Blue tops the list for a lot of people when it comes to choice colours for their designer kitchen. It’s no surprise given that blue is a famously versatile shade, one that works well in pretty much any kitchen setting, whether that be traditional or contemporary.
Its calming aura makes it an an especially great backdrop for busy kitchen spaces, and here at Kitchen Design Centre, we can craft the perfect kitchen for you in any shade of blue that you desire. Whether it’s navy, cobalt, turquoise or sky blue, we’re here to help you realise your kitchen dreams in any way we can.
So, what is it about blue kitchens specifically that’s captured the hearts and minds of the UK population so effectively?
Generally speaking, white is a timeless kitchen colour that you really can’t go wrong with. It’s the perfect blank canvas from which to build any kind of kitchen design you like, and it looks incredible alongside blue. Whether you want to mix and match your kitchen units, or you just fancy juxtaposing a colour with another (for example, by placing white worktops over blue kitchen cupboards), then white and blue is a colour combination that you won’t be disappointed by.
Shaker style kitchens can dramatically benefit from a splash of blue here and there. When painted using deep, dark colours like navy, you can really add an air of sophistication and gravitas to your space. It’s a bold choice, and works equally well as an accent wall to anchor the rest of your design scheme. Suave and sophisticated, if you’re looking for a statement piece, look no further than a shaker kitchen with dark blue features.
Metallic elements in kitchens work in a similar way to jewellery. Small, subtle additions can really catch the eye, and bring a sense of maturity and class to the wearer. Kitchens benefit in a similar way. By implementing gold and brass handles, you can really make the blue elements of your kitchen pop. Metal on blue is a truly delightful combination, which only serves to further add to the sophistication of your kitchen setting.
When analysing the colour wheel, blue is largely considered one of the cooler, colder tones. So, to avoid overpowering your kitchen with chilly undertones, it’s a good idea to incorporate some warmer elements into the aesthetic. A good way to do this is by adding some wooden fixtures, to elevate the tone and mood of the room. By using wood, you introduce hints of yellow and red to the visual spectrum of your space, without overpowering the strong blue colours.
All told, blue is a fantastic colour for kitchens. Lighter blues work best in smaller kitchens, while dark blues will look dramatic in larger kitchens without compromising on the feeling of space. If you’re considering a blue kitchen, we’re passionate about helping you get the kitchen of your dreams here at Kitchen Design Centre. You can see for yourself the ways we’ve used blue hues to create beautiful customer kitchens in our case studies titled: “a quirky social space quite unlike any other” as well as “timeless design meets practical family living in Urmston”.

A KITCHEN AND LIVING SPACE REIMAGINED FOR A RIBBLE VALLEY HOME
Paulo and Debbie first discovered Kitchen Design Centre back in 2013 when they created their dream kitchen—and they loved it so much that, years later, they returned once more.
This time, it was for a brand-new kitchen, utility room, games room and garage storage area as part of a major renovation to their family home.
Inspired by a stunning display in the Barrowford showroom, Paulo and Debbie teamed up with Barrowford Showroom Manager, Simon Thomas. With over 25 years of experience, Simon was the perfect person to take on their new brief—one that pushed boundaries and called for creativity in a limited space.
Debbie, inspired by Pinterest, envisioned a kitchen with rich walnut tones. Simon brought this to life with a sophisticated, contemporary design that cleverly created the feeling of a large island in a narrow room, proving that great design isn’t about space—it’s about smart solutions. He did this by linking the island to one wall to create the perfect cooking centre with all the focus in to the room.
“Simon was incredible. We loved the kitchen so much that we asked him to turn his attention to the majority of our downstairs. The whole area now has real wow factor—and it’s incredibly practical too. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

A SLEEK, HIGH-END CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN FOR A MANCHESTER HOME
When renovating their Worsley home, Kim and Paul knew exactly who to trust with their dream kitchen — Kitchen Design Centre.
A Sleek, High-End Contemporary Kitchen for a Manchester Home
Having worked with them four years ago in their previous home, they were so thrilled with the result that choosing them again was an easy decision.
Visiting the Urmston showroom, they were immediately inspired by the stunning displays and enlisted designer Rowan Chick to create a sleek yet functional space. They envisioned a monochrome palette to complement the ultra-modern aesthetic of their new home — a striking contrast to their previous more traditional navy and taupe kitchen.
