Wild card: Rich teal and redIf you are a colour lover, don’t hold back! The kitchen is actually a great place in which to experiment with colour, because even a small accent can make a big impact. The stained bamboo cabinets shown here have an almost tropical feel alongside the rich teal walls and tiles. Red is a vibrant mate for teal – try red stools at your kitchen island or red pottery on open shelving. Egyptian pendant lights add an exotic touch.Know all about the material bamboo
Space between dinersIt’s important that any diners at your island are comfortable – you don’t want them squashed beside each other with no elbow room. Allow for at least 600 millimetres width per person when seated at an island. This will ensure each diner has sufficient room to eat their meal free from others’ elbows on their plates.
ColourfulColour lovers feel at home in bright, fun, cheerful spaces. The colour may be the wall itself, or you may find you prefer crisp white walls, allowing you to go wild with colourful furniture and accessories. If you’re drawn to colourful spaces, try to notice what sort of colours you’re most attracted to – are they clear and bright, rich and deep or playful and pastel?See how colours can energise a space
Breakfast would be my favourite meal if I had such a nice, vivid kitchen … the vibrant chairs, the dark wooden counter, antique gold pendants and the bright backsplash – what’s not to like? l also like the way teal and turquoise – variations of the same colour – are used on the walls. The almost-but-not-quite match show how much they have in common, and also how different they are. It’s a great effect. Take a look at some of the best eat-in kitchens
20. Location: Melbourne, VictoriaWhy we love itColour goes such a long way to expressing the aesthetic intent of a space, as this scheme by Camilla Molders Design shows. Here, the brief to create an environmentally friendly home is reflected in the bamboo cabinetry and reclaimed ironbark, but it’s also reinforced in the dense, earthy, almost crafty, colours chosen.
