shades of grey


Pale and interesting with a hint of dark moodiness – that’s the trend for kitchens this summer

itchens come in all colours these days, but not everyone is brave enough to choose bold brights for their units, so neutrals have long been popular – and grey is the most recent interpretation of this, with a darker shade or two used judiciously alongside it to give the look extra depth and interest. Hayley Simmons, Head of Merchandising for Magnet, which has showrooms in Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks, says: “Mixing two tones works well and creates a modern fi nish, but stick to two or three colours at most to ensure a cohesive look. Applying the 70/20/10 rule will


help to keep you on track – go for 70% of the lightest shade, 20% of the second lightest and 10% for the darkest shade.” LochAnna Kitchens has recently introduced a painted Shaker-style collection, the Washington, and the Dust, Porcelain and Graphite combination [4] makes it bang on trend. Its velvet-smooth doors give the range a high-end feel, and there’s the option to create a traditional look with mantel shelves, wine and plate racks, or a more contemporary effect with square end posts. Despite its luxury looks, the range is surprisingly affordable, starting at just £7,000 for a complete kitchen.
