What better way to extend the summer than with a warm and inviting Mediterranean-style kitchen. Back in fashion once again, the old-world style of a Mediterranean kitchen is a great way to add outstanding design to your home. In today’s blog we’re going to tell you how to get the look – mixing laid-back Mediterranean style with today’s modern kitchen…
Oranges, yellows and blues are all great colours to incorporate into your Mediterranean kitchen design. You needn’t go too overboard though. Tying these more vibrant tones in with earthier colours gives a more laid-back look that’s both warm and beautiful.
Your Mediterranean style kitchen wouldn’t be complete without those iconic patterns and artwork. Mosaics, isometric designs and floral features are all common – just make sure you pick one of these rather than mixing all three! Use these designs sparingly, as part of a focal feature in your kitchen – for example a mosaic splash back tile wall or floral wall feature.
The great thing about the Mediterranean colour palette is that it complements warm metallic shades, like copper, so well. Copper is a huge trend in the design world right now and is being used in industrial style design, modern Scandinavian design and rustic style. Opt for copper light shades, fittings and accessories for a subtle way to bring this trend into your kitchen.
Lighting is key to creating atmosphere. So if you want to re-create the mood of that laid-back villa in Sorrento, or that Greek Tavern you visited on your last holiday, you’ll want adjustable lighting that can be dimmed for meal times and brightened for food prep. Low hanging light designs also add to the feel and style of the Mediterranean and help to create this overall look.
Unlike our more modern kitchens that feature chrome, stainless steel and Corian, the Mediterranean kitchen is all about natural materials. Granite, wood, marble and tile can be used throughout the design – on the kitchen floor, worktops and for your splashback. Organic and earthy, your new Mediterranean kitchen will have that stunning old-world vibe.
Whether you’re swept away by the history and romance of a Mediterranean kitchen or you’re looking for something more modern and futuristic, the Kitchen Design Centre experts can help. Pop into one of our North West kitchen showrooms to speak to a designer and browse just some of our most popular designs.

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.
