Small kitchen changes can add an authentic, aged feel to a modern looking room, an interior designer has said.Mark Wilkinson told the National that where a kitchen design is largely contemporary, appliances like kitchen sinks and taps can be swapped for time-honoured alternatives.In terms of helping a modern kitchen attain a traditional look, dont forget the smaller items like sinks consider pieces that can be changed, like a feature extractor canopy or a table and chairs, Mr Wilkinson told the news provider.Kitchen decoration was also noted as an area where traditional styles could emerge as Mr Wilkinson suggested that prints, paintings and wall tiling could all add character to an otherwise clinical, modern kitchen.According to a recent report on interior design trends by the Associated Press, vivid colours like purple and deep blue will be increasingly adopted during the coming decade to add dramatic effects to kitchens.
