![]() ![]() Green and white are ideal if you are after an effortlessly elegant kitchen. Noticing a lot of green here? But green is such on classic kitchen color if you are looking for something a bit bolder than neutral and it's a color that pairs so well with other shades. It’s a mix taken from nature, which is why it works so well.' 5. The green–pink combination is one we love at deVOL. Soft blush pinks and faded rose pinks mix so perfectly with sage and olive greens. More recently we have seen pinks become sophisticated and acceptable. It feels a little frivolous and not very grown up, or at least it used to. 'There is something exciting about having pink in your home. It’s so girly, I know, but I’m ok with it,' says Helen Parker, creative director at deVOL. It's the perfect combination if you want a more colorful kitchen but still want it to feel chic and soft. See how in this green kitchen the olive, sagey tone feels very livable and the plaster pinks and soft woods help bring out those warmer tones to make it an even softer shade. In their most muted forms, we think pink and green almost act like a neutral – no bolder than gray. They are the perfect pairing, especially in a kitchen, and it is a far less bold combination than you might think. Whoever said pink and green must never be seen could not have been more wrong. For a splash of drama, the island has been picked out in our blackest blue Railings which brings in a ‘modern’ note and acts as a focal point.' 'For a play on this delicate pastel shade, it has been teamed with a gentle white named School House White that has an underlying note of yellow and green, delivering a perfect scheme that offers charm and freshness to this low-ceiling kitchen. Seen here, Setting Plaster from Farrow & Ball, offers a delicate dose of warmth but resonates so beautifully with the oh-so-fashionable grey veined marble backsplash and black granite – adding softness to the stone elements.' 'Not a candy pink but something much more gentle, more nuanced, a slightly browner, earthier pink. 'A new take on the country kitchen – move over sage green and embrace the pink,' says Patrick O'Donnell of Farrow & Ball. This pink kitchen gets it all right – the contemporary marble backsplash plus the deeper blue of the kitchen island make this kitchen far more stylish than saccharine. Now this kitchen color combination may sound a bit overly sweet, too soft even, but ground this pairing with some deeper shades and cooler accents and it creates a beautifully calming kitchen. It’s a classic! For those looking for something softer, a greige-toned timber for cabinets and a taupe/beige wall can equally look smart.' Dark blue is another great color to use in a kitchen paired with white. A dark charcoal timber from DeVOL, or a warmer dark walnut is a great pairing with a neutral backdrop and when paired with marble backsplashes/surfaces and brass hardware, a simple palette can really wow. 'We like to pair neutral walls, Strong White from Farrow & Ball or Pointing, with dark, dramatic kitchen cabinet colors for a modern look. Kitchens are an investment, so you don’t want to be stuck with a cabinet or tile color which you dislike in only a few years.' 'As a studio, we like to advocate timeless and classic colors which don’t date. 'When choosing a color palette for your kitchen you need to consider the amount of natural light the kitchen receives at different times of the day, alongside artificial light and of course, the colors that you like, says Tom Rutt, founder of TR Studios. When choosing a blue, we'd go for something with a grey undertone rather than a classic navy blue – love navy but navy kitchens are everywhere right now, and opting for something a bit steelier and edgier will make the space more unique. Even just a splash of white used on countertops or a backsplash will lift blue cabinetry. This is a classic kitchen color scheme and the perfect way to dabble in the never-ending trend for darker shades without compromising on light and brightness. ![]()
