How to use colour in your open plan kitchen living room design, to bring warmth and character. We're going to explore how it was done in this beautiful bespoke kitchen extension, our Petworth Kitchen.

In the realm of open-plan kitchen living room designs, the strategic use of colour can play a pivotal role in infusing warmth and character into the space. In this exploration, we delve into the exquisite Petworth Kitchen, a bespoke creation, where a captivating rusty red takes center stage as the accent colour. 

Setting the Palette:

At the core of this vibrant design lies a carefully chosen colour palette. The custom-made cabinetry sets the tone with a gorgeous soft neutral – a gentle white beige that stands as a firm favourite at Shere Kitchens. This subtle backdrop provides the perfect canvas for the subsequent infusion of the rich and traditional. The Oak flooring, Island worktop, open shelving and dining table are stained in a dark hue, radiating a sense of timeless elegance.

Colour in your open plan kitchen living room design - accentuating with Red:

The deep red accent is strategically threaded through the design, creating a harmonious flow within the open-plan space. Within the fitted glassware cupboards, the red finds its place, seamlessly linking the kitchen and snug together. The snug walls themselves become a canvas for this delicious warming red, transforming the area into an inviting and cosy haven for relaxation.

Expanding the Reach:

To further extend the influence of this captivating colour, a freestanding cupboard in the dining area 'zone' proudly dons the same earthy red. This thoughtful placement serves to thread the red hue to the opposite corner of the kitchen space, creating a unified and cohesive design throughout.

Bringing Personality to Your Space:

Threading a strong colour, such as this distinctive red, through your open-plan kitchen living space is a design choice that radiates personality and confidence. It goes beyond aesthetics, infusing the space with a unique character that resonates with the homeowners' preferences.

The Collaborative Approach:

The Petworth Kitchen stands as a testament to the collaborative effort between the skilled design team at Shere Kitchens, homeowners, architects and colour consultants. This collaborative approach, a hallmark of our work, goes beyond crafting spaces – it involves creating extensions of lifestyle and personality, be it kitchens, utility or boot rooms.

In the world of bespoke kitchen designs, the Petworth Kitchen exemplifies how using colour in your open-plan kitchen living room design can transform a space into more than just an area; it creates a beautiful flow between 'zones' and means that the space becomes an extension of one's lifestyle and personality.
