ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

ROMAN BLINDS OR CURTAINS GIVE A STYLISH, TAILORED FINISH TO A KITCHEN. NEPTUNE HAS A MADE-TO-MEASURE SERVICE THAT WORKS WITH ALL ITS FABRICS. BOTH ITS BLINDS AND CURTAINS COME WITH OPTIONAL BORDERS, SO YOU CAN HAVE AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE PATTERN AS YOU LIKE. FOR WASHABLE WALLPAPERS, LOOK TO SPECIALIST BRANDS SUCH AS ROMO, VILLA NOVA, ANAGLYPTA AND SANDERSON, ALL OF WHICH HAVE A SELECTION OF DESIGNS IN DIFFERENT STYLES.

WHEN IT COMES TO FLOOR AND WALL TILES, BE CREATIVE WITH LAYOUT. TRADITIONAL ENCAUSTIC TILES LOOK GREAT AS A CARPET OF PATTERN, BUT YOU CAN ALSO USE A FEW MIXED WITH PLAINER ONES FOR A SUBTLER RESULT. FOR SPLASHBACKS, TRY HEXAGONAL SHAPES OR RECTANGULAR TILES LAID HERRINGBONE-STYLE – BOTH ARE JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS APPLIED PATTERNS.

THINK OF UNUSUAL WAYS TO ADD DECORATION – TAKE INSPIRATION FROM DEVOL’S DISPLAY CABINETS, WHICH COME WITH THE OPTION OF HAND-PAINTED BACK PANELS. YOU COULD ALSO LINE DRAWERS WITH WALLPAPER FOR A HINT OF PATTERN THAT’S NOT PERMANENTLY ON SHOW, OR BACK A CABINET WITH A DECORATIVE DESIGN.

WITH A PATTERNED SPLASHBACK, USE HIDDEN LED STRIPS TO TURN IT INTO A FOCAL POINT. IT’S EASY TO INSTALL UNDERNEATH WALL UNITS AND CREATES A LOVELY GLOW BY NIGHT, AS WELL AS MAKING USEFUL TASK LIGHTING. PATTERNED RUGS ARE IN VOGUE THANKS TO THE TREND FOR LOUNGESTYLE KITCHENS. A LONG RUNNER IN FRONT OF YOUR UNITS WILL CREATE A RELAXED STYLE AND HELPS TO DRAW THE EYE THROUGH THE SPACE – JUST MAKE SURE IT’S EASY TO CLEAN.
