This is how the color blue works
Blue has a calming and clear effect and adds depth to a room, which is perceived differently depending on the brightness: sometimes particularly bright and fresh, sometimes nautical, sometimes very elegant.
Light blue shades are especially suitable for small kitchens. They make them appear friendly and airy, while darker shades of blue, such as navy, bring more drama and luxury to the kitchen.
Combining Colors and Materials Correctly
There are several ways to combine colors and materials with blue.
White & Cream
Ideal for a nautical-themed kitchen is the combination of blue with white & cream. White fronts, tiles, and walls create a clear contrast and enhance the light effect of the color.
Wood & Natural Materials
To prevent blue tones from appearing too cold, simply combine them with wood and other natural materials. Light wood tones like oak, for example as shelves, cutting boards, or countertops, bring warmth to a blue kitchen and give it a Scandinavian-style shine.
Anthracite & Black
Blue looks especially modern in the kitchen when paired with dark colors like anthracite and black. An example of striking contrasts: The Siemens dishwasher with emotionLight. Blue LED light inside switches on automatically when the door is opened and off again when it's closed. There's no better way to showcase freshly washed dishes!
Stainless Steel & Chrome
Combine two trends and pair blue with gleaming materials like stainless steel and chrome. Chrome-plated kitchen faucets, such as the popular Quooker faucet, make the color shine even brighter.
Gold & Brass
An elegant blue kitchen can easily be enhanced with touches of gold, brass, and metallic accents. Combine metallic light fixtures, such as the Berbel Skyline Frame extractor hood with LED light, gold handles, or brass fittings for added elegance.
