5 calm kitchen colours to create a wonderfully tranquil space

Colours have a unique ability to influence how we feel, which is why calming colours will be one of the biggest kitchen design trends of 2021.

With all of us spending more time in the house than ever before, our homes must embody how we wish to feel.

These days, we want to feel calm and peaceful in our homes, so it comes as no surprise that those planning to reinvent their homes in 2021 will be using calming colours to do so.

Fashioning a space that fuels your relaxation couldn’t be easier with our array of soothing hues. Here are some calming colour ideas for your home.

1 - Gentle Blue

Solva Coastal Mist

Blue has become one of the most beloved colours in kitchen design, making it an easy way to introduce calming shades into your home.

Reminiscent of the seaside and sky,  Coastal Mist is a no-brainer if you’re searching for a serene and tranquil kitchen.

Light blue kitchens look fantastic when paired with endlessly popular grey kitchens. Introduce this restful hue into a grey kitchen to temper the grey without overpowering it.

2  - Soothing Lilac

Make a graceful statement with lilac accents and focal points, such as a Wisteria kitchen island, or use Wisteria throughout your kitchen to fashion a whimsical yet relaxing kitchen.
