How to use colour in a kitchen design
Colour can add personality to a kitchen, ensure you get it right with these tips
Incorporate colour into a kitchen design to express your personality and individual style with these ideas.
Kitchens are an expensive element of your self-build or home renovation project and are built to stand the test of time.
It can be a daunting prospect to introduce colour into your kitchen design. Especially if you’re aiming for a timeless scheme, or if you’re concerned about preserving your home’s re-sale value. However, if done successfully, colour can add a sense of fun and uniqueness to your design that will make your home a joy to live in.
Statement worktops
Be bold with your kitchen design and introduce colour into your space through your choice of worktop. Certain stone and quartz designs will contain natural pigmentation that will no doubt make a statement. For example the Excava worktop by Caesarstone is characterised by the intriguing patinas of casting and oxidising. It combines the authentic features of rust and concrete. It reflects the geological decay of stone, weathered by time and nature.

Contrasting cabinets
Rather than choosing cabinetry that’s colourful in its entirety, opting for a kitchen design with contrasting cabinets is a smart way of incorporating colour and vibrancy without it looking too overwhelming. An island in a contrast hue is a great way to add a splash of colour and keep your kitchen from bland uniformity.
