SUBTLE SHADE
Rachel Halvorson Designs is behind this wonderfully textured scheme, featuring Farrow & Ball’s Treron shade on the cabinets, handles from Rocky Mountain Hardware and an original brick floor. ‘I wanted the cabinetry to be earthy yet elegant,’ says Rachel. ‘Softer greens are my favourite neutral paint colour – I think green goes with everything. This kitchen design was all about playing off the old brick flooring and finding that balance between elegant and rustic.’
TONE ON TONE
The sage of Neptune’s Henley cabinetry continued onto the walls has a restful, serene effect. ‘The strong architectural elements, such as the beams, provided instant charm and interest so we decided not to compete with them, creating a simple, pared-back monochromatic scheme,’ says Simon Temprell, interior design manager at Neptune. ‘A light-oak worktop with black-bronze hardware enhances the vintage feel and the result is one of calm, understated elegance.’
