Style it your way

A kitchen that’s not functional is no good to anyone, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only thing that matters. An attractive space that’s conducive to family life and conversation is just as important. So how do you achieve it? Well, the same style of kitchen could be used by different designers to create completely different looks simply through the addition of colour, accessories and extras. Take inspiration from this Lookbook.

Choosing just one colour for a kitchen can be a gamble, but with such a variety of shades to pick from, blue is a colour that is guaranteed to pay off.
