Kitchen Trends: Two Tone Kitchens

We love how matching a combination of colours in a space can completely transform the mood and atmosphere and create a design that creates a wow-factor. That’s why adding a second colour to your kitchen is an excellent way to add interest to your space. Depending on the colour combinations a two tone kitchen can bring balance, contrast or boldness to the space, which makes you want to spend even more time there. In this blog post we speak a bit about how you can make a two tone kitchen really stand out and, also what you can combine with it.

There are many ways of making a two tone kitchen work, however, some of the best ways of achieving a modern yet classic space is to consider the following. A contrast colour for the island works really well so for example go with lighter cabinets and a dark island to achieve this look, naturally this can be done the other way around also. Alternatively, working with tones of the same contrast is beautiful, so think mixing pastels or mixing deep purples and red for different tones of the same colour. These are straightforward and easy ways to implement two-tone design into your kitchen whilst making an impact.

Often you might think that a dark colour, which you love already, might look and feel too dark for the space you have available. The best way to keep the colour in your design is by breaking the cabinetry up with a lighter, softer colour to balance the space. This way you don’t have to compromise on the dark colour you love. A two-tone kitchen will generally make a space feel and look bigger. We have a selection of colour combinations as part of the Herringbone Paint range here.

In addition to two tone cabinetries, at times adding some decorative splash back tiles or a mirror splashback that enhances the colour tones can work really well. This will not only make a statement as well as add character but also keep the balance and harmony of your interior design choices. This also goes for your choice of handles, cookers and hardware as the colours you pick for your cabinetry will help pull the design together.
