Ilumitextra Kitchen & Conservatory, Andreas

Hard-wearing and totally washable — and it looks the part too.

We have applied our Ilumitextra colour blends to the walls in this kitchen and conservatory to give it that wow factor, but more importantly it has given it a hard-wearing and totally washable finish.

That is the right way round for a kitchen. The blend runs behind the worktop and up to the sockets, round the corner column by the window, and along to the dining end between the tall units. Those are the walls that take the splashes and the knocks, so the finish being washable matters a good deal more than the sparkle does.

The same job carries on into the conservatory, where the blend runs under the windows all the way round the bay. Two of the blends meet on the corner there, a warmer one against a paler one, and with the garden right outside the glass there is plenty of light coming across them.
