When planning a new kitchen, as well as the style of the cabinetry, one of the main considerations is the colour. Whether you choose one colour for all the units or you add contrast with a different palette for the island, dresser or pantry, there are so many options that it can be difficult to know where to start. With this in mind, we’ve got all you need to know about 2022-23’s colour trends with inspiring ideas on how to incorporate these into your own kitchen design.
Bring the outside in with Atlantic Green
Current colour trends for kitchens are all about bringing nature inside. Ideal for when the weather starts to turn and we’re hunkering down indoors, choosing a soft green palette is like giving the kitchen a breath of fresh air. Our Whitby Shaker style design for instance can complement all types of property, whether country cottage, Victorian terrace or a modern new build that needs added character. Atlantic Green works wonderfully with wooden accents so think solid oak worksurfaces, timber floorboards or lookalike LVT, open shelving and peg rails.
Introduce earthy tones with Clay
Our Colour Suite is made up of 19 matt finishes with something for everyone, from the richly dark tones of Midnight Blue and Bottle Green to the pastel hues of French Grey and Sage. Another of the latest trends is for introducing earthy tones into your kitchen, again bringing a sense of the outside, in. Our Harbury design looks stunning in our Clay colourway and is perfect for traditional kitchens with aged brass effect pull handles and knobs and crisp white butler sink and work surfaces. It’s a palette that is effortlessly easy to accessorise with grey or putty-coloured tiling, painted and natural wooden furniture and dark stone floor tiles or stripped back and varnished floorboards for a contemporary take on the traditional country cottage feel.
Create a dramatic look with Midnight Blue
Another huge trend in kitchens right now is for bold, darkly dramatic blues. Our Helmsley kitchen in Midnight Blue is a perfect example of how this palette can work with all styles of interior and can be enhanced with patterned floor tiles, iridescent rectangular wall tiles and copper handles, pulls and knobs. Deep blue cabinetry is also perfect for pairing with matching metallic lighting, taps, kettle and toaster in an eye-catching brass design. It also looks stunning with matt black appliances and accessories.
Achieve enduring appeal
The key to the success of all these colour schemes is that each and every one is classically timeless. After all, your kitchen is a long-term investment so you want it to last for years to come. The Laura Ashley brand is all about classic British design and craftsmanship that captures the mood of the moment. That’s why our kitchen colour suite is on-trend and always will be.
