Apartment Kitchen Makeover

Design Brief:

To lift the apartments' spirit for the minimum amount of expenditure as possible, and for the owners to be able to do it themselves.

Add value to the home, and include some personality into the space. Make it different to all the other apartments in the complex.

Original Kitchen

The one overall color of the kitchen cabinetry and the walls required breaking as it was very boring in a small space and there were no real features in the room.

New Kitchen

Deep red was selected for the walls, which contrasts wonderfully with the deep green bench top, (complementary color scheme).

These two colors became the focal point and drew our attention away from the neutral colors of the cabinetry.

The red is very warm and creates a spicy new kitchen.

Design Conclusion:

Overall a warm and inviting kitchen was achieved using a dark red on the walls in a small enclosed space. This gave the room some attitude and then became a feature of the house.

The owners managed to paint the room themselves, so the only costs were the paint and brushes. A desirable outcome for all.
