Blue kitchen ideas

Blue kitchen design has already proven to be more than flash in the pan.

But we’ve seen a surge in its popularity in the past six months or so.

Why?

Blue can fit virtually any kitchen design, thanks to the wide choice of incredible colours. From cyan to deep navy, blue gives life to any room without being overbearing.

Here are three reasons why more interior designers and homeowners are jumping on the blue kitchen trend bandwagon:

1. The choice and versatility of blue shades

The choices of blue shades is endless, and blue is beautifully complemented by many other colours, textures and materials. So, dependent on your style and taste, you can play with endless combinations until you find the right fit (and we can help you with this).

If you’re going for a modern look, our new fjord blue hue is accessorised brilliantly with gold accents (see above picture).

For a sophisticated classic kitchen with a modern twist, a rich navy blue with wood accents offers a look that will last for years to come, as this recent project of ours shows, below.

When looking for other colours to match with your blue kitchen cabinets, consider light blues, or pale greys (perfect on island cabinets), and a veined, white worktop to complete the look.

 2. Pale and pastel blues are popular

On the cabinets, backsplashes, or walls, a pale blue like powder or eggshell, brings a softer feel to the kitchen. We love this aqua shade in a supermatt finish.

3. A calming influence

Blue is proven to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere, and studies show it even increases your productivity levels! So, if you often find yourself using your kitchen as a home office or you’re thinking of incorporating a social kitchen island where the kids will do their homework, then blue might be the perfect shade for your new space.
