Create an English country kitchen

An English country style kitchen not only lends instant old-world charm to any home, it’s a timeless look that will grow with you and your family. The key to creating this soft-layered look is the right mix of warm and cool colours. Cool neutrals like dove grey and crisp white are great for walls, as they essentially act as chameleon colours, helping to highlight the other features and hues in the room.

Adding warm colours in equal doses will help to make sure the room doesn’t feel stark or clinical. A dining table decked out in a soft pastel, like baby blue or mauve, will help soften the space and give the cool colour scheme a cosy feel. For a dash of rustic charm, you can’t go wrong with timber furniture or cabinetry, especially when paired with crisp white walls, bronze tapware and classic accessories.
