Our clients purchased a condo in the heart of Chicago after deciding it was time to move from their longtime suburban home and embrace their dream of living downtown. Leaving their family home where their children grew up meant that our work needed to do two things for the family: help make the most of their new city life and create a warm and welcoming home for their two college-aged children.
We wanted to make sure the children felt connected to their new home when visiting from school, so they were involved in the design of their bedrooms. By introducing new textures, like a fur stool in one bedroom and a brightly colored zig-zag headboard in the other, we were able to balance the children’s youthful tastes with the rest of the space, forming a cohesive concept that made the whole family feel right at home.
Modern amenities, such as power-operated window treatments and an electric fireplace, were seamlessly integrated into the home, ensuring that the client can enjoy their space with a flip of a switch. The personalized, comfortable atmosphere meant that the clients live and entertain with effortlessness and joy.

Want a Luxurious Bathroom Concept? Wood Castle by Radon is what you should see!
We can all relate to the movie scenes where the actress enters the luxurious bathroom. A scene that depicts luxury and sheer elegance. Eye-catching tiles, elegant vanity, and shimmering faucets. Doesn’t it feel amazing to see. How about having the same luxury to yourself in your bathroom.
There is no denying that we all want to feel and wish to live in such a luxury. Yes, it is even possible with the luxurious concept. So here we are going to see a complete pack of luxury attributes in one single bathroom.
Concept- Modern Luxury
If you are thinking of revamping your bathroom or designing an interior, try modern luxury. But, of course, as time moves forward, everyone wishes to adapt to modern times. So then why do only others have all the fun?
We bring you a full-pack luxurious bathroom. Everything you were looking at in your bathroom concept is right here.
Modern luxury is concept-driven from the user's perspective. But, as we know, modern designs never go out of fashion, and modern design makes you stand out.
Once you enter into the space, you will experience the subtleness and luxurious aura altogether.
Unique interior, stylish vanity units, and modern toilet models make it possible to achieve the "perfect luxury bathroom concept."
In case you wonder, what will you get in one concept? It is natural to have doubts in mind. So here are the six stunning elements in design that bring the best in spaces.
Stunning Design Elements
It never happens that only one thing makes everything possible. Instead, there is a contribution of every element in the design. Thus, the following are the stunning elements in the design concept:
Bathroom Vanity
● The name is Elizabeth (EL 4099), a floor-mounted vanity with elegant essence.
● The vanity has three components that contribute to the user-friendly design. It includes the main cabinet, mirror plus shelf, and basin.
● The body of the cabinet is made up of plywood. In addition to this, the frame of the cabinet comes with stainless steel material.
● Blend of black coated stainless steel, and wooden touch brings the best in the design. The ceramic basin has an intriguing factor. The combination of mirror and shelf is designed according to the user's need.
● Functions: The bathroom vanity gives enough room to store all the hygiene products, toiletries, and some medications. Enough room in the bottom cabinet to place towels, hand towels, and cleaning cloths. The vanity is being designed such that it can have multiple uses. The shelves allow us to place personal items in the order and out of sight.
Premium Sanitary ware
● Stunning wall-hung sanitary ware of modern style enhances the rhythm in the space. Simple and sophisticated style.
● Fauna wall-hung (WHF 404) is a series of premium sanitary ware with easy and clean flushing.
● The style depicts wall attached rimless design, which also comes with a soft close seat cover.
● The sanitary ware is designed such that it contributes more neat and clean attributes. In addition to this, it promotes more hygiene and clean concept.
● Benefits: less risk of bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Neat and slick design contributes the best in aesthetics and functionality.
Blend of Modern Tiles
● Tiles are just the coating material to protect from waterproofing. Instead, they also add more meaning to the spaces.
● Egyptian Beige a wooding-looking tiles which come in 2''x48'' size brings the best in the bathing area. It has been used in the open showering area.
● Besides, the actual size of the tiles is 24''x48''; however, the tiles have been cut from 24''x24'' to 2'x48'' using advanced cutting technology.
● Ruby Nero are the tiles used behind the vanity. It comes in 300 x 300 mm size, which has been crafted by cutting in modern machinery. The Ruby Nero also has one unique element: a cube pattern that makes it more appealing.
● Benefits: The tiles are anti-slippery; thus, it makes it easy to clean the surface. Low maintenance. The cube pattern offers grip application. Less danger of mishaps.
Elegant Shimmering Faucets
● The elegant shimmering faucets are being used in the washbasin, head shower, and body jet.
● A Grande Single Lever Mixer with the touch of gold is used as the faucet in the washbasin. Besides, the faucet is made up of brass, and it comes with a gold finish.
