country kitchen

From Habitat magazine - issue 23

Team timber with pale blues for classic appeal.

Give a country kitchen a contemporary twist with a chunky kitchen unit painted in Resene Inside Back, set against a Resene Half Duck Egg Blue wall. Timber is a mainstay of this style, seen here with simple pine shelves in Resene Colorwood Ironbark along with wooden chopping boards and canister lids. Bringing the whole scheme to life are glimmers of copper and pops of hot pink – in the Resene Scrumptious herb pot and Resene Sassy fruit bowl. Cooler counterpoints are provided in the Resene Quarter Concrete pot, and the Resene New Denim Blue splashback strip on the wall.

More set-down space

Extend your benchtop space by adding a country-style sideboard to the kitchen. This one is painted in Resene Inside Back to create a tonal scheme with the Resene New Denim Blue splashback and the Resene Half Duck Egg Blue wall.
