If you’re a fan of blue, you’ll love Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2020. Pantone’s Colour of the Year influences a wide range of visual culture and industries around the world, including interior and kitchen design. The selection for this year’s colour is bold and very traditional — Classic Blue.
Classic Blue is a perfect colour to use in your dream kitchen, as it can help you to create a space that is peaceful, rich, and luxurious. Whether you like Classic Blue or are curious about how to incorporate a bold colour into your dream kitchen, here are a few ideas!
Classic Blue is a highly versatile colour — it’s available in a range of hues that can evoke the exact atmosphere dream of creating. You can easily incorporate a vibrant and bold blue in your dream kitchen by selecting luxurious coloured cabinets, or if you’d like you could soften it by selecting a lighter hue.
Don’t forget you don’t have to use the same colour on every single cabinet! An easy way to create depth and dimension in your space is to vary the colours and shades of your new cabinetry.
In our experience, blue coloured cabinets flawlessly complement other textures like wood, stone, and any type of metal fixtures. Our expert designers will work with you to ensure your exquisite blue cabinets perfectly complement your home!
Our designers will often recommend an accent or feature wall to help accentuate the chosen cabinets, fixtures, and as a way to add personality to the kitchen. A feature wall can give you the flexibility to change the appearance of your kitchen without needing to start over.
Feature walls can be changed as often as you like and will work with bold statement colours like Classic Blue, or any other colour you can imagine! We often recommend feature walls as a way to add colour and to keep the cabinets neutral as it makes them much more versatile.
Classic Blue works as an accent or feature wall because it can help create a soothing atmosphere in the kitchen. Blue is the perfect colour if you want a kitchen that’s inspired by the ocean, beach, or a sunny and luxurious resort. Plus, blue looks stunning when combined with lighter blues, greys, black, white, green, yellow, and even brown.
Accessorising your dream kitchen with classic blue curtains, chairs, or even artwork can be a great way to incorporate Pantone’s colour of the year. Choosing the right accessories can help create a cohesive aesthetic in your kitchen.
For example, if you like blue but want to recreate a colour palette reminiscent of the ocean, you can accentuate specific areas with neutrals, blue-green items, and complex textures. If you really like the ocean feel, but want to keep things in a more neutral colour scheme, you could choose a beige, white, and brown kitchen with rich blue accents.
Whether you prefer to use classic blue to make a bold statement or if your tastes lean towards the more subtle side, we can help you bring your dream kitchen to life!

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.
