Subtly

Although most of us can't afford a house with a kitchen like Burghley's it is still possible to draw inspiration from it. The palette of the room is very subtle and complementary (helped by age). Copper, brown, yellow and beige have never looked so good! The copper is shiny so splashes of colour aren't necessary. Copper pans are expensive here in England but you can catch some real bargains in French car boot sales if they take your fancy. Country kitchen at it most glorious and sincere.
