Choosing the perfect look, colour palette and design of your bespoke kitchen should always reflect your personality and style.
And if your favourite look is dark, then you are right on trend as both Navy and Carbon are really dominating the colour wheel of some of the most stylish kitchens today.
Why navy?
According to colour psychology, blue brings feelings of calmness and serenity to our minds. It is a peaceful and tranquil colour and is often seen as a sign of security, stability, and reliability – what’s not to love about that!?
Navy not only brings style to a kitchen, but it also conveys the feeling of a safe and calming place. If cooking is your thing, then that feeling of calmness just adds to the pleasure of the task.
It’s also versatile and can be used as both a traditional and contemporary colour working best as a statement island contrasting effortlessly with tones of grey.
Why carbon?
The colour carbon falls under the blue/black family and is symbolic of mystery, power, elegance, and sophistication.
It adds a touch of drama and mystery to a room and pairs wonderfully with uplifting shades like white, silver or tan.
Carbon is the perfect colour for those looking to make a statement with their kitchen, all while remaining effortlessly stylish.
It’s a fairly new colour to kitchens, but very popular with our customers and offers itself to all kitchen styles from classic to industrial.
How to style dark colours
It might seem daunting to those who have not considered it, but darker colours such as carbon and navy are stealing the spotlight within interior design and could be the perfect fit for you.
Here are some of our tips for styling the darker parts of your kitchen:
- For something more glamourous, add soft grey velvet barstools and an antiqued mirror splashback.
- For something more urban, add concrete style worktops and distressed oak shelving.
- Both colours look stunning when used as one colour throughout. It is for the brave, but the results look phenomenal.
