HOT CHOCOLATE

Colour trend alert! Sludgy brown cabinetry is the order of 2022, according to kitchen specialist DEVOL. The brand has seen an increasing interest in the earthy hue and in this latest project, based near London’s Regent’s Park, the shade is paired with oak and understated brass hardware. ‘It’s very sophisticated and grown-up and works so beautifully with little glints of brass and black slate,’ says Helen Parker, devol’s creative director.
