Many people associate pastel finishes in kitchens with classic Shaker styles or country designs. However, colours like off-white, cream, light grey, as well as materials like light-washed wood, and even light coloured stones can be used to create exceptionally modern designs whilst maintaining and utilising the neutrality of the pastel palate. This allows clients and designers huge flexibility when selecting the finish of additional aspects of the kitchen such as the worktop, floor, splashback and wall colour. Â
