Whether you pick one consistent colour, for your kitchen cabinets, or opt for a two-tone effect, it is important to consider the size, amount of natural light and function of your kitchen. Picking a trendy statement colour can be great in theory but unless you are completely in love with your chosen colour it might be a better idea to incorporate it though accent pieces or a splashback.
In recent years, greens and blues have been on the rise, partly due to the isolation caused by the worldwide pandemic lockdowns. Blue and green can invoke the feeling of being close to nature and create an experience that is incredibly calming to most. If the kitchen is the place where you escape the daily stresses of life, these colours might be a good choice for you, the shade of these colours that you go for might be determined upon by the size of your kitchen or the amount of natural light your kitchen gets.
Darker colours can make your space feel smaller, however by choosing a 2-tone design you can create a feeling of openness and height to even a small kitchen space.
If colour isn’t your first pick, then often we jump to a monotone pallet of grey, black, or white however all these options have several cons. White, especially in a flat gloss door, can come off rather clinical and unwelcoming if you like to host friends and family often. Grey tones can come across in a very similar way especially if overused in a space. Ivory is often another go to, especially in more traditional styles however these doors can sometimes feel outdated and tire very quickly.
Many painted and wrapped doors come in a wide variety of neutral colours including cashmere and limestone. These colours are neutral enough that they can be mixed with bolder accent colours but are also warm and inviting. Limestone is a particularly versatile choice as it does not appear particularly warm nor cool this makes it a great choice for mixing with deep blues and greens as well as warm wood tones and even pinks and purples.
A very pale blue can also be a good substitution for grey to help bring in lighter to your space. A light blue can make your kitchen feel light and airy maintaining openness that you and all your guests will enjoy.
