Here at Kitchen Design Centre, we have a beautiful range of expertly crafted kitchens, including a beautiful collection of homely painted kitchens.
Painted kitchens are a stylish choice for any home, but particularly for customers who are seeking a warm and rustic feel. Our painted kitchens add a touch of colour – sometimes a very bold one! – to a room while highlighting, rather than eclipsing, the wonderful craftsmanship that is the hallmark of our traditional and classic kitchens.
If you’re considering a painted kitchen, there are a number of things you need to bear in mind.
Firstly, are you looking for a neutral finish or are you ready to go bold? A neutral painted kitchen can bring a warm, harmonious feel to a room and will tie in easily with natural textures. Think warm cream, gentle nutmeg, pebble grey and moss green – while they’re not as breathtakingly bold as vibrant shades, these colours are easy to match with one another and won’t overwhelm the senses.
Vibrant colours such as daring scarlet, rich midnight blue or zingy apple green, can give an otherwise neutral space a real lift. Bright and vivid colours aren’t for the faint-hearted but as long as you’re careful to choose a shade that you can live with – and one that isn’t inspired by a passing fad – this could be the perfect way to create a traditional kitchen with a modern twist.
And remember, it’s not just the colour of your cabinetry you have to pick – you’ll need to decide on your accessories, kitchen appliances, walls, floor and work-top finish too.
Browsing too many colour samples can do funny things to the mind! Sometimes, too much choice can blind you to what’s a good idea and what isn’t, which is why our expert kitchen designers are on-hand to advise on you on the kinds of colours and textures that will work well together – and those that won’t!
If you’re considering investing in a painted kitchen but you’re not sure which colours to opt for, there are a couple of things – besides personal taste! – that should help to inform your decision:
Colours and textures can have a big effect on how big a kitchen feels. As a general rule, dark colours and rough textures make a room feel smaller, while light colours and high gloss, smooth finishes reflect light and open up the space.
So, if you’ve got a large airy kitchen that you’d like to feel a bit cosier in, why not opt for a deeper colour on your cabinetry and a beautifully textured work surface. On the other hand, if you’re dealing with limited space or low ceilings, high gloss cupboard fronts and sleek Corian worktops could be just the thing.
The amount – and the type – of natural light in a room has a huge impact on the way we perceive colours. If your kitchen doesn’t get a lot of natural light, it may be best to avoid rich, deep tones as these will close off a dim room and make it feel oppressive. However, if your kitchen is blessed with a lot of natural light – or bright LED lighting, for example, you may be able to get away with a bolder punch of colour.
Light temperature also comes to bear – if the light in your kitchen is generally cool, consider countering this with warm shades: anything from a creamy off-white to a vibrant shade of red. On the other hand, if your room often catches the sun, it may serve you well to opt for a cooler shade. Always think about balance.

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.
