to pet beds, dressers and open shelves. We’ve introduced special colours such as the vibrant yellow Bumblebee and tranquil Lagoon. There’s also a new Elements range with dramatic modern finishes from Italian Concrete to Ocean Cypress, worktops in a variety of materials and thicknesses, curves and edges. Hottest kitchen trends at the moment? Marble – even a slice in the form of our Carrara marble pastry slabs – adds a luxurious touch to a kitchen. Try a marble-effect luxury laminate worktop, or go for gorgeous granite. Metallics remain popular, particularly warm tones such as copper and gold. A subtle way to introduce this into your kitchen is through a metallic-effect profile paired with a contemporary unit. Milano kitchens offer six profiles, including copper and gold. Retro is another key trend – check out our metal frame units with smoked glass. Blues and greys remain the hottest colours, but they are evolving. Embrace the blues with Baltic and Midnight or go grey with a natural twist with Pebble and Nimbus, or calm Cathedral. Top tips for planning a new kitchen 1. Think about who uses it, and how they use it. Cooking and dining? Entertaining and working? Is it your pet’s home? 2. Think style. Contemporary or traditional? Sleek or decorative? Matt or gloss? Spend as much time as you can in the kitchen showroom to find the style that suits you and your home. 3. Plan ahead. Measure up your room and think about how to make the most of your space. www.wrenkitchens.com www.mediaclash.co.uk I BRISTOL LIFE I 59
