Ok, so we’re not REALLY going to tell you what to do, but we will try and impart a little wisdom when it comes to kitchen colours. Honestly, it’s not as easy as you think to choose the right colour, and one wrong shade and the room feels just a little bit…off.
Overly dark shades
Dark, moody kitchens look great in a magazine spread, right? Well, they’re not always great in a little kitchen or in one without much natural light. You don’t want it to feel like a cave in there.
The BBC feature on interior colour trends showed that dark kitchens are stylish, but only in well-lit spaces.
Trendy “out there” colours
On the opposite end of the spectrum are the colours that wow if they’re in a highlighter pen but aren’t so hot if it’s on your kitchen walls. Neons? Ultra-pastels? Probably best to step away from the quirky colour wheel on this one!
Custom kitchen doors in more timeless shades give you flexibility to swap handles or worktops later without clashing with your walls – or your eyes.
High-maintenance whites
White is a beautiful kitchen colour but it shows up every single smudge and stain. Crispy white kitchens just aren’t sustainable, especially if you love to cook. If you’re browsing options, you can find custom kitchen doors like https://www.happy-doors.co.uk/shop/products/kitchens in more forgiving shades that still look fresh and modern.
A little thought now saves a lot of regret later. Stick to colours that make your kitchen feel welcoming and – most importantly, easy to live with.
