The easiest way to refresh it is with paint, so take inspiration from one of our four palettes centered around Tranquil Dawn (Grey Jeans 45GY 55/052), the Colour of the Year 2020.

1. Enjoy a natural kitchen with warm gray

A light gray provides a soothing background to cook and catch up with loved ones. It’s a versatile colour that breathes subtle warmth into a space when accentuated with hotter hues. Achieve this with coral accents in your light fittings and accessories.

Soften the industrial look of concrete tabletops by painting your cupboards in light and airy Tranquil Dawn (Grey Jeans 45GY 55/052). Add vibrant green plants for a fresh burst of energy. Keep the atmosphere calm and collected with a casual spread of selected glass jars and vases for a laidback look.

2. Create a happy kitchen with bright colours

Make your kitchen the place to be with fun, bold colours. A feature wall in burnt orange is a background sure to spark energy and life into mealtimes.

Use the split effect creatively and paint your shelving in the same pale pink as the top third of your wall, for a seamless transition between colours. Frame this with a vertical strip of Tranquil Dawn (Grey Jeans 45GY 55/052) to balance the vibrancy.

Coordinate your kitchenware to match the walls for a trendy pop art effect.
