THE DARING red used by interior designer Eily Roe (0404 47621) on the accent wall of the funky but functional open-plan kitchen and family room of Cherry Glade is Fleetwood's Sun Dried Tomato.
The size of the room and the fact it's light-filled - thanks to two Velux windows and extra wide French doors - means the strong red creates drama but doesn't overpower.

Orchard Red and chocolate gloss doors with an extra thick counter top and side gables contrast with the Trafficstone countertop.
