Neutrals are an excellent choice for painting kitchen schemes, as they provide a versatile backdrop for different wood, metal or marble finishes. As a real hub for festive entertaining, your kitchen is also a wonderful room in which to embrace brightly coloured decorations and accents that reflect a warm, energetic and sociable atmosphere. Find inspiration in @hornsby_style’s elegant, homely kitchen setting, where Clay -Pale walls combine with accents of Garden, Celestial Blue and Tuscan Red. For a festive touch, she has introduced a beautiful garland adorned with red ribbons and simple paper decorations that complement her existing scheme.

Rich, sumptuous berry reds offer a warm, nostalgic redolence of Christmas, making them a timeless addition to any scheme. @mrsjessdaines chose a simple candle adorned with a deep crimson ribbon to accompany rustic wood furniture, alongside walls painted in Mochi. This soft, brown-based pink is a beautiful alternative to neutral to bring warmth and comfort to any space in the home.
