The Personal Touch
When it comes to colour, there are two ends of the scale: people go for earthy or neutral colours for their cabinetry, colours from the natural world, or they go for bright, strong colours, but usually as an accent or through decorations and accessories.
A new kitchen is a big ticket item, especially at the quality end of the market and clients are looking for a long-term purchase. They are not going to be too bold with their colour statements as they want something they can live with for a long time. A colourful accent can be changed more easily than an entire kitchen and accessories can be replaced with no great cost.
There is still a high degree of conservatism when it comes to colour in the kitchen, so for example, a client may go for a cream kitchen but bring in colour with a glass splashback, or opt for one unit in an accent colour, or choose a statement worktop in a deep colour – though again the colour trend for worktops still embraces a natural look, such as dark wood.
We encourage people to put their personal mark on their kitchen, and introducing an element of colour is one way to do this
