COLOUR SELECTION PROCESS To help further, we have provided some tips below to assist you with your colour selection.
Style of Kitchen Choosing the style of your kitchen is a personal decision. A good place to start is by defining whether your kitchen will be of a contemporary or traditional nature. Consider the direct surroundings and take inspiration from other rooms. This will drive the focus towards the design which is best suited to your home and more importantly you.
Layout and Lighting The size of a room and the lighting can often dictate which shades of colour will work well. For example, darker shades in a small room which receives only a limited amount of light (especially natural light) can give a dark and gloomy overall impression. Introducing lighter tones to areas such as wall cabinets will bring a contrasting element to the design whilst providing the room with a brighter feeling. Rooms which are more spacious and well lit allow for a greater scope to experiment with colour.
Neutral Colours Neutrals are an excellent choice for a timeless design, as they have the wonderful ability to make a room feel lighter and larger. Establish a single tone or mix similar shades to ensure a clean and classic design.
Contrasting Colours Neutral tones can also function as the backdrop for a contrasting colour. A hue which opposes in colour or texture can be used to divide the kitchen into specific areas or highlight and create an interesting focal point.
Bold Colours Introducing bold colours will inject energy and impact into a room. Features such as islands, shelving and free standing units benefit from using contrasting and bold colours. Strong colours are best used to add some punch to the design and really make a statement rather than dominate the colour balance.
At the end of the day the right colour is determined by your personal taste. Whichever style and palette of colour you select our bespoke service increases the possibilities for achieving a creative and individual kitchen.

By offering quality materials you can be confident that the kitchen installed in your home will stand the test of time.

Finishing Touches These are the items which are often overlooked when choosing a kitchen, yet they can have a powerful impact on the design and overall feel. Finishing touches are the finer details which combine function and style together and include items such as handles, storage solutions and other decorative features. See pages 72-81 for our selection of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Finishing Touches.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

FINISHING TOUCHES Oak Drawers The First Impressions drawers have been designed with both purpose and aesthetics in mind. Constructed from the finest European oak with dovetail joints, the drawers are not only reliable but pleasing on the eye - suiting both traditional and contemporary kitchens. Organisation is key in the kitchen for a truly enjoyable experience. By using our drawer space inserts it is possible to ensure that there is a place for everything. The optional anti-slip lining offers a further practical and stylish element to the drawers. Available in a black finish, the lining works by limiting the movement of the drawer contents, reducing the noise generally found when opening and closing a drawer.

Painted Doors All our kitchen doors are finished using premium paint ideal for furniture. Although all measurements are applied when sealing and protecting our doors, timber by its very nature moves over the course of its life. It is therefore not unusual for hairline cracks to appear on the jointed section of the doors.