● Single lever contributes to making less physical contact while washing the hands. Less physical contact, more hygienic practice. Brass as a material offers strength, good plasticity, and it has corrosion resistance.
● The Overhead rain shower in the bathing area has been placed perfectly. It gives the feeling as if you are bathing in the rain. It comes in 10''x10'' size in gold color.
● It overhead shower also has brass as a material. Thus, it can withstand hot and cold water due to its good plasticity.
● Experts say overhead shower saves more water than the water in the bathtub. Thus, becomes very economical for the user in all aspects. Less body movement and saves your time.
Taps and Body Jet
● Each element has something to offer; just like that, there is a total of six body jets in the concept. Concealed Body Jet comes with a gold finish and anti-corrosive elements.
● The body jet has high-quality brass material. It is wall fitted concealed body jet. Besides, it offers an adjustable spray pattern that provides the best showering experience.
● The body jet functions well by offering a full-body shower, as it provides more showering radius to the user.
● Body jet allows ultra-fine droplets to release and delivers a massaging experience. It upholds the rhythm and the speed of water flow proficiently.
Thermostatic Diverter
● A thermostatic diverter (THDV-R) in gold color is also being used. It helps to control the water flow and has been made using brass. It gives the option to control the shower, body jets, and spout.
● The thermostatic diverter comes with 3-outlets with high-flow options. It allows you to enjoy the water at the desired temperature.
● Besides, the diverter has the precision quality and offers complete safety to the user. Flexibility to function and operate two outlets simultaneously.
● Grande Plain Spout with Flange(GRA-1023-B) in gold finish contributes to the showering area.
● The flange comes with brass, therefore, offering plasticity and corrosion resistance properties. Allows water to flow easily and can withstand both hot and cold water.
● Flexible to provide high-pressure water without any hindrance.
Indoor Landscape
● Gone are the days when people used to plant only in the garden space. Many modern bathrooms have an indoor landscape.
● Hence, we also added plants to maintain and enhance the look of every corner. Indoor planters near the vanity give the essence of being near nature.
● Small planter at the countertop act as a showpiece. The right showpiece always exhibits your style and individuality.
A design that speaks and a concept which stands out. Uniqueness is not achieved by just adding materials and blending modern elements. Rather it is accomplished with functionality and aesthetics altogether. Therefore RADON brings the unique concept of bathroom designs in one place.
From bathroom vanity to breathtaking faucets designs, all characters in one movie. Once you enter the space, you will not want to come out. Everyone wishes to escape from the chaos. The modern luxurious bathroom concept becomes your escape space in the entire home.
A combination of Slip-proof floor tiling, glossiness, and rough textures stand out in their unique way. As a result, we offer an all-in-one bathroom design. We believe in offering you a luxurious space at affordable prices.

Northern Michigan is the ultimate getaway destination with serene views and abundance of outdoor recreation. This remote Up North house offers nothing short of that. With the nearest major town almost 45 minutes away, it was essential this vacation home offered all the amenities for entertainment and relaxation. Spire worked with the client to create the perfect lake house retreat with comfort and convenience during any season or weather.
The living room with an attached game room is a versatile space that offers endless entertainment. A 65” TV was installed over the fireplace in the custom stone wall. The adjustable mount allows the TV to lower for comfortable viewing from either the couch or pool table. A pair of Meridian Audio DSP7200 custom color matched speakers equipped with a Meridian Audio 218 digital controller were strategically installed on each side of the fireplace. The floor-standing speakers compliment the natural stone while providing astonishingly life-like sound, perfect for streaming live concerts.
The powerful audio extends to the upper level of the home. Spire installed B&W 700 series bookshelf speakers in the executive office and a Triad custom speaker bar in the master bedroom. These speakers are ideal for smaller rooms, while elevating the TV experience.
The large living room windows offer beautiful lake views and ample lighting. Lutron Palladiom shades were installed to easily control the natural light in the living room, master bedroom and bathroom. They are custom designed and fully automated to let in the morning sun or achieve partial shading or complete privacy. Whether set on a schedule or controlled from an iPad, the shades operate quietly and seamlessly.
The technology was designed to be enjoyed just as much indoors as outdoors. With the whole home audio system, high-quality sound can flow throughout the indoor rooms as well as the outdoor patio. While the location may be remote, Spire ensured the WiFi and network connection is strong both throughout the yard and inside the home. A Lutron HomeWorks QS system integrates the control of all the interior and exterior lighting including motion sensing for the exterior pathway.
