b'a calming space with soft natural huesDesigner Jenny Saggers of Collaborate suggests an alternative scheme:With this design I wanted to create a relaxed, calming, natural feel and create harmony through a simplified look. The major change I have made to the kitchen is the cabinetry and island colour. I wanted to add more depth to the space and create contrast with the walls. I chose Resene Bluff, a moody sky-grey blue. This pairs particularly well with light timber. Floating oak shelves display beautiful ceramics and add texture and colour to the space. Further texture is added through tongue-and-groove panelling on the island.The walls are Resene Half Bianca and the ceiling is Resene Quarter Bianca as I want to draw the eye to the kitchen. I particularly love using these whites as they have warmth to them and are not too stark. email jenny@collaborate.nz web www.collaborate.nzReseneBluffAnkara Dining Chair in Copper Loft Furniturewww.loftfurniture.co.nz03 377 5166Resene Colorwood MataiCape Cod Lamp Base Resene Leopold Hall Half Bianca www.leopoldhall.com09 524 7503Holt ArmchairSt Clements Kevin Reilly Gem Cylinder www.stclements.co.nz Pendant Light 09 336 1304 ECC Resenewww.ecc.co.nz Travis 09 379 9680illustrationResene Malcolm White Mai TaiPoets Dream Jug Thread Design www.threaddesign.co.nz 09 360 136161'
