BLOCK PARTY: HIMACS HELPS TO BRING A SHOWSTOPPING KITCHEN TO VIBRANT AND COLOURFUL LIFE
There’ s nothing like the bold use of colour to make a powerful design statement. This striking kitchen, part of a complete home renovation by Cato Creative, employs blocks of vivid hues to mark out the different zones and functions, resulting in a playful and uplifting scheme.
Two distinctive colours from the extensive HIMACS portfolio add to the drama: Orange graces the island unit and Banana one set of‘ working’ wall units with a high-performance solid surface that offers sleek seamlessness, inherent hygiene and easy cleaning. These colours have been perfectly matched with paint for the cabinets below and above.
“ HIMACS was chosen for its wide range of colours and finishes, allowing for creative design possibilities that can complement any decor style. Its strength and resilience mean it can withstand the demands of daily use, providing a reliable and stylish option. HIMACS forms key elements of the kitchen space,” says Mark Barratt, project designer.
A PERIOD PROPERTY GETS A LIGHT AND COLOUR-FILLED NEW LOOK
The property is a mid-terrace Victorian house arranged over three floors, with extensions at the ground floor, first floor and loft levels. The ground floor is home to the kitchen diner, a family hang-out space, and a workspace. The bright and welcoming kitchen extension is flooded with light from Crittall style glazing and skylights, and it opens onto the garden. A backdrop of white painted walls, clean lines, crisp angles and pared back finishes create a blank canvas that allows the blocks of bold colours to take centre stage.
