The colour mistake that is making your kitchen feel smaller

We often hear about our homes feeling cold and uninviting, but the opposite can be just as much of an issue. In our kitchens, so much emphasis is placed on creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, but what happens when our paint choice is a little too warm?

Kitchens that feel smaller than they really are, enclosed or even claustrophobic are often signs that your kitchen colour scheme isn’t quite right. A cooking space should feel inviting, but also open and spacious.

Another warning sign might be that your walls don’t work in cohesion with the cabinets or surfaces – too much warmth will have them all blending into one.
