One Room Two Looks

No longer a centre of pure functionality, the kitchen has become the ultimate personal lifestyle statement.

Look 1: Boldly Go

Known as the colour that stimulates the appetite, deep red from Plascon’s Eco-sustenance palette livens up an all white hearth.

The key to achieving the eco-sustenance decor effect is to combine the nature-inspired colours of the palette with materials such as linen, wood, and wicker. Both red and brown fall within the warm hemisphere of the colour wheel and lend themselves to a more rustic aesthetic. For visual interest, add a little punch of complementary colour, such as that lent by pots of lush green herbs.

Look 2: Industrial Chic

Usher in urban cool with Plascon’s Future fusion palette to give this kitchen a sophisticated yet subtle character. 

Uncluttered, clean and contemporary, this kitchen is as much for cooking as it is for entertaining. Think factory floor meets high-tech home – the look is industrial with cement, steel, and glass finishes. Here, the stainless steel counter teamed with eclectic collections of glass and silverware doubles up as an elegant bar. Choose furniture pieces with simple lines in monochromatic tones to complement this palette of cool greys, shiny silver and stone.
