Rethink PINK

-

While the pink renaissanc­e is well underway – see walls everywhere – it’s yet to truly conquer the kitchen. Few hues run the full gauntlet from soothing to shocking, so subtleties in shade become all the more significan­t here. Soft putty tones include a dose of yellow pigment that lends extra warmth and earthiness, rendering them altogether more liveable than spring-fresh blush or sugary powder pink (as well as anything approachin­g Barbie). As is often the mantra, a matt finish will keep it all feeling modern, while chalky, limewash paints will add texture.
