Kitchen
A rich, deep green is one of the most soothing and restful colours out there. It may seem a bold choice that could overpower a space, but its presence is one of peace and tranquillity, reminiscent of forests and fern-filled gullies. While strong, it’s a world away from brash. Too often it’s overlooked, as homeowners opt for crisper, paler colours in a bid to soothe their space. But, as these images demonstrate, taking the plunge and going dark can result in a cool, calm and sophisticated scheme.
Here, a sleek, upright radiator fits neatly onto a narrow section of wall, blending seamlessly with the off-white paintwork. Setting the radiator into the wall prevents it from obstructing the walkway into the room. Next, ensure your radiator will heat the space correctly and maximise its output by insulating the wall behind it. Assuming it will be out of sight, a foil sheet fixed to the wall behind the radiator will reflect heat back into the room.
Add style to your kitchen This deep green kitchen has a lovely old-world elegance. The shade highlights the classic design of the cabinetry by creating deep shadows in the panels. Green and brown are often found together in the natural world, so it’s a good idea to team the two colours together. The deep hue looks beautiful next to the light wood and natural materials.
