POLL: Which 2016 Colour Palette from Dulux is your favourite?
Comments (13)And therein lies the perpetual issue chookchook2 ! Desktop, tablet and mobile screens all display colour slightly differently and different desktop printers produce different results. You'd think that with a name like 'Tardis Blue' your favourite colour might well sit within 'Infinite Worlds' but in fact a quick look at our Dulux Colour Atlas reveals the closest to it is 'Deep Sapphire' which is part of 'Retro Mix' palette. Until there's a digital fix, for accuracy, all critical colour communication needs to be based on actual paint chips, or those of colour authorities such as Pantone....See MoreNew build kitchen colour dilemma
Comments (8)Hi Bradleys54, as you are creating a 'contemporary' style home, I would keep your kitchen finishes nice and simple - white on white. Then bring in colour variation by selecting a paint colour in a gorgeous, sophisticated grey, for the surrounding walls/bulkhead. Taubmans Cloudburst or Taupe Grey are both great interior colours. Your white kitchen will look fresh and crisp inside this colour. Consider a mirrored or grey kick face to your kitchen to work in with this scheme and glass pendants with grey or black fittings. I'm assuming that window will become your Kitchen Splashback.. If you wanted to steer away from an 'all-white' kitchen, then you could select Caesarstone's sleek concrete for your kitchen island bench top only, which would work in beautifully with they grey interior paintwork. Good luck!...See MoreKitchen Palette Advice
Comments (5)Thanks LesleyH. These are lovely options, herringbone in particular. One of the issues thought is that we need tile floors as we have the whole wall of reddish wood adjacent to the kitchen. I think we have worked out that dark cabinetry is not going to work, which is something!...See MoreKitchen Reno dilemma
Comments (20)I think the decision rests with whether you NEED a butlers pantry! No point in putting one in just because the room is there. But as one post suggested you could loose the current pantry, thus enlarging the family room, and then you maybe have need for a large pantry. I am a little dubious about a 'butlers pantry' idea in general - a storage pantry is most useful but having appliances etc in another room just means more walking from room to room during meal preparation. I think deciding to include a butlers pantry would require a great deal of thought on exactly how you would use the space. A cleanup space - yes that could be handy; where dishes and pots could be stashed during a meal, saving the kitchen proper for serving up. Still means a lot of walking! I think the kitchen work triangle is still a useful concept! And those big island benches with a sink - so your guests can sit and chat while you cook, and watch the dishes piling up under their noses? Ugh! Not for me! They look lovely when clean and EMPTY, but as a usable sociable area, not practical. (Sorry for the rant; has nothing to do with your question or your kitchen, but this is a bugbear of mine!)...See MoreMelbourne44 Melbourne44Musk
