Whether it’s just a pop of colour or a complete colour transformation, changing up your kitchen colour palette can enhance your kitchen space. You needn’t undergo a renovation either to change up your look. From simplistic feature walls to modern interior design ideas – we share the best ways to add colour to your kitchen space.
If you’re short on time and budget and like to keep things classic, why not opt for a feature wall? While it’s nothing new in kitchen design, it’s still a favourite.
Neutral coloured countertops are a thing of a past. You no longer have to stick to natural materials like wood or granite and neutral colours like grey, black and beige. While neutral coloured worktops are still popular, coloured Corian countertops are proving to be a hit too. So, whether you want a touch of canary yellow or a bold blue hue, it’s completely up to you.
Our high gloss cupboards are a popular feature of the contemporary kitchen. They help add style and sophistication to a kitchen space while making a space feel larger too. Best of all, high gloss cupboards allow you to play with colour while ensuring a multidimensional effect too.
Be daring with your lighting and opt for fun feature LED lights. Coloured under-cabinet lighting can add a stylish glow to your working space while an LED feature wall is another exciting designer kitchen idea.
A kitchen island presents a whole host of opportunities – one of which being the injection of colour. Why not keep the colour of your kitchen neutral except for an injection of colour to your island? A classic colour like deep red, duck egg blue or navy is a great choice and ensures a timeless design too.
If you’re still nervous about colour in the kitchen, why not opt for materials that offer just a touch of colour? Metallic accents in brass, silver or copper can help you make a unique statement without going crazy with colour. Think chrome taps, copper light shades and a dazzling metallic tile splashback… the possibilities are endless.
Another great option for those new to colour, or those keen to keep things classic and simple, is layering. Chose a shade you’re comfortable with – grey usually works well – and layer multiple shades of that colour throughout your kitchen. For example, you could combine a light grey feature wall, dark grey wood cupboards and ash-grey tiles for your flooring.
If a kitchen renovation isn’t on the cards, why not transform your kitchen with coloured accessories and small appliances? Choose one colour and choose appliances and accessories in a single shade. You can often find colourful toasters and kettles and team them with matching curtains, tea towels and crockery too.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
