Personality
Colour makes the kitchen feel like yours, not a catalogue.
Bold colour kitchens
Bold colour,planned with care.
A deep red, a rich blue or a bottle green can make a kitchen unforgettable. The trick is where to put it, and what to keep calm around it.
Bold colour kitchens
Colour with confidence
A bold colour does not have to cover every cabinet. A single island, a run of tall units or the base cabinets can carry colour, while walls, worktops and wall units stay calm.
Deep tones such as burgundy, navy and bottle green are popular because they feel rich and timeless rather than bright. We help you test a colour in your room first, and decide how much of it to use.

Ideas
Bold colour kitchens: ideas to look at.
Good to know
Things worth checking before you decide.
Test before you commit
Colours look very different at home, so we suggest viewing large samples in your own light.
Decide how much
Colour on one island or wall gives impact with less commitment than a whole kitchen.
Think about the long term
Deep, rich tones tend to age well; very bright shades may date faster.
Questions
Bold colour kitchens: common questions.
Something not covered here? Ask the studio and we will help.
How do I choose a bold colour?
Start with a colour you already like in your home. Then view large samples in your room, in morning and evening light, before deciding.
Can I use colour on just the island?
Yes. A coloured island is a popular way to add personality while keeping the rest of the kitchen calm.
Will a bold colour date?
Deep, rich shades such as bottle green, navy and burgundy tend to age better than very bright ones, but taste varies. Using colour on part of the kitchen keeps it flexible.
What worktop goes with a bold colour?
A neutral stone or timber lets the colour stand out. We can lay samples side by side.
