Once you’ve narrowed it down, put your chosen color on a trial door or very large sample and live with it for a few days to make sure it’s the one.’ Bear in mind that you’re looking for a shade that will make your heart sing every time you’re in the kitchen. 'Playing it safe with color on a long-term investment like a kitchen is entirely understandable,' says Fiona Duke, director, of Fiona Duke Interiors. 'But first, ask yourself: will it ever really make an impact, and will you end up wishing you’d been braver? Committing to painted kitchen cabinets requires time, effort, and a whole lot of tester pots. The advantage is in its almost limitless choice of colors, allowing you free rein to express yourself, whether your home is period or contemporary, country or urban – and you can always repaint if you decide to update. One of the most appealing finishes for kitchen cabinets, paint lends itself to both the classic looks of the traditional kitchen and crisply modern linear designs. 'Using curved lines within a home offers a wealth of benefits, including the potential to add both flow and dynamism,' says Charu Gandhi, interior designer and director of Elicyon.Ĭolorful kitchens were once du rigor in interior design, but a shift towards cream and white kitchens saw the rapturous use of color leave our homes in the early noughties, but color-laden designs are back in a big way for 2023. Our renewed love for rounded contours has been fuelled by our desire to get through the tough socio-economic climate, so it is no surprise that more and more people are reaching for comforting and undulating architecture and furniture. With the emphasis today on the home as an inviting family-friendly space – used for socializing and relaxing – regimented rows, straight lines, and clinical design can look a little stark and cold, which is why curvaceous design has come to free from this mundane rigidity. An aesthetic that our homes' have been lacking during our adoration for 20th-century modernism. And curved furniture, last in vogue in the 1990s, may look outdated, but today’s curvaceous furnishings are deliciously different and decadent – it’s soft, fluid, and inviting yet looks playful and fun. Using curves in interior design may feel old-fashioned – less modern than linear, sharp edges.
