Kitchen Trends: The January Blues

The holidays are over, but fear not, there is still much to be excited about and even more beautiful projects on our website and social media available for your viewing and kitchen reno planning pleasures! Last year, we saw an abundance of blues in kitchen design and we don’t think this classy colour is going to hang up it’s hat in 2020.

Entire Kitchen Blue

A very popular way of playing with colour and drama is by choosing one blue colour for all of your cabinetry. Bond Street and Maritime from Mylands, orHague Blue from Farrow & Ball are all very popular colours and always look nice in every different style kitchen.

Contrasting Island

A contrasting blue kitchen island is an absolute classic. This style is effortlessly chic and a great way to inject colour into your space. If you’re unsure of going bold with your cabinetry, a dark blue kitchen island will set a fun tone to the space whilst a light contrasting colour on the rest of the units will make your kitchen feel balanced.

Opposites Attract

Another great way to add a darker tone to kitchen is by dividing the colours between your top and bottom units. Keeping the bolder colour on the bottom, adds height to the space making the kitchen feel larger. This can be a very useful tip when designing galley or smaller kitchens.

Tiles

If blue cabinetry isn’t your thing don’t worry, there are other ways of implementing colour into your design. One very fun way to go is by adding a decorative tile on your floors or splashbacks. This will make your space feel a bit more modern and definitely add a lot of character to your kitchen. These Scallop tiles in ‘Navy’ were very popular in 2019.

We don’t think blues will be leaving us in 2020! However we will start to see lighter and more powdery/pastel toned blues in the new year as opposed to the moodier dark blues of 2019.
