There is not denying that we, as a nation, are getting braver and bolder with the colours we use in our homes. Whether it's dark grey walls, bold kitchen cabinets or coloured roll-top baths, we're going for it with colour more than ever before.

We don't know about you, but the fridge is quite possibly our favourite thing in our home. So why not give it the love, style and vibrancy it deserves? Move over stainless steel and boring black, with on-trend pretty pastels and vibrant, punchy reds on offer to brighten up our culinary space, why not give it a go?

We love this sunny yellow shade, as well as the vibrant blue shown at the top of this page.
