a pantry). If you got small spaces to work with, consider the placement of your appliances so that everything fits together nicely. Make sure the piece works with the whole room’s style. When deciding what furniture to buy for the kitchen, it’s important to consider the whole room. Choose complementary pieces that can be matched with other pieces in the room…. Read More

It’s a very Adairs-esque approach to take and something for us all to really get our minds into as we emerge from this COVID polava with a hopefully refreshed approach to the world, environment and people we share it all with. We spoke with the artists about they new collaboration with Adairs, their work and how it all works. Join us and find out… How would you describe your work?

What mediums do you work with? We paint with acrylic paints and have some natural ochres we sometimes use as well.
