The Top Colour Trends for Your Kitchen in 2022 (And How to Use Them)

Introducing colour into the kitchen is a sure-fire way of adding personality and character and taking a look at the shades that are trending will ensure the space is modern and on point.

So, what colours will be popular in kitchen design in 2022? According to the design team at Drew Forsyth & Co, the hottest palettes will include:

Smokey blue colourways create a classic, calming kitchen, adding character without being too imposing. Blue’s soothing tones and general softness mirror nature’s finest natural assets – with oceanic hues and summer sky shades bringing a sense of tranquillity to the kitchen.

Green is staking a claim to the trendiest kitchen colour for 2022, with Instagram awash with nature-inspired green spaces. This is a shade that embodies renewal, rejuvenation, and energy, so it isn’t surprising that homeowners can’t get enough of it right now.

Bold and brave colour schemes are winning out. With the shift towards maximalism in interior design, the kitchen is no exception. Although it has a way to go before it can be described as anti-minimalist, adding colour for a sense of drama is being embraced. If you’re still keen to play it safe, consider a two-tone effect, with a bold colour balanced out with a neutral shade to prevent the overwhelm.

Blend colours in small spaces. Choosing the same colour for the walls and furniture can make a compact room look bigger. Simply add a contrasting splashback, worktop or accessories for personality.

Kitchen islands in a stand-out colour make the room pop. Elevating a neutral décor, the bold shade can be repeated with accessories to tie the whole look together.
