GRACE IS GREY

Ditch white and go with easy-to-live-with grey! It works well in a kitchen that aims for a calm, contemporary feel. But making a spacious family kitchen feel inviting requires pre-planning, and it begins by scaling up your design so the end result will suit your needs and the room’s proportions. Big-ticket built-in appliances are hard to retrofit, so make room for them now.

SHAKER CRAFTERS ESPOUSED THE PRINCIPLE ‘BEAUTY RESTS ON UTILITY’

GREY MATTERS

Grey or greige tones can look completely different under natural and artificial light. So it’s imperative you paint up sample swatches to test in your kitchen before you commit to an expensive mistake!

UNIVERSAL APPEAL

The beauty of Shaker cabinetry lies in its unpretentiousness. Without elaborate mouldings and lile to no decoration, its understated elegance and simple lines make it contemporary and forever timeless.

PLATE IT UP

Where you can, opt for contemporary full-height storage, not least of all for its cluer-busting effect. As a counterpoint that blends storage and style, include a useful plate rack – uerly charming!