Since this is not a permanent residence, a control and security system was very important. A personalized Savant system was integrated for full home control of lighting, climate, entertainment and security from anywhere with a smart device . This includes the ability to control the multiple landscape light zones with timed scenes. The Doorbird cameras and chimes with the integration of camera feeds into the Savant Control provides remote communication with visitors at any of the exterior doors. Remote access also allows rebooting of all essential systems from any location.

Main Line Kitchen Design has a different business model than other kitchen showrooms, designers, and cabinetry dealers. The difference helps us to do five important things better than our competitors.
The kitchens we sell are better designed and our designers are more experienced. This is because we insist on showing customers designs we recommend, BEFORE, we do a design they request. This way, final designs tend to be more collaborative and professional. Our designers are more experienced because they are better paid and design with more cabinet brands than at other dealers.
Our pricing for cabinets is less than other cabinet dealers. This is because we do not have a showroom open to the public, and we require a small deposit and a screening before we accept customers. This helps our designers spend their time more effectively. And, it eliminates 80% of the overhead kitchen showrooms spend on staffing, larger displays, and on a curbside location.
We carry more brands of cabinetry than other dealers. This is possible because we display one cabinet for each brand we sell. Through glass countertops clients can examine a brands construction quality, and we display the door styles and finishes of our brands. Instead of the larger displays customers see in traditional showrooms, our customers can view 5 million kitchens on Houzz.com, or the hundreds of our kitchen renovations we show on Houzz, our web site, and in framed photos on the walls of our office building.
Kitchen construction is often better organized and generally costs less. This is because we recommend general contractors free of charge. They supervise construction from scheduling to completion. This eliminates a middleman, reduces delays, and eliminates the fees that almost all showrooms and home centers charge their customers. We are also happy to work with any contractor a customer finds on their own. If we haven’t worked with that contractor before they may need more of our direction, but both companies can benefit from working together and possibly referring each other in the future.
Less problems arise, and if they do, they are handled more quickly. This is because every kitchen we sell is reviewed by at least 3 kitchen designers during the ordering process. Our Operations Manager Ed Sossich checks orders and schedules all warehouse and home deliveries. Our delivery manager Mark Mitten supervises every delivery and checks in each cabinet and part. And our CRM system, Monday, prompts each person responsible for each phase of a customer’s kitchen with automated alerts. This keeps things moving, even during supply chain disruptions, and ensures no step is overlooked.
Main Line Kitchen Design’s company slogan is “The world of kitchen design is changing . . . “. We pride ourselves on being innovative in everything we do. From our web site and how we advertise, to the gift we send each customer upon the completion of their kitchen.
Our business model helps us receive 100’s of 5-star reviews, and makes our kitchen projects more enjoyable for everyone.
We look forward to working with you.

For this project, the goals were straight forward - a low energy, low maintenance home that would allow the "60 something couple” time and money to enjoy all their interests. Accessibility was also important since this is likely their last home. In the end the style is minimalist, but the raw, natural materials add texture that give the home a warm, inviting feeling.
The home has R-67.5 walls, R-90 in the attic, is extremely air tight (0.4 ACH) and is oriented to work with the sun throughout the year. As a result, operating costs of the home are minimal. The HVAC systems were chosen to work efficiently, but not to be complicated. They were designed to perform to the highest standards, but be simple enough for the owners to understand and manage.
The owners spend a lot of time camping and traveling and wanted the home to capture the same feeling of freedom that the outdoors offers. The spaces are practical, easy to keep clean and designed to create a free flowing space that opens up to nature beyond the large triple glazed Passive House windows. Built-in cubbies and shelving help keep everything organized and there is no wasted space in the house - Enough space for yoga, visiting family, relaxing, sculling boats and two home offices.
The most frequent comment of visitors is how relaxed they feel. This is a result of the unique connection to nature, the abundance of natural materials, great air quality, and the play of light throughout the house.
The exterior of the house is simple, but a striking reflection of the local farming environment. The materials are low maintenance, as is the landscaping. The siting of the home combined with the natural landscaping gives privacy and encourages the residents to feel close to local flora and fauna.

Exquisite Worktops and High-end Kitchen Guide
Homeowners
The fuel to every person's happiness: food; is stored in a kitchen. We gotta agree that even if life is created in a bedroom, it is certainly lived in a kitchen. Hence, It is undeniable that every homeowner would want to invest mindfully in creating a proper outlook of a place that nourishes the heart of both its family and its guests. While designing a kitchen unlike other spaces of a home one must pay attention to the choice of materials for worktops, floors, sinks, etc that suit the hygiene purposes alongside the aesthetic point of view, which might usually result in a very high budget plan. So this is where practicality hits a common man as no matter what one`s wishlist is, execution ultimately depends on their capability of expenditure.
