Blue Is The Colour When It Comes To Kitchens, Says Moores

When it comes to kitchens, colour choices vary year on year swaying from soft heritage shades through to classic neutrals. But with the kitchen evolving in recent times and serving as more of a communal living space, homeowners have become increasingly confident with their design choices, opting for bold statement shades to give the heart of their home personality and a sense of style, say the experts at Moores.

Over the past two years, dark blue has taken centre stage in all areas of the home with cobalt and turquoise, replaced by dark, inky shades such as navy and indigo. After Pantone made ‘Classic Blue’ its colour of the year in 2020, sales of dark blue kitchens surged amongst housebuilders and consumers.

While a blue kitchen was unheard of five years ago, the colour has proven itself to be incredibly easy to work with. The combination of dark blue with a shaker profile gives Kensington a confident edge, but with a more traditional feel which makes it easy to adapt to any living scheme.

Neil McDonald, Design Manager at Moores, comments: “Kensington Indigo Blue lends itself to the trend for dark, bold tones and is easy to style with other popular looks. Calacatta quartz worktops, antique wooden floors through to ultra-modern glass and aluminium splashbacks; anything goes with this highly impactful shade. You can make the look more mainstream or channel high-end designer style. Either way, you can make this shade your own thanks to the versatility of the dark blue cabinetry. We expect it’s a trend that will keep on growing as we move forward into 2022.”
