Choose summer vibes in your kitchens all year round!
When we think of summer in terms of colour, three colours that are most likely to come to mind are yellow, blue and green.
Blue is probably the most iconic shade that comes to mind. It’s a colour that reminds us of warmer climates and crystal clear seas. Also reminiscent of the sun and heat, yellow is a colour that lifts spirits, bringing warmth and energy. And, as the temperatures rise, the plants come to life and our homes are suddenly surrounded by an abundance of green!
Frequently used in interiors, blue and green remains a firm favourite in kitchen design, whereas yellow is favoured more as an accent shade.
Yellow is likely to be one of the last shades you might think of using, yet used in the right proportions and with the right style and finish of kitchen, you can achieve stunning results!
The Italians know just which shade of yellow works! Masters of design and style, vibrant yellow is the second most popular Ferrari colour behind Rosso Red. It’s no surprise then that it works so well in our contemporary Arredo 3 kitchens.
yellow works as an accent colour
Our ’Pentha’ and ‘Moon, Dune, Diva’ ranges from our Italian kitchen collection illustrates just how well yellow works as an accent colour!
In fact, in a predominantly monochromatic kitchen, where the colour scheme is a combination of grey and white, bright yellow adds vibrancy to the overall scheme with pops of colour.
Blue has always been a favourite painted kitchen colour. With so many shades to choose from, the blue painted trends have vastly varied over recent years from striking Hague Blue to softest Eau de Nil.
When it comes to blue, almost anything goes… Because our handmade, bespoke kitchens are painted to order, any combination of colours really is possible!
The same can be said for green too.
So many shades of green work effortlessly together— no surprise really, given the amazing amount of differing tones that nature has to offer! Choosing green for a new kitchen is the perfect way to effortlessly bring the outside in, and if you simply can’t decide on one shade, opt for two!
A bold choice, zesty lime green is not for the feint hearted, especially when vibrant orange is also bought into the mix.
Like vibrant yellow, when hot orange, primary red, or indeed both are used as accent colours, your new kitchen is sure to turn heads!
For those who prefer a slightly tamer palette, warm Terracotta always delights, evoking memories of warmer Mediterranean climates.
Equally, to introduce a summer vibe into your kitchen isn’t just about which colour you pick! Large, open plan spaces, huge expanses of glass or oversized bi-fold doors allow the light to flood in and the outside space to feel that bit closer.
So, whether you’re considering a new Italian styled kitchen with vibrant pops of yellow, or a bespoke English made kitchen, painted to your exacting choice, let the designers at Ray Munn Kitchens realize your dream and start planning your new kitchen today.
