COLOUR WHEEL
2019 saw a growing interest in using bold and bright colours in the kitchen, and this is a trend set only to gather pace in 2020. Here, the combination of vibrant colours with natural woodgrains and stone adds light and life to a room.
Lastra Fjord and grey grained oak, from £3,700, lochannakitchens.co.uk
Darkly beautiful
Deep, dark tones are increasingly popular in new kitchen design, with painted cabinets offering a multitude of options. Choose warm metallics and light worktops for the perfect contrast.
Haddon in charcoal, £15,000, burbidge.co.uk
CURVE APPEAL
Kitchens needn’t be all right angles and squares, especially in an open plan setting. By adding curves to end units, an all-round beautiful finish is created that is most pleasing to the eye.
Ashton collection from £15,000, crown-imperial.co.uk
UP AND DOWN
We tend to keep floor tiles on the floor and wall tiles on the wall, but running your chosen floor tiles up onto the built-in furniture, as seen here, creates an elegant flow across the space, tricking the eye by changing the perspective.
Elicit Woodland 60x60 tiles, £39.95, wallsandfloors.co.uk
