Dark The Kitchen Environment... Here are my seven thoughts on how you can add colour to your kitchen for the coming year - in the overall design and seven thoughts to add colour with your kitchen accessories. Worth bearing in mind.
I read the other day that Max Factor decorated three rooms for a photoshoot to work with the hair and eye colour of of the models, Pale blue for blondes, pink for brunettes, and green for auburn! Colour has always been vital in creating a distinctive , memorable style. The kitchen/dining room, we all know is the ‘flagship area’ of your home and colour is a great way of communicating your personality and style - the same way as those shops I design communicate their products and brand personality. This use of colour as an integral part of an environment, I thought was great, I also think and a similar approach should be used for your own environment.
The fresh food dept, would use apple green colour for its walls or signage, the toy department - red, health and beauty- aqua colour and so on. As a retail designer, when designing large department stores, I was always taught to use colour to tap into the mind set of the shopper and what they associated various colour with. Now you can be proud of your kitchen colour - and quite rightly so! Life was so simple when the most desirable kitchen was a sleek white room with stainless steel appliances and colour was reserved for the rest of the home.
