What’s your accent?

Touch of blueDaydreaming about decorating? Harmonious spaces need a uniform, neutral colour scheme in general – the kitchen is no exception. However, this may be seen in some circles as a little bland and boring. White kitchens – worktops and units, glass, gloss, or matt – need a splash of colour, contrast or texture to please the eye.

Red AccentThe easiest way of accenting a kitchen design is by using high intensity colours to punctuate your base colour. It’s important to remember not to over do this accenting however; too much intense colour can be over bearing and too little – well, it gets overwhelmed by everything else.

Touch of redJust using the age-old principal of the 80/20 rule will keep you on track for a pleasant arrangement.

Touch of greenThe cooler approach makes for a more soothing environment; a de-stressing environment for the thinking man.

Touch of blueGenerally, the finest kitchen design uses either cool (blues, greens) or warm (red, orange, yellow), but rarely are they both – unless you are looking for something more left-field.

So, is your accent the cool, sophisticated type or the bold assertive warm?
