Alert! Red is the new hot colour for kitchens…
According to fashionistas and interior experts, red is the colour of the moment.
Bold and confident, passionate and fiery, red in all its guises can be upbeat and cheery, rich and decadent or warm and enveloping… All characteristics that you may well love to have incorporated into your kitchen space.
It’s true that red can be a little bit scary, but there are lots of ways to incorporate it within your kitchen interior design scheme so it’s striking and uplifting rather than demonic. Here are a few ideas…
Go for it with glossy red kitchen cabinets.
We spotted this vibrant and glossy red kitchen cabinetry on the Livingetc blog and it certainly packs a punch. The shine brings the large expanse of red to life and the contrasting white and metal elements break things up… super fun and pretty practical - even for a small space.
Add a pop of colour for vibrant kitchen style.
If you love the idea of adding a splash of red but don’t want to go bold with your kitchen cabinetry, how about incorporating a red splash back into your kitchen design? A fabulous focal point, easy to wipe down and a great way to bring some colour into your kitchen space. This primary red splash back is from the Alusplash collection.
Max out on red kitchen accessories.
If you already have a stylish but minimalist kitchen - and you want to brighten it up with something a little bolder, how about adding a selection of red accessories and furniture pieces? Adding red bar stools, a fabulous red American style fridge or some red storage jars or tableware could be the instant kitchen makeover you’ve been hankering after.
Opt for luscious wine coloured kitchen cabinets.
If you like your red a little less bold, then how about a stylish wine coloured kitchen? This beautiful beaujolais hued kitchen is both stylish and striking, but not so brash that it won’t stand the test of time.
Tailor your red to suit you.
There are so many potential red tones to choose from that if you like the idea, you should definitely be able find one which is entirely to your taste. At Blackbrook Kitchens, we can provide kitchen cabinetry in pretty much any shade of red you like (as well as every other colour)- and certainly any hue from the Farrow and Ball or Little Green paint collections. So whether you fancy a coral red, tomato red or deep aubergine for your kitchen cupboards, you only need to ask.
