Kitchen Trend No.4 - Blue Kitchens - presented by The Kitchen Yard

We've already discussed in Kitchen Trend No.1 the Grey Kitchen, and that's been around for quite a while now. Brand New on the horizon is the Blue Kitchen, both light blue and darker blue. My particular favourite is dark Parisian Blue from our Kitchen Stori Range of colours.

An artist’s palette and an architect’s eye create the showpiece that is Phoenix.  An amalgamation of Anthracite, Blue and White take your kitchen to a new level. This kitchen is proof that minimalist can still be interesting. A Modern Kitchen from our ETHOS Range of Kitchens.

Windsor Shaker Ivory and Powder Blue

Combining comtemporary styling with Windsor’s innivative construction and PVC surface. The visible woodgrain effect adds a look and feel of authenticity.  A Contemporary Kitchen from our Kitchen Stori Range.

Clonmel in Stone and Parisian Blue

You can see from the above images that our Blue theme can be used to complement the previous Grey theme, indeed if you want a quick update to your Grey kitchen, why not simply replace some of the doors with a toning Blue, particularly on a feature unit and at the same time meet 3 of our 4 current trends, Grey, Two-colour and Blue, and if your doors are matte you could meet all 4 of our trends.

Kitchen Trend No. 3 - Mixing It Up in the Kitchen - produced by The Kitchen Yard

Why have just one colour of door in your kitchen when you can have 2 or even 3? Add a splash of interest to your new kitchen by having more than one colour of doors. This is a definite trend of the moment. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

Phoenix Anthracite White, Metallic Anthracite and Blue

First of all my personal favourite -

An artist’s palette and an architect’s eye create the showpiece that is Phoenix.  An amalgamation of Anthracite, Blue and White take your kitchen to a new level. This kitchen is proof that minimalist can still be interesting.

Duleek Gloss Tiepolo and Gloss Aubergine

Shapely, sophisticated and ultimately chic, Duleek is pictured with Gloss Tiepolo floor cabinets.  Making a smart contrast to the wood tones, the Gloss Aubergine cabinets are the choice of colour for the cured lift-up cabinets.  And variety provides the spice for this kitchen with glass-fronted and open shelved storage, plus an inventive island unit.

Duleek Gloss Mussel and Lava

Opposites attract with the contrasting dynamics of black and white for the Duleek kitchen.  Bold Lava gives distinction to the subtle neutral tones of Mussel.  While the vivid pink accent colours show how you can add your own panache to the proceedings.  Adaptable for modern living, the curved island and versatile desk/eating space allow you to make this the ultimate multi-function space.

Millburn Natural Oak Lacquered, Anthracite Stain and White Painted

The Millburn uses clean lines and seamless edges,coupled with the ‘J’ handle, to give your kitchen that uncluttered look.  Illustrated in timeless Natural Oak, anthracite stain and white, mixing colour options in a kitchen gives depth, dimension and an oppulent look.

Argon Gloss White and Gloss Lime

A Kitchen for today and all your tomorrows, Argon brings together the genuine elements of pragmatism with quintessential design.  Angular functional cabinets in gloss white are combined with the stunning arched island in gloss lime green, making this kitchen the epi-centre of style and functional flair.

Cologne Dakar and Amfissa

Adding a new perspective on the old French farmhouse look, Cologne is a tour de force in kitchen design. With details a plenty, notice the understated cornice work, the glazed cabinets and the gently moulded curves of the island unit.

Madison Lava and Light Grey

Effortlessly elegant and undeniably gorgeous, the Madison kitchen makes a sophisticated statement with its simple detailing and pure sense of style. The distinct woodgrain, visible through the painted layer, adds to the feeling of authenticity of this timeless classic.