However, with sufficient guidance on kitchen design planning, one can drastically minimise the expenses without necessarily having to purchase cheap worktops. The choice of the right materials is just as important as the ability to financially invest in the same, if not more. This means if a person has enough knowledge of what they are looking for, they can cleverly create an exquisite look under a much lesser budget-friendly scheme.
Key Points to Consider When on a Mission to Create a High-end Kitchen Under Restrained Pockets
Estimating a Budget Plan:
Setting a realistic budget before the investment is a very important aspect which shouldn't be overlooked. According to NKBA, a proper guide to setting one`s kitchen budget while planning a new one should look like- 29% cabinets and hardware, 17% installation, 14% appliances and ventilation, 10% countertops, 7% flooring, 5% walls and ceilings, 5% lighting, 5% faucets and plumbing, 4% doors and windows, 4% design fees and 1% miscellaneous.
Pick Your Beautiful Stone for Work-top:
As we all know, beauty is not just conventional, so natural stones, as well as engineered stones, are beautiful in their own way. Engineered countertops are still impressively resistant to scratch and stains. They can almost replicate the intrinsic character and sparkle of granite and marbles. The manufacturing technique of engineered stones has made it so that, wherever they are incorporated, they add a sense of style and class. And with minimal maintenance, they can last for a very long time in a household. One can even go for the mix and matching technique where one can use both expensive and inexpensive buys in such a way that the former occupies the areas on display while the latter covers up for other units.
Being on a budget, though, must not mean hiring inexperienced fabricators to compromise on cost. The short-term result might be tempting but doing so will only increase the future risk thus being more of a loss than an advantage. However, if one is confident enough in their skills, DIY-ing the fittings will drastically reduce the cost of expenditure.
Reusing and Recycling Off Cuts:
While extending or renovating one always has the option to think about how some materials from the previous space can be given a second life. Worktops can be altered to fit a new plan, cupboard doors can be fitted to the kitchen and given a fresh look by repainting, and old appliances can be sold on to help contribute towards pitching in some money for purchasing new ones. The stone remnants and offcuts can always be utilised for smaller projects. Check out these Remnants that are available within your region.
Flooring:
Renovating a floor on a tight budget doesn't necessarily mean that one doesn't care about durability or looks. Ideally, one will still want a decent lifespan and great finish even if it's the most affordable kitchen floor out there. To avail this best possible combination of durability, style, and affordability, consider laminate and vinyl flooring designs. They mimic wood and tile flooring convincingly enough.
Work-top Lights:
Light fixtures are easy and impactful and one of the easiest ways to upgrade a room's look. Impeccable lighting not only makes the room look stunning but also provides effective task lighting to make the space easier and more enjoyable to use. If the plan is to introduce new lighting to an existing kitchen, one can try using battery-operated LED spotlights and strips that don’t need wiring in. Installing them over worktops, under cabinets and inside open or glass-fronted cupboards can create an expensive appearance.
Colour Details:
Choosing the right colour of paint has the potential to drastically change the outlook. For example, just visualise a completely white kitchen worktop. Done? Now similarly, a completely black kitchen. You can't deny that both would bring out completely different aesthetic values. Colour is one of the best ways to inject personality into a space but it's important to get the proportions right. For a guaranteed unregretted approach, you can choose neutral tones for the structural elements that are more costly and difficult to replace, including cabinets, floors, worktops, kitchen countertops, and appliances. Then introduce colour with less-expensive updates to the walls, backsplash, window treatments, lighting, and other accents. With this strategy, you can easily and affordably swap out your colour scheme as your tastes and popular trends change.
Creating Interest:
Worktops
One unique way to enhance the design is by introducing an interesting element to catch the eye and provide a focal point.
Decorating Walls:
Attractive wallpapers add a sense of style to the kitchen. It is a great way to freshen up a room without needing to do a lot of work or spending much money. In a rental property, one can try vinyl wall decals or temporary wallpaper. However, overdoing the work in the hype of excitement will make it worse than doing good.
Open Shelf:
One can utilize an empty wall for open shelves. It adds more storage and creates a display area. Go for a decorative or contrasting shelf to add character. Keeping the shelves clear of clutter and using them as a design piece to show off styled arrangements of recipe books, beautiful objects and interesting pieces is always recommended.
