6. World-renowned for its sleek minimalist designs, German manufacturer Poggenpohl has introduced four muted mineralinspired colours to its door fronts. The subtle shades – which can be used over the whole kitchen or for a dash of colour to highlight certain zones – include Oxide light blue, Cubanite beige, Fluorite pale green (shown) and Curite coppery orange. There are also four finishes for the new doors including hi-gloss and water-based lacquer. If an entirely coloured kitchen doesn’t appeal, why not combine with wood, white or grey finishes for a more restrained effect? The company has also unveiled a shelving system to ensure a flowing transition between kitchen and living room. From £20,000. 0845 074 0022 | www.kitchensinternational.co.uk Welcome
