While the all-white kitchen will probably never go out of fashion, colourful kitchens are becoming an increasingly popular option with homeowners who are looking to inject personality and character into their designs. We’re not just talking about a touch of teal or pops of green – there are bright yellows, playful pinks, electric blues and zesty oranges all being embraced from across the colour wheel!

In this blog post, we’ve rounded up our top tips on how to bring colour into your kitchen – remember, everyone’s tastes are different so the best way to embrace this trend is to just DO YOU and you really can’t go wrong!

Coloured Cabinetry and Appliances

If you’re feeling confident, then embracing an all-colourful kitchen is the way to go. If you’ve chosen a bright shade that you want to see you through the years, then use it on your cupboards and kitchen islands to really make a bold statement. Your kitchen will be unique, memorable and – best of all – reflect your style.

Blues and greens have been a fashionable choice over the last few years, so choose these for an effortless on-trend look. Another style that is becoming increasingly popular is incorporating two-tone cabinetry into your kitchen design. Unified cabinetry is becoming a thing of a past: for a more subtle look, soft grey and calming navy are still colourful combinations!


Natural Elements with Pops of Colour

If you’re worried that bright colour isn’t really your style, and you prefer the look of something more natural and sustainable, then there are still plenty of ways to bring a variety of colours into your kitchen.

Think about bringing in handmade tiles in materials such as warm copper, textured terracotta and cool cement, which are perfect for adding splashes of more natural colours.

For an even more subtle look, just adding a characterful grainy wood into your kitchen will bring an element of warmth – this looks especially effective on your kitchen island or worktops.


Mix and Match Kitchen Metals

This year homeowners are started to become A LOT more adventurous with their kitchen brassware.

Chrome has always been a safe, neutral option across the years, but people no longer look for a completely cohesive and matching scheme. Heavy metals are in, and they aren’t made to quietly blend in!

For example, you might choose a sleek nickel for your handles, and then a bright brass or white matte for your taps. Then you might go for something completely different altogether when it comes to your light fixtures – the choices are endless, and are guaranteed to create that ‘wow’ factor.


Colourful Fridges

Fridges have always tended to be one of those things that typically have only ever been in neutral shades. However, over recent times, there has been an increase in manufacturers producing appliances in bright, bold shades.

These stylish pieces are ideal for use in kitchens where strong colours and bright tones are a feature of the space. Smeg is one of the original brands to do so, offering the best choice of multi-coloured options in a fantastic choice of contemporary tones.

Neo-green, bubblegum pink or striking red? The choice is yours!

Make the Most of Open Shelving

If you’re keen to keep a mostly neutral scheme in your kitchen, but want to incorporate small pops of colour or touches of personality, then open shelving is definitely the way to go.

In this way, you can showcase sentimental trinkets, stylish accessories, beautiful pottery and handy utensils within arm’s reach.

It’s also a great way to add a splash of colour to your kitchen and, best of all, it’s cheap and cheerful to replace as time goes by and as your tastes change.

Incorporate a Simply Standout Sink

You don’t need to install an entirely new kitchen, or replace all your cabinetry to achieve a colourful kitchen. Sometimes just one key, eye-catching focal point is all it takes.

With this in mind, think about how you might create a truly stunning feature with your sink.

While a white butler sink is timeless and classic, a copper sink with brass taps is a truly unique showstopper that is guaranteed to look incredible when set against white walls, wood cabinets and stainless steel worktops.

Embrace a Pretty Pantry

Long gone are the days of having a small, dark pantry to house dry goods hidden away from inquisitive eyes.

Today’s modern kitchen showcases roomy, bright larders that are a fantastic opportunity to show off your organisation skills!

Finish the look off with a cheerfully painted pantry door, which makes the space an inviting and exciting one.

You’ll be longing to get in there and re-order all your labelled jars!


The kitchen is the heart of the home and should therefore reflect what you – and your home – stand for.
