Colours to warm up your kitchen this winter

 

Colours-to-warm-up-your-kitchen-this-winter

Whether you use tea towels, flowers or furnishings, keeping your kitchen on trend when it comes to seasonal colour schemes is great idea. Colour not only brings your kitchen in line with the landscape, it also has the power to create an atmosphere – from fresh, airy and bright with spring colours, to warm and cosy with winter colours.

The perfect palette

When it comes to thinking about colours, it sometimes pays to think outside the box. Thinking about things we readily associate with winter gives us plenty of inspiration, but it’s always a good idea to combine this with our own personal tastes and style.

Our top winter colour choices include:

  • Cranberry
  • Orange
  • Raspberry
  • Aubergine
  • Cherry
  • Cinnamon
  • Hazelnut
  • Plum
  • Mustard
  • Dark Chocolate
  • Damson

Soft, warm shades such as yellow, orange, cranberry, peach and pink have a cheerful personality and can be used to create the feel of a friendly, welcoming home. Alternatively, you could opt for red-carpet ready colours such as ruby, damson, or plum for a confident and more glamorous look. Hazelnut, mustard, and cinnamon are ideal for homeowners that want to add a subtle nod to winter with their interior design, but don’t want to go too over the top.

If you do choose a bold colour, such as damson or ruby red, don’t forget to tone them down a little with a more neutral colour, such as pale grey. This will ensure your room still remains light and airy, while featuring a warmer winter palette.

Embrace the season with accessories

While it may be too big a job to completely repaint and redesign your kitchen for the season, a few accessories and accents will be just as good at adding a touch of winter style to your home. Colour is also best introduced as an accent, in the form of a feature wall or in accessories.

Some easy ideas include:

  • Seasonal table runners, tablecloths and tea towels
  • Special crockery, used only in wintertime
  • Seasonal fruits and vegetables showcased in rustic crates or winter coloured bowls
  • A change of curtain or blind, to add an accent of seasonal colour
  • Seasonal table centerpieces
  • Bold appliances, for example a red kettle and set of red pots and pans. 

Add a touch of texture

Just like colour, texture is important too. Wood is a great winter texture and can be used for your kitchen floor, your work surfaces, or your kitchen table. Twigs and branches are another stylish option, and can be incorporated in a pretty winter table centerpiece. Other accessories, such as wooden crates, look great in a rustic, farmhouse style kitchen too.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER

As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.

With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
