BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
“ Stainless steel can be an expensive material , so if you ’ re working to a budget , it ’ s worth considering an aluminium option which offers a similar finish . Alloy Brushed Steel , for example , looks identical to stainless steel but is a fraction of the price .
RICH AND WARM
“ Warm , rich colours like plum , burgundy , dark blue and brown are gaining popularity in kitchen design due to their ability to create a warm , inviting atmosphere . The palette embodies moody , dramatic warmth , with colours possessing dark undertones which create a luxurious feel . This colour palette can be dialled up or down , depending on personal preference and style .
“ If you ’ re looking to embrace the warm , deep colour palette fully , then pairing dark cabinet doors with equally rich worksurfaces and splashbacks creates the ultimate opulent scheme . Dark wood worksurfaces add texture , infusing the space with a finish that takes inspiration from the natural world . Alternatively , using dark , deep-veined marble finishes across worksurfaces and splashbacks , creates a lavish , luxurious design .
“ For those not ready to commit to a rich colour palette across the entire kitchen , consider using your worksurfaces and splashbacks to create balance . If you prefer a more neutral colour for your cabinets , then incorporating a wood , patterned splashback could be a great option to add interest and depth . Balancing deep kitchen cabinets with a lighter worksurface can bring balance and keep the space looking light and airy .
