Whether you’re having a new kitchen fitted or are upgrading your current design, choosing the right colour can be both exciting and daunting. While some tones are ideal for country cottage kitchens, others are perfect for contemporary homes, and selecting the colour that best suits your style is integral in creating your dream room.
In this article, we explore a range of kitchen colours, uncover the latest trends, and provide inspiration for your kitchen makeover.
Earthy tones
Ideal for cosy kitchens and those with a traditional vibe, earthy tones bring the outside in and help to create a peaceful, yet on-trend, space. Popular earthy tones include warm reds and soft greens alongside classic neutrals like taupe and beige. While forest greens and terracotta reds have been popular in recent years, these seem to be falling out of fashion with calmer tones taking their place in UK homes.
Bright yellow
Although it’s the complete opposite of earthy tones, bright yellow is a popular option for kitchens as it creates feelings of joy and boosts positive energy. From backsplashes and cabinet doors to feature walls and accessories, there are numerous ways to bring yellow into your kitchen without it being overwhelming. Ideal for compact kitchens and those with minimal natural light, yellow brightens a space and complements a range of neutral tones, including soft greys and creams.
Metallic accents
While painting your kitchen metallic may not be on-trend, including subtle accents in kitchen designs is becoming increasingly popular. Achievable ways to add metallics to your kitchen include choosing tiles or splashbacks with metallic detail. Opting for statement plumbing fixtures, drawer and door handles in silver or gold tones is another way to add a pop of shine to your kitchen space. Consider investing in storage solutions, such as spice racks and cutlery trays, in eye-catching metallic shades. Don’t be afraid to mix metals to create visual interest and add character to the space.
Natural materials
Neutral tones created through using natural materials in kitchens is a popular trend, particularly for country cottage kitchens with stone worktops and wooden cabinetry leading the way. These materials are being sought by those updating their kitchens due to their rustic, distressed style and unique textures which are warmer and more inviting. Flooring, storage, and countertops can all be refreshed with natural materials, so there are numerous options to consider.
Pinks
While bright shades of pink may not be suitable for a kitchen, unless added as small pops of colour, muted tones are certainly an on-trend option for those seeking something a little different. The right pink hue can create sun-kissed Mediterranean vibes, bringing feelings of tropical warmth into the space. Particularly beautiful when paired with metallics and marble, subtle pink shades can help you create a unique kitchen with plenty of personality.
