BIZARRE: A statement orange range cooker was the starting point for our new kitchen - You Need To See This

A kitchen island with breakfast bar and a row of three bar stools.

If you're planning a renovation and searching for kitchen ideas that will make your space sing, quite often the starting point will be the colour scheme. And it's an undeniable fact - people are getting braver with colour. Gone are the plain white, neutral spaces in favour of bright and bold rooms packed with a whole host of shades that invigorate and liven up the busy space.

That's not to say that there isn't still a place for neutral colour schemes - these pared-back hues are perfect for spaces where you want to relax and unwind, like neutral bathroom ideas and neutral bedroom ideas. But if there's one area in a home that is crying out for colour and personality, then that's a family kitchen.

That was the issue facing this couple in their five-bed Victorian terrace in west London. The existing kitchen lacked any colour and the layout didn't suit the growing family's needs either. Here, the owner explains how their home evolved and went from a dull, white colourless kitchen to a bold and beautiful new space.
