The purple rose kitchen set was designed especially for my client as a house warming gift to her best friend. The theme icon of these products is a two dimensional purple rose and this rose is placed on the cloth as a top view. The creeper in this product is an ivory creeper.

The composition of the tray cloth was designed to focus on the main purple rose. The three dimensional purple rose is in contrast with the main rose. These three dimensional roses have different colours that give this image a variety. The white rose is placed on the background of the green leaf to outline it. These roses add a cool effect to the design by use of blue, white and purple. The ivory creeper has a repetitive pattern of the leaves that adds rhythm.

The long kitchen glove has a focal point mainly on the ivory creeper. I chose the ivory creeper because of the purple flowers that are two dimensional. This glove is evenly balance with two symmetrical flowers. When you fold the long glove in half then the dominant colour is purple.

The apron is designed to direct the focus manly on the upper part of the body. The creeper is placed as a necklace to the apron. The two colour roses are there to represent a different colour contrast that is symmetrically balanced.  The angle of the leave shows movement and the leaves have different proportion. There is a variety of colourful flowers and big leaves that present a composition that works in harmony with this image.

I would recommend this kitchen set design for newly married couples that love roses and the colour purple.
