So new residents can completely change the look of their kitchen or bedroom furniture by simply having the furniture sanded down and repainted. Or you may wish to rennovate your kitchen to smarten it up and give it a new look.

If you are planning a new kitchen or new furniture, you need to consider not only thr elayout but also the colours to be used. As inglish design are not only cabinetmakers and designers but also qualified interior designers, we can help you with colour selection. So once you have decided on the layout of your Inglish Design bespoke kitchen or furniture , you can make the correct choice of paint colour. The shades of paint you choose for your new kitchen or furniture will create the overall feel for the room, and can also be used to reflect style. Inglish Design kitchens are generally hand painted in Farrow and Ball paints. We favour Farrow and Ball because of the paint quality, but also because of the colour palette they have to choose form. The kitchen is a big selling point of every home, and it’s the area of daily activity. More and more people are creating open plan kitchens, so much time is being spent in this part of your home. Choosing the right colours is key to making the most of your kitchen and the kitchen area as a whole. To make the most of any painted kitchen, you may want to use paint colours that work to enhance the cabinets but also the space. So you need to consider light – both natural light and the lighting you plan to use. You also need to consider the proportions of the room, is it a small room that would benefit from look larger, or is it a large open plan room which might look cold and clinical. Pale walls, floors and cabinets give the illusion of space, but you must use accent colours so that your finished look isn’t bland. A large room will need depth of colour, and variation of tone, so consider carefully the wall, floor and ceiling colour, choose kitchen cabinet colour and accent colour. By adding timber elements to a large room it will soften add a warmth to it. Farrow & Ball offer the following guide to selecting colours;
-
Start by thinking how light moves through your house and the effect it has at different times of the day
-
Consider the period of your property and whether this also influences your choice
-
Think about the colours you are comfortable with – look at your clothes, your car, furniture and fabrics. Decide on a palette that feels right to you
-
Don’t be tempted to use too many colours on architectural features as you may distract from the very thing you are trying to enhance
-
The traditional approach to decorating is more colour on the walls than on the woodwork; however, reversing this can be equally effective
-
Monochromatic schemes are particularly good for irregular shaped rooms as they help to iron out any visual faults
These are very useful tips, and will help guide you towards an overall palette of colour for your kitchen.
