Beautiful Kitchens tours a blue painted mixed materials kitchen. See more kitchen design ideas, tips and decorating inspiration at housetohome.co.uk/beautifulkitchens
Bespoke solid maple and maple veneer units have been spray-painted in varying shades of cool blue. The owners have kept cupboards to a minimum, preferring the look and practicality of drawers. To encourage the feeling of spaciousness, emphasis is on base units rather than wall-mounted cupboards, which have not been included in the scheme.
