Design schemes in the kitchen and beyond must be in proportion with the size of the room, it has been claimed.Home design specialist Period Living suggested that a small home would be best served by neat and miniature patterns on walls, furniture and other objects.For a small kitchen, making a cotton tablecloth in small-scale all-over print was advised as a means of bringing the style into line with the rooms dimensions.Sink and tap dimensions are another key area for kitchen enthusiasts to take into account, with smaller rooms often best complemented by the compact sink design of models such as the Franke CPX611965.Measuring 965 x 500 mm, the single bowl sink and drainer allows countertop space to be maximised and could complement neatly patterned table-cloths. Period Living advised in addition to patterned DIY tablecloths that little prints be used for window treatments, furniture and accessories, becoming especially effective when mixed with plains and stripes in lighter schemes.
