Choosing colours in your kitchen can be so difficult, believe us we know! There is such a huge amount of choice for all aspects of your kitchen.
Matching your kitchen colours can make your kitchen the one of your dreams and the focal point of the house! In this article, we’ll use our expertise in the industry to help you achieve a stunning kitchen!
The starting point of any project can be daunting! Where do you start?
Think about your kitchen in three sections; Flooring, Cabinets, Work Surfaces. We always advise starting from your work surfaces and working back from there. Your surfaces will be the first thing people see!
There is such a huge range of work surfaces in various materials (quartz, granite, sintered stone, Dekton). Due to the amount of worktops on the market the choice is seemingly endless to ensure you have something perfect for you!
Selecting colour is completely down to preference, of course. However, there are ways to whittle down your selection.
One of the main ways to select colours is based of your kitchen style. As an example, modern kitchens tend to use bolder colours or patterns such as Calacattas with predominantly white colours being perhaps the most popular. Where as, traditional kitchens use slightly more subtle colours. Of course, this isn’t always the case!
Another factor to consider is contrasting or matching your flooring, units and work tops. There’s no right way or wrong way and this is down to your preference. Either option would match any style of kitchen!
Above we broke the kitchen down into three sections; flooring, units and work surfaces. To add another layer a backsplash is something to consider. Not all kitchens have these, and it might not be right for you! However, this can be done by tiling, glass, granite/quartz and more! The most popular choice in our opinion is a simple an effective upstand by approx. 100mm high.
The units and work surfaces don’t necessarily have to be the same colour! At Meridian, in recent years we’ve seen the increase in popularity of plain work surfaces on the outside of the kitchen with a centre piece island. This can be the same for your units!
