Trend Focus: Colourful Kitchen Ideas

Sticking to block colours

Sticking with block colours is a wonderful way to instantly reinvent the space. Many kitchens tend to feature a subtle palette as this helps to make the space feel larger and open. In many ways, this can act as a soft canvas for adding colour, whether you pick your warming tones or cooling alternatives, colour can help you make your kitchen your own. 

Roller Blinds are a great option to consider when sticking to a block colour, as they feature sleek straight edges, lending themselves nicely to a single, bold colour. With a large selection of colourways, from pinks and purples, to yellows and greens, through to shades of blue and teal, there are some great options for your kitchen on the website!

Expressing ourselves with multicolour

You don’t have to limit yourself to block colour, however. Adding colourful patterns into your kitchen is a great way to express yourself, and there is no better way to do it than through the use of patterned roller blinds. Multiple colours, collaborating in a quality window furnishing, grants us the opportunity to play around with the styling in the kitchen in one space. 

There is a wide range of patterns to consider, from stripes, to floral prints and bold patterns, we can express our unique style with ease. 

The best colour ideas for kitchens

Colours play a vital role in our lives. They can improve our moods and have an influence on our performance. With kitchens being a social space in our homes, ensuring we have a burst of colour is vital for our mental and physical well-being. 

Red kitchens

Red tones are used to energise the space and is particularly beneficial for people who are active. Having pops of red throughout the kitchen is ideal for a kickstart in the morning. Living in the UK, where half the year is spent waking up and it being dark outside, having splashes of red in our kitchens can really jump start us for the day ahead. 

Green kitchens

Green shades are used to help calm us down and reconnect us to nature. It is a fabulous colour to sooth our minds and decrease feelings of anxiety. Translate this through to our kitchens and we will have a calming, well illuminated – by natural light – space for socialising. 

Yellow and orange kitchens

Yellow and orange tones are ideal for getting the creative juices flowing. They are bright happy colours that link to emotions such as excitement and optimism. Injecting yellows and oranges into our kitchens can set us up with a positive outlook on life. 

Blue kitchens

Blue tones are often used to implement a calming sense into interiors. It has been proven to stimulate the mental process and increase work productivity. In a house with school children adding blue into the kitchen will benefit them when working on their homework.

Sage green and pale grey kitchens

Sage green and pale grey is a fantastic colour combination for kitchens. These colours are both refreshing and make a kitchen feel open and regenerating, which is perfect for a space designed to eat yummy food and chat! Where you may have grey surface tops and trendy green cupboards, you can enjoy both sage green and pale grey as part of a patterned roller blind to help tie everything together.

Black and white kitchens

Black and white are a duo that’s hard to beat in the kitchen. If your home is designed around a minimalist theme with elegant furniture, then black and white can be used to great effect. A black topped kitchen table with white chairs set amongst white tiles and black lamp shades will be the perfect environment for hosting a trendy dinner party. Against the windows, consider adding white faux wooden blinds which are perfect for cleaning after any bubbling pots and will look chic!

Red and grey kitchens

Red and grey is a brilliant colour duet. By using grey as the dominant colour in your kitchen fittings, you can use other more vibrant shades to add depth and contrast. Out of these other shades, few are as striking as red! Using juicy or jewel shades of red will help your kitchen feel full of energy. To make the most of it, consider using red for the seat of your chairs, part of matching crockery you may have on display (think bowls and pie dishes) and even in your blinds!  

Blue and blue kitchens

Blue and blue may seem odd but bear with me. Blue is an amazing colour that works with a great range of other tones, especially other shades of itself. Take inky dark blues. Dark blue cupboard and cabinet doors will look stylish and full of personality, however, adding pale blue cushions to any dark blue sofas you may add to your kitchen will make it pop! Likewise, pale blue kitchen electronics such as a vintage style kettle and toaster will contrast beautifully with the dark blue theme. Moreover, you can use these same ideas by reversing the tones – dark blue is a great spot colour for pale blue too!
