“I see people including more colour now. I think it’s really nice. There’s nothing like a colour that you love that hits you in the face when you walk in your kitchen that makes you feel happy. There will be colours that are trendy – so don’t pick the one colour that everyone seems to be doing at the moment, pick one that makes you happy and go for it. Because in 10 years’ time – it doesn’t matter if it isn’t trendy anymore – because you will still love it.”

Beth

Planning a kitchen – where to start

Within the episode, we answer Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms magazine’s most frequently asked questions on planning a kitchen.

“In terms of layouts, I hate the traditional stance. I prefer if you start from nothing: put no parameters on it… No triangles, gallies, islands, let’s just go for it and see what you come up with because – let’s be creative. Obviously there’s a brief, but let’s start with exciting. If we have to curtail that down we will, but I want to see what will come to the table first.”

Ros

From where you start, how and where you spend your budget, to designing the perfect layout. And trust me – I had no idea the response this particular question would spark! It honestly blew my mind.

We also talk about using trends in design and when to throw the design rulebook out of the window!

“I think you should love your kitchen. You should be excited every time you walk in, and if that means using a particular material or finish or tap, or whatever that allows you to do that, then incorporate it in.”
