Versatility in a service island is here charmingly illustrated in Ortwin Hillnhutter's version of the timeless country kitchen. At first glance, the natural wood and rough plaster suggest an almost quaint rusticity... The open shelving combines ease of access with a cheerful busyness well suited to the room that is still the heart - if no longer the hearth - of the home.

Spicy colours have been used to create elegance and cosiness in this interior. The English eighteenth-century campaign bed is canopied in a striped, warm sienna brown silk, lined with yellow and covered with patterned nineteenth-century brown chintz quilt... Designer: David Mlinaric

My mind is on the Hubble

And in here we flip a coin

To determine the inevitable

Yet we keep going in to The Sun

Until it burns past our bones

So there’s nothing left to pick

Not even a misspelled word
