However with the addition of the vibrant wall, covered in stickers and positive messages, the kitchen immediately has a new focal point, brightening it up. 

Martyna also added stick-on patterns from eBay to the plain white tiles, continuing the monochrome theme throughout the kitchen, and painting the remaining walls a powder blue.
