Kitchen envy

Now is the time to be the one to wow your friends and neighbours

COLOUR WHEEL

2019 saw a growing interest in using bold and bright colours in the kitchen, and this is a trend set only to gather pace in 2020. Here, the combination of vibrant colours with natural woodgrains and stone adds light and life to a room.

Darkly beautiful

Deep, dark tones are increasingly popular in new kitchen design, with painted cabinets offering a multitude of options. Choose warm metallics and light worktops for the perfect contrast.

CURVE APPEAL

Kitchens needn’t be all right angles and squares, especially in an open plan setting. By adding curves to end units, an all-round beautiful finish is created that is most pleasing to the eye.
