When home entertaining in style is the goal, CRL is on board to ensure the home itself lives up to its full potential.
Staying in is fast becoming the new going out, with property owners increasingly investing in upgrades within the home that make the at-home wining and dining experience exceptional. Internal upgrades may include the inclusion of bottle storage, the latest cooking technology and kitchen islands that double as a bar or dining area.
This space was exactly the requirement for a recent project undertaken by Glass and Mirror Technology, who called on the glass, glazing and stone expertise of CRL to create the perfect area for wining and dining.
The customer had ambitions of a dedicated wine storage area. Located in the atrium of the house, the installers created a showpiece wine storage unit, with CRL fittings specified to keep the look sleek and seamless. Inside the wine storage unit, the back wall is clad in Umbra Marron from CRL Stone, a hard-wearing Inalco MDi, stone-inspired surface. With a growing trend for darker materials in interior design, Umbra Marron brings an air of sophistication to the setting. Inspired by the natural beauty of marble, the rich, dark tones are offset by a lighter fleck running throughout the surface, while its textured finish is wonderfully tactile.
Inalco MDi from CRL Stone offers a range of large format surfaces that are not only visually appealing but also hardwearing and resistant to heat, water, and stains, making it an ideal choice for wall cladding in high-traffic areas. This large format surface allows for seamless installations, minimising visible joints and creating a sleek finish.
As the trend leans towards luxurious at-home socialising, CRL’s expertise ensures every aspect, from dedicated wine storage units to all-weather outdoor seating areas, exceeds expectations. With a focus on elegance and functionality, its glazing systems and hard-wearing surfaces transform visions into reality, crafting spaces that elevate the home experience to new heights of sophistication and comfort.
