Homeowners should use the current seasonal change as an excuse to freshen up their kitchens using colour, it has been suggested.Judy Schurman of Huron Valley Furniture in the US told HometownLife.com that the hot new trend is neutrals paired with bright accents.Grey is the new neutral, but its paired with yellow or other spring brights, she said.It was also observed that a selection of muted greys and basic colours can offer a versatile palette upon which to build, particularly when people are refreshing winter-weary decor or decorating a brand new space.Ms Schurman suggested that people could add to this colour boost by purchasing new art pieces, adding that waterproof art is now available for homeowners looking to decorate both outdoor and indoor areas.In an article posted in Home Improvement this week, Liverpool-based Rapide Plus Kitchens argued that people planning a kitchen redesign should ensure there is sufficient space around the core areas of the room such as the kitchen sink.
