kitchen ideas to add colour.
we've just finished our new kitchen and I've taken a photo and wanted to ask any ideas to add a bit of colour to it all rather than just the white and brown.
any suggestions would be helpful.
I'm thinking some plants?
many thanks
Paul

I need help for the colour scheme for our new build kitchen
Comments (6)This is where the kitchen is going to be. Where my husband is will be counter top at that height. with a big wide counter top to sit under. on the back wall double door fridge a metre gap. 2 wall ovens then a sliding door where the ladder is. A scullery. Behind my husband to the side of him a sink the cooker then space. Where the big flat plank is on the ground (ish) will be the movable island. you can see a taster of the stone wall which will be on both sides of the entrance hallway, the flooring will look very similar to this http://carpetdiscounters.co.nz/product.aspx?product_id=441 . You may note the steel next to my husband on that side. it also needs to be treated. Thank you very much...See MoreKitchen splashback colour
Comments (3)You can choose Image on glass NZ service instead of choosing colored splashbacks. With images printed onto glass, you have the opportunity to transform the look of your kitchen or bathroom with a work of art, plus have the added benefit of having a splashback as well a fantastic piece of art on the wall....See MoreNew open plan kitchen colour help
Comments (1)Teal sounds beautiful for your splashback, I love vibrant and bright colours in the kitchen - you never see them enough! I think your worries are right as well, dark carpet and a dark bench would be too much darkness - a lighter benchtop would work well with the other colours! Marble is a classic for benchtops, but depending on how you did the wood, it wouldn't look fake at all! What did you decide on doing?...See MoreSingle Wall Kitchen Layout and Colour Schemes
Comments (2)For a pass through window to be very useful, it needs a surface to place items that are being passed through, that can be easily reached from both sides, or you would need to coordinate people inside and out to pass things, which isn't feasible. I would consider whether it will be used as a pass through, given the door is immediately beside it. A small breakfast bar that uses the window for a view can also be useful for a pass-through set-down surface. Make sure the window is large enough to give a line of sight from person to person so that it is easy to communicate between the spaces - along the lines of 'Could you grab another beer?' or, 'I forgot the sauce.' I would also make the pass-through window a little wider if you do have a seating area, so it looks big enough to be welcoming, or it will be less likely to be used. At 2.500 deep, the deck is not large enough for a comfortable outdoor dining area of more than a couple of people. You need 600mm for comfortable seating on each side of a table, plus the table width which will be 900-1200, and with this layout, you also need another 900 mm to allow access past this, to the pass through, the seating and to the steps down, and with the deck being above ground level, space for access beyond the seating on both sides of the table is a good idea. If there is a barrier, you can get away without it because chairs won't fall off the edge, but it does make things tight. That adds up to at least 3000-3500 and preferably more. You can make things work with a tighter space, with a compromise to fixed seating along the edge, and a narrow table....See MoreNone None

5 years agoIt’s a lovely kitchen, just needs items to make it feel more lived in. Plants are a good addition. Lots of places sell them with pots included in a nice trendy design, I even saw some in Sainsbury’s for £7, pot included. Artwork is always good and maybe leave a few bits of kitchen paraphanalia out so it doesn’t look quite so stark.

Thanks all again for the comments. I`ve bought some herb pots for £20 and that adds some colour. . Something you dont see on houzz is the daily mess , so havent shown it all.
caro7342: The kitchen is 4.5m long and the island is 1.9m. I really wouldnt want to go any less that that. I probably wish we`d added 20-30cms to the island as it can get a bit full at times but its adequate. The worktop we had a bread bin to start with and it took up too much room , so thats in a deep drawer now and helps. Again, i wouldnt want the main worktop to be any less, its 2.4m. hope that helps.
