Help...what colour scheme for my new kitchen?

7 years ago

Bought a new house with the kitchen already chosen. Struggling for ideas as to what colour to scheme it with?
We have bought a round table with grey base and rustic type top.

Hi Lucy. The kitchen looks quite a grey blue on my screen. I would go for a copper kettle and toaster. Also brighten the worktop by adding potted herbs and some wooden boards. I would then look at shades of orange, coral, terracotta or blush for either chairs or cushions for the chairs. I think an orangey tan leather would also work as would a copper chair. I might go for a sisal rug to add some texture and lighten the floor a little, you can get ones with both honey and grey tones in or instead add pattern (depending on chair choice). I'd also add a large potted plant in the corner by the bay and utility. Art with blues in and a touch of an orangey colour too.

Hi Lucy. Not much I can add to the above. I think the oranges are a good bet for the space. The rug sounds like a fab idea and texture for the room as well as keeping with the rustic feel of the table.

I would keep the walls as light as possible to give you options to change the feel or colour pallet of the space later ...I would probably go for a white on the walls myself and then add colour in the accessories, splash back and furniture with the plants adding some life, softer touches and really playing against the grey and oranges (tans).

It looks like you have neutral bedding, carpet and curtains already so you can put any colour on the walls. When you look at testers make sure that you like it in electric light. If it were my room I would choose a stronger colour as it will be broken up by a lot of neutrals......I say take inspiration from the rest of your house- choose a colour from the same pallet to those used in other rooms so that the each room feels like it has come from the same imagination and has a sense of increased space and flow.

Hello there, Thanks for your reply, and you’re very welcome. I have found you some similar colours to the list you have provided below: Farrow Ball Skimming Stone Dulux Elderflower Tea Farrow Ball Worsted 284 Dulux Dusted Moss 1 Farrow Ball Elephants Breath Dulux Knotted Twine I hope these colour suggestions are helpful. Unfortantly I wasn’t able to find the colour Wattle II or Wattle III, so I can’t match a Dulux colour from our range I’m afraid. If you would like to double check the colour names, or send me a link to the colours, I would be more than happy to find you a similar colour for you.

Ah... if you haven't moved in, stay off paint for a while. They can hide minor leaks! Pressure test the bathroom before painting. You will find it a lot less boring during summer! If you are ordering shutters, a non-white one might be a good option to start with. If you don't want to invest at such early stage, look up 247blinds, I always get my blinds from them and the blinds are very easy to install. Hope it helps :)

Hi Lucy. That a very nice platinum blue / grey kitchen. All it needs is a splash of colour via furniture or accessories. You could introduce colourful dining chairs and perhaps change the stainless steel splashback behind the hob with a coloured glass splashback to make it more lively.

Here are some example images from our past projects as well as some ideas for dining chairs to bring in colour.

Hi guys...thank you very much for your comments.

I was thinking along the lines of the copper too.... I was putting together some ideas last night and have attached a mood board which I created last night to try and get a vision.

Not so sure about bright coloured chairs as I would like to leave the opportunity to change it easily if I wanted to. Let me know your thoughts on the pic I have attached

Hi there - a nice neutral base to work with. I'd certainly consider copper - very "now" and there are lots of great copper accessories on the market at the moment. Adding a hint of peacock feather irridescent blues/greens could also work with this and the copper.

I can't quite tell the tone of the greys from the photos, but an alternative route to try would be a splash of lime green and then some hints (but just hints!) of a vibrant orange. We've seen this done to great effect with clients, although their "grey" palette was a little lighter.

Have fun deciding!

Hi Lucy. It's quite hard to see some of the things to be honest but the table looks lovely! I would say with the copper that less is probably more. As it's the same hard surface I would try and mix in a few different materials to Add some texture. If you're building on the grey then try also to get some contrast. I like the canisters, toaster (and presumably matching kettle) and the light. It also looks as if there's a copper blind?!

Hi Minnie,

No copper blind, can't seem to find any but not sure if it would be too much?
