Kitchen Elements That Will Pack A Punch
Think Green and Earthy. Shades on this spectrum symbolize life, renewal, nature, energy, growth, harmony and safety.
- And yes, it’s true: GREEN kitchens continue to dominate the scene! The reason being is the serene versatility of the colour. There’s a green for every desired mood. Rich emerald, forest green, sage, mint and so much more. How do you decide? Think of the vibe you want to achieve in this space. A rich, darker green will bring feelings of history and tradition. Lighter, minty greens are for a modern feel, and the subdued tones are for achieving a more organic aesthetic.
- Natural Materials for an “Earthy” look through gorgeous texture. The unique texture of marble, created by nature, will always add a natural element to your space. Stone counter tops take the organic feel even further. When it comes to your cabinets: natural wood or high combination cabinets are the way to go to achieve this earthy look.. all of which you can have designed by one of our custom kitchen experts.
- In with the old AND the new. Utilize antiques! It’s a great way to create a warm, lived-in environment with an element of sustainability while still getting that fresh, new kitchen you deserve. The FarmHouse and Vintage looks will always be timeless.
- Brave Colour Pairings! Picking two tasteful shades opposite on the colour wheel can achieve an eye-catching, gorgeous end result.
