For a kitchen that looks like it’s straight out of a magazine, consider using pastel colours. These muted hues can give traditional or modern spaces a refreshed look without being too overwhelming.

Playful but calming spaces are pretty popular right now, and there are a few key elements that can help you nail the look. Here’s how to get the picture-perfect pastel kitchen of your dreams.

Go subtle in your kitchen, then go bold.

For the ultimate pastel space, start with light-coloured cabinets and walls. From there, you can either keep everything else fairly neutral — think white worktops and appliances — or go bold with bright colours and patterns. If you feel too much colour is not for you, try pops of colour instead in backsplashes, light features or accent pieces.

Match pastel with gold for a luxe look.

Pair pastels with metallics for a look that is both modern and elegant. Gold accents will give your kitchen a decadent feel while keeping the overall space light and airy. You can also try adding gold pendant lights or a rose-gold Quooker tap to really make the space pop.

Try a pastel and black palette for a trendy kitchen.

If you want a trendy yet chic kitchen, try pairing pastels with black or anthracite. This look is runway-inspired and can easily be achieved with dark cabinets or appliances. Also, consider using black accents like light fixtures or accessories for a more subtle take on this trend.

Incorporate wooden accents if you want a coastal kitchen

If you’re going for a beachy, laid-back look, incorporate some wooden accents into your space. For example, try using natural wood tones on your cabinets or island. You can also add a stripy rug for a nautical feel and to bring the outdoors in.

Go for a two-tone look in your kitchen.

You can colour contrast pastel with another pastel colour, white, or light wood by using one colour for the top cabinets and a different one for the base cabinets. Alternatively, you can opt for one colour on your top and bottom cabinets and another on your island.

Choose a colour that matches your personal style.

Blue is a timeless pastel to use if you want to play it safe, and it’s also perfect for classic kitchens. Meanwhile, green and pink are popular now and can add a touch of fun and playfulness to your space. And if you’re feeling particularly bold, try a bright yellow or orange.
