Steal This Look: A Subtly Colorful Kitchen in Lewes, England

Alexa Hotz February 16, 2021

When you opt for an unexpected color combination in the kitchen, the result is particularly memorable. As much as we like an easygoing palette, we’ve begun to tire of kitchen cabinets painted in the usual neutrals. That’s why we can’t get this colorful kitchen off our minds. The design comes by way of English kitchen maker Inglis Hall, who collaborated on the palette with Simon March of paint company Marchand Son, also known as Colour Makes People Happy. Here is a look at the individual components of the kitchen, color and beyond, to pick and choose from for your own project.
