BOLD SELECTION

at Barnes, a director at CAN, designed this cheerful rear extension for his family. The scheme was inspired by mountainous landscapes – but more specifically, the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride at Disneyland. ‘The colours were picked to celebrate each of the different architectural elements,’ says Mat. Eclectic materials, including worktops and kitchen fronts made from recycled chopping boards/milk bottle tops, terrazzo floors and a concrete wall contribute to the eclectic array of hues. The exposed bricks have been painted in Valspar’s Keep Calm, the underside of the staircase in RAL Dahlia Yellow, with RAL Traffic Red and RAL Sky Blue
