Kitchen<br />

The beating heart of the home, the kitchen is<br />

the room that the whole family rotates round. If<br />

you are considering an update, we have a look at<br />

what’s hot in the kitchen world<br />

PAINTED ISLAND<br />

What about homeowners who want to update their<br />

existing space without a complete kitchen renovation?<br />

One of the best ways to inject colour <strong>and</strong> new life into<br />

the kitchen is to paint the isl<strong>and</strong> base.<br />

GREEN AND<br />

BLUE HUES<br />

Shades of blues with more green<br />

undertones are a refreshing change.<br />

It immediately creates a wow factor,<br />

adds interest <strong>and</strong> provides contrast.<br />

Deep hues always give a classic feel<br />

that never feels overly-trendy.<br />

BACKSPLASH<br />

White kitchens are still<br />

trending, but a bolder<br />

backsplash is perfect to add<br />

that pop of pattern or colour,<br />

creating a playfulness to your<br />

home. It’s also a great way to<br />

inject new life without a whole<br />

large-scale refurbishment.<br />

ARCHITECTURAL<br />

DETAILING<br />

Make a statement by using brick slips<br />

or interesting glazing to let the bones of<br />

your kitchen really sing.<br />

HIGH<br />

CONTRAST<br />

Whilst all-white kitchens will<br />

always be in style, we’re<br />

seeing a shift away from<br />

the monochrome look in<br />

favour of mixed materials<br />

<strong>and</strong> pops of high-contrast<br />

paint applications. The core<br />

of the classic white kitchen<br />

remains, but black painted<br />

or ebony stained finishes are<br />

becoming a staple to add a<br />

bit of punchy interest.