Upgrading Cabinet Doors:
Replacing the cabinet doors is a simple way to give the appearance a brand-new look. As long as the units are standard size and the main framework is in good condition, one can just swap the doors without having to worry about the worktop, splashback, plumbing or electrics. Another simple way to upgrade the units is to replace the handles. Vintage cabinets can be given a modification to look contemporary or vice versa with this simple trick. Similarly, cheap, basic-looking handles can be replaced with beautiful handmade ceramic knobs or adding a stylish leather door pull can upgrade the kitchen’s chic factor.
With all these points and our collection of stones, you will have an exquisite kitchen right in front of you. Our service charges are minimum to make kitchen renovation an achievable dream for all homeowners. Email info@work-tops.com for free quotes and to know about our special offers.

Our Gold Coast shopfitters created an outstanding cafe fitout for these small business owners. This being the second of two cafes, the owners of Kaffe Co. wanted something a little different to their original space, opening up the kitchen and front counter area to allow customers to see right into the kitchen and preparation spaces.
The client’s hope for the fitout was to have all the space well utilised to allow for a full kitchen while catering for plenty of dine-in customers. The cafe design was all about creating an inviting and relaxing space for customers to sit and enjoy a meal on a break from shopping.
Our Gold Coast shopfitters worked around many other builds happening in the new shopping centre at the time which called for a high level of organisation and some problem solving to ensure the smooth operation of the build.
The cafe offers a clean, minimalistic style with polished concrete floors, Hamptons inspired white timber walls and a beautiful timber bench top – all finished off with on-trend copper light fixtures creating a comfortable and pleasant eatery for shoppers in the midst of a busy arena. The cafe owners are now all set with a fresh new look – a space ready to be filled with coffee aromas, delicious foods and plenty of chatter!

Our Operations Manager Ed Sossich checks orders and schedules all warehouse and home deliveries. Our delivery manager Mark Mitten supervises every delivery and checks in each cabinet and part. And our CRM system, Monday, prompts each person responsible for each phase of a customer’s kitchen with automated alerts. This keeps things moving, even during supply chain disruptions, and ensures no step is overlooked.
Main Line Kitchen Design’s company slogan is “The world of kitchen design is changing . . . “. We pride ourselves on being innovative in everything we do. From our web site and how we advertise, to the gift we send each customer upon the completion of their kitchen.
Our business model helps us receive 100’s of 5-star reviews, and makes our kitchen projects more enjoyable for everyone.
We look forward to working with you.

This luxury fitted mudroom, utility and cloakroom was installed for our clients who wanted to combine highly practical facilities with a cohesive design scheme that expressed their artistic aesthetic. What could have been a bland, utilitarian space has been transformed with dark walnut wood, decorative interest and exceptional craftmanship. The suite of bespoke built-in cabinets has created a beautifully organised, multipurpose free-flowing space. Flawlessly spray finished in Inchyra Blue by Farrow & Ball, the dark blue green grey is a dramatic colour which, along with the walnut wood and striking artworks, makes a bold and confident impression.
Bespoke walnut wood features
Walnut, renowned for its deep, lustrous tones has an enduring elegance. Used for fitted furniture and wall panelling, walnut elevates any space, adding natural warmth and richness. As a hardwood, walnut has exceptional durability and is naturally resistant to moisture and warping, which makes it an ideal choice for a cloakroom or bathroom setting. For this project, the walnut veneers have a natural oiled finish to bring out the beauty of the grain. The reeded walnut veneer wall panel behind the built-in bench adds stunning texture and visual interest to the joinery.
Shaker-style doors with fretwork panels
Made to measure fretwork doors and panels like these conceal unsightly features while also providing ventilation. A well-aired mudroom or boot room is vital to ensure outerwear dries quickly and doesn’t become musty. This is especially important for the floor to ceiling shoe cupboard we built here as it helps to keep the footwear fresh. The decorative fretwork pattern also adds visual interest and makes the room feel less enclosed. Integrated LED lighting installed throughout the joinery enhancing safety, brightness and enjoyment to the space.
Custom-made vanity unit
This large, sleek handle-free vanity unit provides a generous amount of storage space with a smart interior arrangement with customised waste management. The soft-closing drawers are operated by a smooth, silent, push to open mechanism. The floating design allows for LED lighting underneath the cabinet.
Dog shower and storage
The purpose-built indoor dog shower is great for hosing down and drying off the dogs. It doubles up as somewhere to wash muddy wellies and golf clubs too. Bespoke shelving and hooks for all the dog paraphernalia keeps the pet zone well-organised and tidy.
All in all, the result is a cloakroom which combines highly functional mudroom, utility and cloakroom facilities in an immensely stylish space. It’s immensely practical yet incredibly stylish with a strong focus on aesthetics and design.
