Comments (25)Here’s an example of how to use the method above. All measurements taken are using the device’s own internal light source which is called D65. So straight away you are comparing colours from the same starting point. Using the device, I took measurements of Maggie’s stunning marble work surface. To the naked eye, it appeared a white slab with light grey & dark grey veining. However when measured, the white majority of the slab belonged to the yellow Hue Family & the darkest veins sat in the Yellow-Red Hue Family. Taking further sample measurements of the stone slab flooring, confirmed they too sat in the Yellow Hue Family. So to tie both flooring and work surface together with colour for the island & kitchen units, it made sense to begin looking for colours within the same Hue Family. Getting a Hue Angle reading gives a spot to plot it on the Wheel. The info also gives other key attributes for each colour, making comparison much simpler. Maggie knew she wanted a dark colour for the island, a mid tone for the cupboards & something lighter again for the walls. It’s a new mode of working for most of us home owners, but it’s actually just working with the information companies use to make the colours in the first place. And so it’s a much more objective starting point to finding the right colour for the job. I wish you lots of luck on your quest!...See Morewhat colour kitchen worktop for all white kitchen?
Comments (71)Love your kitchen, you’ve done a great job, not only does the kitchen look good, it’s totally practical, drawers are the way forward, even if they are more expensive than cupboards. I’ve just redone a kitchen in a house we rent out, the old one was finally falling apart. I was going to go to Howdens and use the joiner etc we knew, but in the end we used a small local company, which cost us £300 more, but the quality of their interior cabinets and doors was so outstanding, plus they could do everything, including tiling, we went with them. We didn’t change the floor, but did everything necessary, I’m hoping it lasts well and our tenants look after it!...See MoreKitchen layout for kitchen/dining/living area ???
Comments (7)Because the tall units will be about 2.4m from the door I don’t think you have to worry about them being in your sight line…… but if you are worried you could of course put them on the opposite side of the room. However I always think that the usual 55cm chair seat height makes your eye line about kitchen cabinet height so you could feel a bit overshadowed by the kitchen island. In my opinion the solution is to put the kitchen at the dining end and then move the dining table towards the window. You might also consider dual purpose furniture- for instance instead of having a dining table and chairs plus a sitting area consider an upholstered dining bench that can be also be a daytime spot for coffee and reading the paper...See Moreminnie101
