Colour is making a comeback in the kitchen! If your home improvement plans include a kitchen renovation, be bold and follow one of the hottest design and colour trends in 2021.
From country style kitchens to kitchens with ultra-sleek, contemporary lines, interior designers and home renovators are embracing colour again after the popularity of white, monochromatic kitchens. And we’re not just talking a touch of colour here and there. We’re talking kitchen cabinets and painted or tiled feature walls through to splashbacks and floor tiles.
So, what’s on the menu when it comes to colour for your kitchen renovation?
Earthy tones: Green is the kitchen colour of the year. Think soft and subtle eucalypt, mint and sage to deeper shades such as olive greens and emerald. Pair these with the natural, organic textures of timber and stone.
Moody hues: Building on the enduring trend of grey interiors, dark charcoal kitchen cabinets are being complemented with darker timbers such as walnut.
Coastal cool: Every shade of blue is making an appearance, with navy and midnight blue featuring in mood boards all over Pinterest and used to contrast crisp whites.
Retro revival: Nostalgia for simpler days is sparking a return to pastel pinks and blues (and yes, even orange and lime green). Kitchen colour palettes are being inspired by the modernist homes of the 1950s, 60s and boho 70s.
Still love the idea of an all-white kitchen?
If keeping it neutral is more your style, there are a myriad of ways to inject colour and personality into your kitchen renovation. Try the use of marble and stone benchtops, timber and tapware. Consider your choice of accessories, including benchtop appliances, light fittings and furnishings such as stools and indoor plants. All of these can provide a refreshing contrast to white kitchen cabinets without the long-term commitment to colour.
