COOK UP A COLOUR STORM Set designer Amy Exton indulges her love of colour and kitsch with a no-holds- barred scheme for her kitchen, and has created a home that packs a stylish punch. “Amy hand-painted this eye-popping mural herself, painstakingly taping off each area and alternating between stripes, leopard and solid painted sections,” Henson says. “She continues the mouthwatering colour scheme with apple green on the walls and brightly-coloured metal stools. It’s a total transformation from it’s previous look of magnolia paint and wall-to-wall brown carpet.” Emily’s Decor Tip: Choose one shade and paint everything - walls, ceilings, doors, woodwork, radiators - for an intoxicating, enveloping effect. If that’s too much, choose a main colour for the walls and ceiling and one or two accents for doors, shelves or features. If you feel bold, paint part-way up the walls and leave the top half white, or use two different colours for a wall - in either complementary or contrasting shades.
