b'alternate solutionsopen-plan chicfreshness, finished in luxuryDesigners Emma Adkins and Georgia Hay suggest this alternative scheme:With inspiration drawn from the detailed timber doors and architraves, we have created a traditional chic, open-plan kitchen and dining room, with a touch of glam. Resene White Pointer on the walls keeps the space light without feeling stark and Resene Quarter White Pointer is used on the shaker-style kitchen cabinetry, trims and ceiling to create a subtle contrast. Having a soft curve at the end of the island, accentuated with Resene Half Washed Green from the Karen Walker Paints collection, visually widens the space and creates an inviting kitchen. Resene Colorwood English Walnut grounds the timber floor and showcases the traditional timber doors. Finally, the feature Resene wallpaper, combined with accents of black and brass, adds personality and glamour.email info@sampleworkshop.co.nz web www.sampleworkshop.co.nzResene Half Washed GreenGlass cloche vintage pendantMr Ralphwww.mrralph.co.nz0800 677 2574Resene Colorwood English WalnutOslo dining table Resene Coco Republic Quarter White Pointer www.cocorepublic.co.nzbefore Resene Wallpaper Collection Katari rug - moon409543 Weave HomeReseneResene ColorShops www.weavehome.co.nzGondwanawww.resene.com/wallpaper 0800 922 000Above: This kitchen is the epitome of simple luxury with walls in Resene Whiteillustration Pointer and the island in Resene Half Washed Green, while a feature wall in ReseneMalcolm WhiteWallpaper Collection 409543 adds subtle elegance.
