The journal / Notes from Otantik

Ideas to live with.

Notes on rooms, materials and the decisions that bring a home together. A little inspiration, with practical starting points for your own brief.

Planning / In focus

Kitchen planning before the finish choices

Storage habits, appliance plans and movement through the room provide a useful starting point for the cabinetry brief.

Room ideas

Crystal brings presence. The room, furniture and available drop help determine the right scale and arrangement.

Room ideas

Start with the daylight, privacy and feeling you want, then consider the fabric, fullness and way the curtains sit.

Materials

Look beyond individual samples to the relationships between timber, pale surfaces, textiles and metal details.

Planning

Five useful conversations to have before choosing the pieces: daily life, what stays, scale, priorities and the order of the work.
