Petrol is often used alongside colors like black, green, and red when creating tropical designs that mimic the depth and intrigue of the jungle.
Use Petrol in a modern kitchen design to add some interest and style. Appliances in Petrol give the space some intrigue while also adding some dynamic focal points to the space.
