Colour Me Happy - Kitchen

Written by Posted On Saturday, 23 June 2018 10:36

Your kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in the house, you spend a great deal of time in it and it should be a great space for you to feel relaxed, experimental whipping up tasty dishes but also a room to hang out with with your partner, friends or family for a glass of wine or two..!

It is important to make sure you choose the best colours for your kitchen space, be it really small and cramped, or large and open spaced, from the unit colours to wall colours, to the decorations, make sure the heart of your house or flat stands out.

What colours to choose for a small kitchen

Make sure you choose soft neutrals or bold bright colour combinations, from walls, countertops, cabinetry to woodwork, for a small kitchen that will make your space seem much larger. You will create a charming kitchen that everyone will love to hang out in. Why not paint the inside of the cabinets a different colour too, it gives a surprising little pop of colour.

Below are some great colour schemes to give you an idea of combinations to consider to create an illusion of a more spacious smaller kitchen:

  • Brilliant white walls, dark grey cabinets and a black or white countertops.
  • Soft grey walls, wooden countertops and white cabinets.
  • Murky blue walls, with white countertops and cabinets.
  • All white walls, countertops and cabinets.
  • Sunshine yellow feature wall, grey countertops and white cabinets.

What colours to choose for a large kitchen

You can get really creative if your kitchen is on the larger scale - you can play with pretty much all the colours in the rainbow.  

Below are just a touch of colour combinations to get your imagination flowing but you can be more adventurous:

  • Dark blue walls, with marble effect countertops and white cabinets.
  • White walls, with grey countertops and cabinets.
  • Gun metal grey walls, light grey countertops and gun metal grey cabinets.
  • Scarlet wall, with black countertops and scarlet cabinets.
  • Classic black and white colour.

You can also add some interesting patterns to the wall.

You should also considering the lights in your kitchen too - well placed lights really brings the room together. If you have a smaller kitchen try spot lights or a statement clear glass light fixture. And if you are lucky enough to have a larger room, big bold fixtures look great, try 2 to 3 statement fixtures.

So whether you are looking for colour ideas for a small kitchen or just generally wanting to freshen up your larger kitchen, always make sure you test out the colour combinations first.
