Latest kitchen look – Painted finish

Ideal for unfussy-looking kitchens, painted units are simple yet classic

Made from primed MDF or solid wood, painted units provide lots of possibilities when it comes to colour and style.

• Keep it simple
This look is all about showing off the simplicity of the cabinetry, so think muted colours, an organic feel and a homespun look, and you won't go far wrong.

• Go for a corordinated look
Whether you're using a local carpenter or a bespoke company to make your units, you will be able to get matching extras, such as peg rails and shelves.

• The finishing touches
Handles should be small but functional, while appliances should be a co-ordinating shade or built in.
