If you have a large open space in your home and it looks boring – what about this idea of painting a dramatic star shape in the middle of the room.

This is how Miles Reed countered this large kitchen space.

His design style has been described as “a playful mix of high and low, emboldened by color and modern gestures but grounded in practicality”.

The black star is a dramatic contrast to the pale flooring but pairs well with the dark walls, cupboards and benchtop.
