There has been a gradual shift in kitchen design and what we want from it. We require storage solutions for small spaces, and better cabinet and worktop finishes, creating more choice and allow us all to be more creative. As we become more confident with design and layout, we start to be braver with colour. And it’s colour that is popping up in kitchens everywhere, just look at Pinterest!

Of course you will still have your preferred style, whether contemporary or traditional but now you have more options to bring colour into your kitchen.

Whether it’s a bright wall colour, colourful tiling or cabinet fronts, the choice is yours and the options are all out there. For an array of no fuss cabinet fronts then ikea.com is a great place to start. For something more bespoke have a look at uncommonprojects.co.uk

If you are limited on budget and want to refresh your kitchen, look at painting areas [ walls and cabinets ] and tiling. These small changes can make a huge impact.

Key colours we are noticing at the moment are greens, blues, and pinks!

This beautiful, design-classic brass wire chair £325 from Rose & Grey is incredible.

An amazing investment as a set round a dining table or use a single as a office chair to make a study extra stylish.

We’d love it against an interior using dark navy or green walls with marble surfaces and some dashes of blush pink in accessories. It would also work well with an industrial trend inspired interior.

Can be used with a sheep skin cushion (sold separately) as shown or other seating pad.

IKEA has always been a company to push design ideas and bring fun into our homes. A new collection designed with fashion stylist Bea Akerlund may just be their boldest yet, where a heavy gothic vibe meets Alice in Wonderland.

Omedelbar is a limited edition collection launching in March and is expected to be a hit. The collection consists of vases, accessories, furniture and soft furnishings in bold black, red and gold.

Look out for top hat and boot vases, a crown bowl, lip shaped cushion and a giant pocket watch wall clock.

We can’t wait to see it in the flesh.
