Latest Trends: Colourful Kitchens

We’re always excited to explore and incorporate trends in interior design. One of the most vibrant and dynamic trends we’re seeing in kitchens today is a bold use of colour. Gone are the days when neutral tones might have had the monopoly on interior design. Many homeowners are now embracing colourful homes that exude their own personality, warmth and creativity. The vibrant kitchen trend is not just about aesthetics, we reckon they reflect a shift towards more personalised and expressive interior design!

So, why are such bright & funky spaces popping up in the interior design world?

Personal expression:

Colourful interiors allow homeowners to infuse their own personality into a space. Whether it’s a bold island or colourful cabinets, these shades can reflect individual tastes and styles!

Creating warm and inviting spaces:

A bright and vibrant atmosphere can make a kitchen feel more welcoming and lively. A splash of yellow or orange can instantly uplift the mood, making the kitchen a happier place to be. Perfect if you’re somebody who loves to entertain, after all the kitchen is often the heart of a home.

Breaking monotony:

Colour can break the monotony of all white or neutral kitchens. It adds a visual interest which can make the space feel more exciting and alive. Clever use of colour can also help in kitchen zones - a colourful splashback, contrasting wall cabinets... the world is your colourful oyster!

If you’re considering a colourful kitchen in your home, here are some ideas we’ve implemented in recent projects that might inspire you:

Coloured cabinetry:

One of the most impactful ways to add colour is through cabinetry. We’ve worked with clients to choose shades that complement their overall home décor and personal style. Take a look at this gorgeous kitchen where our clients chose bold sky-blue cabinetry with yellow countertops. We absolutely love it, and so apparently did Quarto Books when they asked for our permission to feature this kitchen in a beautiful book about colourful interiors!

Bold backsplashes or tiling:

A colourful backsplash or tiles can serve as focal points in your kitchen. In this same kitchen, we and the clients decided on gorgeous bright pink grouting between white tiles. The effect along with that colourful cabinetry is just so fun. We can install everything from vibrant tiles to sleek, single-colour glass backsplashes that add a pop of colour and personality.

Accents and accessories:

For those who prefer a more subtle approach, colourful accents and accessories can do the trick. Brightly coloured bar stools at your kitchen island, bold pendant lights, or even small appliances like toasters and mixers can make a huge difference. These elements can also be easily updated to keep up with changing trends.

Two tone Kitchens:

A popular trend we’ve seen lately and love is the use of two tone colour schemes. This can involve different colours for upper and lower cabinets or even a contrasting island. It’s a great way to introduce colour without overwhelming the space. In this gorgeous kitchen project we incorporated pink and green cabinetry in an otherwise neutral kitchen and the effect is just gorgeous.

Colourful homes are all about embracing creativity and making your space a true reflection of your style. We’re passionate about helping you create a home that not only meets your functional needs but can also provide joy and inspiration every day.
