What was wrong with the old kitchen? Bridget Yeoman: It had a dated look and layout, poor use of space, and the appliances didn’t fit in the cabinets. The surface colours and textures didn’t work together and we were desperate to escape looking at them.
How did you solve these problems? We ripped everything out and started with a blank slate. We changed the layout and recreated the space so that all the elements work together.
What were your priorities? We wanted to enjoy using and looking at the kitchen, so aesthetics and functionality were our main priorities.
How did you achieve these goals? We chose a palette that would show some personality but be classic and not date too quickly.
