Kitchen Design Trends – Beyond White

Kitchen cabinets in white will always be in favour, however, a colour from a tried and tested palette can add so much character to the heart of your home.

‘Greige’ is the new beige, this colour with its grey undertones, adds elegance to a kitchen and looks great with dark, white or marble benchtops. For those planning to make a bolder move, carefully selected shades of blue, grey and green will help your kitchen make a design statement.

When choosing a colour, including white, ensure you view a large colour sample in the proposed location. The amount of natural light, flooring colour and interior wall colour, will greatly impact how the kitchen cabinets will look in your specific space.

So make sure you, together with your Kitchen Designer, run through this process before colour selection.

3. To achieve good ergonomics, determine the main users?
4. What features are on your must-have list?
