54 COSDON by BESPOKE COLOURS 55 Bespoke Colours In addition to a range of stock colour finishes, many of our fabulous designs are available in a choice of bespoke colours to bring a more personalised feel to your new kitchen and better reflect your particular tastes.
56 COSDON BESPOKE COLOURS Creating a Unique Scheme Layout and lighting The size of your room and the lighting available will dictate which colours will work best within it. For example, using dark shades in a small room that only has limited lighting, (particularly from natural sources), will give a gloomy impression overall. Using lighter tones in areas where there are wall cabinets will add a sense of contrast while helping to give the room a brighter feeling. In general, larger, well-lit rooms give the greatest scope when it comes to experimenting with colour. Neutral colours Neutrals are an excellent choice where space is at a premium as they can make a room seem lighter and larger. Using a single shade throughout or mixing similar tones together can create a clean and classic look. Choosing the right colour is all down to your personal taste, and selecting a shade from our bespoke range will help you create an altogether more unique and individual space. Contrasting colours Neutral shades can also be used to offset contrasting shades, and using hues that are opposite in colour or tone can help divide a space into different areas or to create an interesting focal point. Bold colours Bringing bold colours into a room can help add impact and energy. Strong tones are a good way to highlight features such as shelving, islands and freestanding units. However, care is needed to ensure the bold shades used add punch to the overall scheme, rather than dominate it. Try a sample As colours can look different depending on lighting conditions, we highly recommend you request a sample door before finalising your choice and ordering your kitchen.
