Paint the walls

Choose a branded paint designed for use in kitchens and bathrooms. All the right information is available from your Mitre 10 paint advisors. A light colour from white through to light beige will give an up-to-date look for any style of kitchen, using a light colour will give small rooms a feeling of space and large rooms a background to add a splash of colour. Adding colour can be achieved in many ways, like painting behind the cook top or stove, or add texture with a splash back of tiles; try a touch of modern with a back-painted piece of toughened glass. Glass painted metallic silver looks stunning, as does a rich red and even black in the right room.
