Well, it\u2019s no surprise given that blue is a famously versatile shade, and one that works well in pretty much any kitchen setting.<\/p>\n<p>The calming aura of blue makes it an especially great backdrop for busy kitchen spaces, and here at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/\">Savoy Timber<\/a><\/strong>, our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\">laminate kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong> can be purchased in a variety of shades to perfectly complement your kitchen design. Whether you opt for a bold navy kitchen colour pallet, or a cool cobalt or sky blue, we\u2019ve got a worktop to suit you.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is it about blue kitchens that\u2019s captured the hearts and minds of us here in the UK?<\/p>\n<h2>The perfect partner for white<\/h2>\n<p>Generally speaking, white is the go-to kitchen colour for a lot of people. It\u2019s the ideal blank canvas for building any kind of kitchen design you like, and it looks absolutely fantastic when you pair it with blue. If you\u2019re thinking about mixing and matching your kitchen unit colours, or you just fancy juxtaposing a colour with another, say by placing white laminate kitchen worktops over blue kitchen cupboards, then white and blue is the colour combination for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Shake-r things up with blue<\/h2>\n<p>Shaker style kitchens look gorgeous with a splash of blue here and there. Painting a shaker style kitchen in a deep, dark hue like navy can add a real sense of sophistication and gravitas to your space. Plus, the dark blue shade works just as well on an accent wall to anchor the rest of your design scheme. If you\u2019re looking to add a statement feature to your home, then look no further than a shaker kitchen coupled with elements of dark blue.<\/p>\n<h2>Think about adding some gold and brass<\/h2>\n<p>Small, subtle additions of metallic elements can really bring a sense of maturity and class to your kitchen design. By implementing gold and brass handles to your cupboards and fixtures, you can really make the blue elements of your kitchen stand out. Metal on blue is a widely regarded as a fantastic combination by kitchen designers across the globe as it only serves to further add to the sophistication of your kitchen space.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-3902 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/blue-kitchen1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/blue-kitchen1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/blue-kitchen1-300x122.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Blue compliments wooden fixtures<\/h2>\n<p>On the colour wheel, blue is largely considered to be one of the quintessentially cooler tones on the spectrum, so it\u2019s worth considering some warmer elements to help balance out the aesthetic. Try adding some wooden fixtures to elevate the tone and atmosphere of the room. Wood introduces hints of yellow and red to the visual spectrum of your space, balancing out the strong blue colours.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, blue is the perfect colour for kitchens. Light blues work particularly well in smaller kitchens, whereas dark blues bring a real sense of drama to larger kitchens without compromising on the spacious feel.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re looking to take the plunge with a full blue kitchen makeover, our tips above should provide the inspiration you need to start you on the right path.
