A dash of chequerboa­rd flooring underfoot

Checked patterns on your walls and floors lend a playful energy to the kitchen. The simple square shape of the tiles makes them easy to lay, just remember to arrange your tiles before you start laying them out. This will help to avoid running short of one of your colours.

A splash of yellow

Sunny kitchens strike an optimistic note, especially in the dark winter months. Be bold and paint your cabinets in joyful shades of buttercup, egg yolk and gold. These colours have red undertones, which will feel cosy and calming when applied over large areas.

A spot of frilly lighting

These French-style pendants have recently hit the high street with a range of gorgeous materials and colours to choose from. The scalloped edge of the shades helps to soften the look of even the most industrial-style kitchen.

A medley of vegetables

Kitsch ceramics, inspired by Portuguese designs, are gracing the tables of all our favourite instagramm­ers. There’s still time to get in on the action by finding cheap pieces from re-sale sites as many sellers haven’t yet picked up on this trend. These sweet pieces from Typhoon will make a statement without you having to do any searching.

A touch of ceramic detailing

Small details make all the difference when it comes to styling up your sink. Choose taps with subtle vintage styling for a simple but effective heritage twist. Ceramic handles give a traditiona­l look and will make doing the washing up a much happier prospectfl
