Add colour in your kitchen with a little help from Ray Munn…


Right now, more than ever, we could do with a little colour in our lives!

Whilst we are all certainly spending a lot more time in our homes than ever before, rooms such as the kitchen have become a much more sociable place.

Obviously everyone uses their kitchen for food preparation and cooking, and whilst many of us may choose to eat in there too, the chances are that in these current unprecedented times, your kitchen is currently being used for all manner of tasks! From scientific experiments and learning how to make cakes in lieu of home schooling, to simply being a place for five minutes quiet time, the kitchen, much like the population is suddenly required to adapt.

Once this pandemic is over, we will either love our current kitchens or be desperate to change them, and for many of us it will be the latter. 

In times like these, having something optimistic and enjoyable to look forward to can have a really positive effect on a persons mindset. Whilst many of us might be longing for a holiday abroad, international travel is currently on hold indefinitely, making a new kitchen a great alternative focus, as it could not only add value to your property, but also be considered good for your health and wellbeing too!

VIBRANT RED IS A FABULOUS INTRODUCTION OF COLOUR IN THIS TILLINGHAM KITCHEN…

Red is certainly a vibrant choice and whilst it has been historically used as a paint finish for formal dining rooms, a burst of colour in a kitchen can look fabulous. Team a heritage red with classic shades of creams and ecru for a very stylish kitchen indeed!

NEVER BE BLUE AGAIN, WITH A FABULOUS NEW KITCHEN FROM RAY MUNN!

Blue has always been associated as a somewhat negative colour, with the coined phrase of ‘feeling blue’ meaning that you’re feeling down…

It’s important to realise that not all blues are melancholy shades - brighter blues such as cobalt and ultra marine can actually have the opposite effect and create energy within a room.


Team blues such as this, with subtle creams and whites for a truly opulent kitchen with celebrity style!

Get it right and warmer greys can look spectacular in a kitchen!
