Choosing between various kitchen colour schemes during a renovation might be something that’s preoccupying your mind. Or it could be something you haven’t yet given much thought to. Either way, whether it’s the kitchen benchtop colours or the shading of your cabinetry, there are many ways to incorporate a bit of colour to the space.
To help you find the right colour scheme for your kitchen, we’ve put together this handy guide. Remember: At the end of the day, the choice is yours. It’s your kitchen and you should be happy with its look and feel!
Kitchen Colour Scheme Options
White: clean and classy
White is a classic colour choice for a kitchen. Apart from the fact that it’s both elegant and inoffensive, white schemes don’t go out of style. If you’re a fan of minimalist and modern design, an all-white kitchen will go a long way to achieving that overall look. Plus, as a room of the house that sees a lot of traffic and business, a white colour scheme can help keep the space feeling and looking clean and spacious. Of course, there’s plenty of opportunity to infuse a bit of additional colour later on. But a white kitchen is a strong option as your initial, baseline kitchen colour scheme.
Black: bold and impressive
A black colour scheme may not come to mind when you’re considering options for your kitchen. Yet this bold colour choice can be very visually impressive. Whether you incorporate a dark kitchen benchtop only or opt for a black splashback to pop against the rest of the kitchen, the creative options are near endless.
You can even combine the two colour schemes mentioned so far. A black and white kitchen presents an aesthetically pleasing contrast and allows you to play with both foundational colours in a way that works really well.
Grey: timeless and elegant
Grey kitchen colour schemes are equally as timeless as white designs but still brings a bit of visual depth and complexity that some might feel is lacking in an all-white space. One of the key benefits of grey is that it allows you to infuse plenty of other colours as well. Grey simply pairs perfectly with almost any colour. Not to mention the fact that the sheer amount of different shades of grey gives you the versatility to find the perfect colour scheme to match the rest of your home and your preference.
Beige: calming and unique
Beige offers a lot of benefits as a kitchen colour scheme. For one thing, its lightness and brightness will evoke similar feelings of spaciousness as white. However, the tinges of colour and pinkness will go a long way to bringing your kitchen to life without being overwhelming. Like many of the colours on this list, there’s a wide spectrum of beige shading. This gives you plenty of opportunity to mix and match until you find the right style of beige that feels both calming and unique.
Brown: Earthy and warm
Brown is another, somewhat surprising, option for your kitchen. In fact, in recent years brown is becoming much more of a trendy choice for use in kitchens and homes in general. Used considerately and sparingly it can really inject a sense of comfort and warmth by evoking Earthy, natural feelings. Darker browns can complement wooden cabinetry while a lighter brown stone countertop can perfectly match a lighter kitchen as well.
Gold: bright and luxurious
If you’re after a luxurious feel for your kitchen, nothing stands out quite like a gold colour scheme. In addition to the yellow tones providing a positive emotional effect on family and friends, gold features in a kitchen can help highlight sunlight, brightness and joy. If you’re after a more regal or royal look, gold fittings, cabinetry and even wall cladding can elevate your kitchen in wonderful ways.
Green: refreshing and striking
Green kitchen colours is yet another emerging and increasingly popular trend. If you love the thought of incorporating a green-toned benchtop or green feature walls, there’s still plenty of scope to further choose your shade. From striking lime green to the refreshing look of mint green, this colour scheme can really bring on a sense of both harmony and visual flair at the same time. While we recommend choosing lighter shades of green, especially in kitchens with a lot of natural light, carefully considered applications of darker green can truly have a mesmerising effect as well.
Orange and red: Moody and captivating
It won’t surprise you at this point but both orange and red can be incorporated into your kitchen colour schemes in a variety of shades and ways. Paired with wooden countertops or even a grey island bench, both of these striking colours can really add a sense of wonder to your kitchen. We do recommend, however, taking into consideration the tones of the rest of your kitchen of course. A darker kitchen colour scheme might require a brighter orange or red tone, while a grey kitchen could look wonderful with darker feature colours of orange or red.
Blue: Stunning and limitless
Blue, whether it’s navy or baby blue, can be used quite creatively throughout the kitchen. Some of the most recent kitchen colour trends include incorporating deep navy cabinets that pop against white tiled walls and splashbacks. Alternatively, a slab of blue natural stone for your countertop with complex veining and patterns can look an absolute treat in just about any kitchen. Blue as a colour is extraordinarily versatile and there’s enough options of shading to suit any personal preference and application.
