An interior specialist has claimed that the joys of spring time can be brought early to the kitchen, if natural light is maximised to its full potential.Blinds and awning specialist Hillarys claimed that the kitchen was a prime room for flooding with natural light, with pastel coloured blinds recommended as a means of filtering in uplifting tinted light.Shutters were also recommended as a good alternative to curtains in the kitchen, offering a spring-like window dressing and providing plenty of light control especially if a product is chosen that allows different light entry on the top and bottom halfSarah Quilliam, head of product design at Hillarys, said Heavier fabrics are great during chilly dark winter months when we want to cosy up but its generally curtains for curtains come spring when we want to let the sun shine in and make the most of the light. Changing your window dressing to a blind is also an easy and relatively inexpensive way to breathe fresh life into a room to update its look and help banish those post-winter blues.But if natural light gives kitchens a spacious feel, so too do generous sinks, with leading manufacturer Carron Phoenixs Coral granite range offering some of the most spacious models around.
