4. ON-CUE COLOUR


When it comes to the kitchen units themselves, colour is still big news. Magnet has more than 20 coloured kitchens for example, including their new Dunham, shown here [4] in Pass the Merlot and Truffl e Oil, part of the new Create paint-to-order range. The picture of it here illustrates how the earthy red tones of Pass the Merlot combine with neutral Truffl e Oil to allow an injection of colour to be introduced without it becoming overpowering. Alternatively, the contemporary Major collection


from Schmidt, also shown here [5], is available in a choice of six wood stains and 15 open grain lacquers, and light wood fi nishes like this can easily be brightened up with accessories, small appliances and textiles in patterns, prints or pops of colour. Here, the clean lines and fuss-free fi nish of the neutral Slowwood oak veneer has been brought to life with open shelving units in Moody Blue. If strong colour is not for you, it can be hard to beat an all-white kitchen for a stop-you-in-your tracks look, and we love Harvey Jones’ smooth, sleek Linear range [6]. Melissa Klink, the company’s head of design, has some sensible words of advice, though. “To avoid a clinical appearance, choose a soft lighting scheme with pendant lamps to add depth and a touch of warmth,” she says.

7. DXD fridge-freezer, from £1,710, AGA, Tunbridge Wells & Sevenoaks (agaliving.com)


If they aren’t built in, appliances can have a surprisingly dominant effect on the look of a kitchen so need careful thought too. For a touch of French style, we love the freestanding DXD fridge-freezer from AGA [7]. Available in stainless steel, dark inox, black and ivory, it looks as at home in a country kitchen as in a modern apartment, comes with an A+ energy rating, an impressive 557 litre capacity and a clever Quick Drink Mode that lets you chill a bottle of wine fast – it will remind you to take it out again too, before it gets icy!
