colour in the home Telling a story through colour
The kitchen has been the heart of the home for generations, and is the fundamental inspiration for world-renowned ceramic tableware company Price & Kensington. Rich in heritage and passionate about tabletop accessories and teapots, the brand’s portfolio adds pops of colour into every home setting. Senior product manager Rebecca Jones discusses current trends with Housewares magazine.
