Captivating blue kitchen design

1. A Splash of Blue Kitchen Design

If you are working with a white of neutral kitchen design and are not keen on adding oodles of colour to the space, an aqua blue colour backsplash can be just the element to elevate your white or minimal kitchen design. From solid hues or textured paint effect to blue patterned tiles, this backsplash will add a layer of visual interest to the decor. When creating a backsplash, keep in mind that smaller tiles result in more grout lines that can be difficult to keep clean especially behind the cooking range. To really bring out this feature, add profile lights under the top kitchen cabinets.

2. Add Vintage Charm with Soft Blue Kitchen Cabinets

Another way to introduce colour to your kitchens is by installing blue kitchen cabinets. Your kitchen cabinets create quite a vast expanse so soft or pale blue is a great way to experiment with blue within your kitchen design if you are curious about adding colour to this space. Sticking with this colour palette for your kitchen cabinets can seamlessly fit into a multitude of décor styles though it works wonders to add a soft vintage charm to your space, especially when paired with rustic wood and soft white elements.

3. Uplift a Blue Colour Kitchen with Contrasting Accents

This kitchen by Studio Osmosis uses a muted shade of blue for the cabinets which adds a summer-vibe to the overall kitchen design. Creating a cheerful contrast are the fiery red accents dotting the backsplash and running the perimeter of the ceiling. Sunshine yellow and warm orange would also work as contrasting elements.

4. Layer Different Blue Kitchen Paint Colours

Why stick to just one shade of blue when you can have fun with layering a few shades within different features. From the cabinets and chips in the flooring to the blue wall kitchen, the different shades of blue within the space add dimension. Highlight the colour palette by layering different finishes and textures like the textured wall, terrazzo flooring and backsplash.

5. Bring on the Drama with a Black and Blue Colour Kitchen Design

Accentuate a blue kitchen design with dramatic black accents supplemented with industrial or modern elements. The black marble flooring, track lighting system and sleek appliances in black transform a regular kitchen into an exceptional experience.

6. Cobalt and Marble Create a Vibrant Blue Colour Kitchen Design

If you are looking for blue kitchen paint colours that make a statement, cobalt is a vibrant option. It brightens up the kitchen and energises the visual. Since it is such a strong colour, pairing it with marble and soft whites is an ideal way to make a splash without it being to exaggerated. 

7. Blue and White Kitchen Design for the Win

As we already know, one of the most popular colours for kitchens is white, especially for smaller areas. The small kitchen in this image is a great example of maximising the space without compromising on aesthetics. White and a whisper of grey form the ideal background to take on the blue kitchen cabinets as a highlighting feature of the neutral colour palette. Even though this blue is a deeper shade with grey undertones, it does not overwhelm the limited space. You can even experiment with a navy or midnight blue and white kitchen design. 

8. Pair Wood and Stainless Steel with Your Blue Kitchen Design

If you are confused about the material palette for your blue kitchen design, you cannot go wrong with a wood finish and stainless-steel elements. These work well within the kitchen environments as well as with a multitude of blue shades. One thing to keep in mind when exploring blue colour kitchen design is your lighting. Lighting can dramatically change the way you perceive colours in your home. Different shades of blue can look very different in daylight and artificial light. The direction of the daylight as well as the colour temperature of the artificial light can also make a huge difference to the overall appearance.

9. Blue with Grey is a Timeless Combination for a Modular Kitchen

Blue and grey is a great combination for kitchen colour design. You can use grey as the base colour and accentuate it with blue elements or your can use blue and grey as highlighting features within a neutral shell as in the image. This matte antique blue island and deep grey wall hung cabinets bring life to the white and wood kitchen design.
