Give your kitchen a shot of energy with a bold mood board that takes colour from opposite sides of the colour wheel. In this look from Furniture & Choice, the orange hue clashes excitingly with the turquoise tiles. Yellow, which works harmoniously with orange, helps to draw the look together. Try this technique with pink in a green kitchen, or violet against sunny yellow.

Get organised Create a calmer kitchen by removing all the branding from the space. The bright and clashing designs on lots of different packaging can create a stressful vibe. Dial things down by decanting your ingredients into pared-back storage solutions. Open-wire baskets are perfect for storing fruit and veg, and cereals stay crisp in air-tight glass jars.
