Tom and Alexandra Evans had been cautious about the use of color in their home, however, out of concerns over resale value, they kept everything white. When they finally found their “forever” home in London, they changed their tune. For the primary color of their new kitchen, they selected something called Deep Space Blue. Then they bought a red refrigerator for contrast. The biggest challenge of their kitchen remodel was the lack of space for them and their three children. So they ditched the L-shaped counters and added antique church pews for booth seating instead. Iroko hardwood counters and a tumbling block floor add to the kitchen’s charm.
Key Takeaways:
- Tom and Alexandra Evans were afraid to paint color on the walls in previous homes, so they used white.
- The couple thought using too much color might negatively affect the resale value of a home.
- Feeling as if they had found their “forever home,” they decided it was time to welcome in the bright and the bold.
“When Tom fixated on the Little Greene Paint Company’s Deep Space Blue, it became the room’s defining feature. Paired with a band of white, the blue pulls everything together and works really well as a splash back,” says Alexandra.”
