5 Stunning Neutral Kitchen Colour Schemes

 

Gone are the days of dull neutrals. Neutral kitchen colour schemes have been brought up to date with elegant, sophisticated shades that add character and interest to your space. From cool greys and greens to warm creams and pinks, neutral colours bring life to your kitchen.

But you may be wondering, what’s the best neutral colour scheme for a kitchen?

We’ve picked 5 of our favourite neutral schemes from our stunning custom kitchen portfolio.

1. Calm and serenity: the timeless power of white

It’s no coincidence that white is the most popular kitchen colour. It’s known for its light-reflecting properties, making it ideal for smaller kitchens that need to feel bright and spacious.

In this London Town House Kitchen, the furniture is hand painted in our custom Lime White paint. It perfectly complemented the precious creamy quartz worktop and splashback. The light reflects beautifully from the kitchen window, creating a feeling of space and calm.

The townhouse kitchen is an elegant room that engenders feelings of peace and serenity. It’s a space where you can relax, rejuvenate, and find inspiration.

2. Modern classic: a fresh take on neutral kitchens

This expansive kitchen at the secluded Surrey estate by Martin Moore is configured for large-scale entertaining. A full run of cabinetry anchors one side of the room, flanked by a breakfast cupboard and generous fridge freezer cabinets and freezer units.  

At the heart of the space lies a broad island housing a myriad of pull-out storage solutions alongside a bespoke china store designed to serve the dining table with ease.

One side of the kitchen opens directly onto the terrace and pool, drawing in natural light that enhances the hand-finished surfaces and emphasises the richness of the dark walnut bespoke bar, which features cabinet lighting to its own effect.

The restrained palette of hand painted neutrals provides an elegant backdrop to the architecture of the space and the finely crafted furniture. The finish is calm and considered, creating a setting in which to cook, entertain and relax with family and friends.

Inspiration tip:

Pair your chosen neutral with natural materials such as wood or stone to add warmth and texture.

3. Hint of pink: a soft kitchen colour scheme

While pink may not be the first colour you think of when choosing neutrals for your kitchen, a touch of blush pink creates an elegant look in this Hampshire kitchen.

Blended with neutral cream, the pink brings warmth and softness to the room. It’s a truly relaxing setting where friends and family can gather.

Pairing blush pink with darker tones like slate grey or dark walnut adds a splash of drama to your kitchen. Here, a dark granite worktop surrounds the cooker for a striking feature that’s bold and stylish. The scheme is complete with beautiful brass handles to add a touch of warmth.

Neutral kitchen idea:

Use a neutral base with one bold accent colour (like brass or navy) to add personality.

4. Cool and modern neutrals

Cool neutral kitchen colours with undertones of green and grey make kitchen spaces feel spacious and airy. In addition to reflecting light cook neutrals create a timeless, stylish feel.. They pair wonderfully with crisp greys, blues, charcoal and black for a tranquil, elegant look.

In this 1920’s Hertfordshire property, we created this classic look with the use of contemporary neutrals. Soft furnishings add hints of grey, green and blue to the glamorous New Deco scheme.

If you are looking for a versatile kitchen colour that you can make your own, then cool neutrals could be the colour choice for you.
