Colours are important
I often find that peoples kitchens can be quite plain and boring. Often people simply consider the worktops, cupboard and cooker as the most important aspects of a kitchen. In part I agree, although I think the colour scheme plays a significant part as well.
The colour scheme should be a priority as it is essential it should offer a contrast to the colour and materials used within the rest of the space. Getting the colour right, can not only bringl the whole space together, it can alter the atmosphere of the room.
Think about how you want the space to feel and consider all your options prior to making your final decision.
