Painted Palette Perfection For English Revival
In-frame has never been so diverse. With a beautiful palette of painted pastel colours, natural oak and a primed ready to paint option, Mereway Kitchens allows designers to display their creative flair, with this spectacular timber product: Drawing from the success of the Lincoln Shaker range, the new In-frame collection follows suit, with painted ash doors in elegant colours. Spring White, Fennel Green, Pebble Blue, Chalk White and Willow Green, and the ready to paint option, offers customers the versatility to paint their kitchens in any hue to achieve the look they want. The In-frame shaker door itself comprises a frame with beaded profile and 78mm stiles and rails for a more delicate look. The clever selection of cabinets and finishes available means In-Frame can be toned towards traditional or contemporary, country or minimalist. Selected painted shades can complement or contrast each other, with the use of blocks of colour to draw focus to various ‘zones’ around the kitchen. Zoning is the perfect way to plan out a kitchen space, as it groups together core elements (cooking, washing, cooling etc) and can bring symmetry with a sense of balance to the kitchen.
“Choosing painted finishes on feature units from the English Revival Shaker collection, is the ideal way to separate your kitchen design out from the rest,” comments Ginette Crowther, Marketing Manager for Mereway Kitchens.
“Painted finishes work perfectly for peninsula and feature end units, as you can create a truly individual, focal piece in any kitchen space, and combined with smooth curves on base and wall units, you can achieve an ergonomic look that can be traditional or contemporary.”

See Your Home In A New Light
IKEA’s interior design specialist, Mikeal Berryman’s home lighting tips:
Being Swedish we know about good lighting! We understand light and lighting because of where we come from. In some parts of Sweden, people spend most of their autumn and winter indoors due to the lack of natural daylight.
As a result, Swedes have been inspired to plan their lighting well for every room, every task and every occasion. We have learnt to pay attention to function, visibility and atmosphere – all of which need to be addressed in a good lighting plan.
