If you’re looking to bring the outside in, opt for earthy green cabinet colours like Sage, Regents Green, or one of our latest introductions, Regiment. With such a vast range of shades to choose from, green is the ideal colour for any kitchen. And we’re also going to see a lot more of it in the next year – read about our 3 key kitchen trends for 2025 here.
Complement the earthy green tones with wooden worktops for a truly authentic feel or go for a natural quartz to create a more contemporary space. Whether you’re working with a smaller or larger area, you can play around with different shades and designs to find the right earthy green kitchen for you.
Warm neutrals can work in any sized kitchen but are the perfect choice if you’re working with a smaller space. From porcelain and chalk to cashmere and dry rose, there are plenty of neutral colours to choose from that inject personality into your kitchen. All of these colours bring warmth and light to your kitchen, making the space look and feel more spacious.
Neutral cabinets work well with natural stone quartz worktops like Taj Mahal or Carrara Marble. For a dramatic effect, add darker accents or pops of brighter colours through cabinet handles, small appliances or lighting.
Arguably one of the biggest kitchen trends of the decade, the deep royal blue and contemporary white marble effect combination remains popular with homeowners. The introduction of a bold blue adds a mood-boosting touch, perfectly set against a pristine white that evokes sleek elegance.
If you don’t quite feel brave enough to invest in blue cabinets, you can incorporate this colour into your kitchen using a backsplash, tiles or lighting features instead for a more subtle look.
It’s no secret that grey is the new go-to colour that pairs with just about everything, and it’s no different when it comes to kitchen design. If you’re looking for an effortless style, opt for a worktop in a slightly different shade of grey to your cabinets. But if you want a dramatic effect, talk yourself into a charcoal black worktop – trust us, it’s worth it.
