How do you pick the right colours and finishes for your kitchen? In this episode of ‘Love Your Kitchen’, Faye Newman is joined by her guest Kate Parslow to cover all you need to know about choosing the right kitchen design in a colour you love rather than following trends so your kitchen will truly stand the test of time.
This episode offers tips on achieving the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics in your kitchen, while also covering key features such as lighting and storage solutions. With these insights, you'll be equipped to create a kitchen that is both visually stunning and perfect for everyday use.
Key Takeaways
Start by making functionality your top priority, but don't forget to add in some aesthetic flair with elements like cozy lighting, tasteful art, and soft fabrics. These little touches can really transform your space into a warm and inviting space.
To give your kitchen that lived-in vibe, consider adding some greenery with plants, opt for open shelves to showcase your everyday essentials.
When it comes to choosing colours, take your time to gather inspiration from various sources. Test out different samples to find the perfect hues that not only speak to your personal style but also have staying power for years to come. Trust your instincts and go with colours that truly resonate with you.
Best Moments
“…just try and remember that this is supposed to be the exciting part of your design. Allow yourself enough time so that you pick the right colour choices for you.”
"Lighting should be where you need that light, you shouldn't particularly notice the lights on the ceiling, you should notice what that light is lighting up.”
"I think kitchens can be quite hard sanitised spaces, you know, all the surfaces are hard flooring, you've got your work tops, you've got your tiles, and it's really important to balance that out with some softness.”
