The endless sky, the vastness of the sea, the blue hour: The colour blue evokes associations with nature, suggests freedom and space and creates a sense of well-being. A blue kitchen is one of the classics that can be combined in a variety of ways. Whether it's a rich midnight blue or delicate pastel shades - numerous companions harmonise perfectly with the colour blue. We reveal design tips and show you how to turn your blue kitchen into an eye-catcher.

The blue kitchen - a classic is on trend

Charming or elegant, luxurious or trendy and colourful - blue kitchens can be many things. The colour has been tried and tested for a long time and there are many reasons for this: 

 

  • Blue can be combined in a variety of ways and creates a different spatial effect in each case. Wood emphasises the natural touch of the colour, while metallic tones such as gold or copper add a touch of luxury to a modern blue kitchen. 

 

  • Blue calms, relaxes and can increase the feeling of well-being. 

 

The colour is suitable for varied furnishing preferences. A blue kitchen in a rustic country house style is just as popular as purist designs with matt kitchen fronts. 

About the effect of blue tones

The colour blue can radiate both cool restraint and warm cosiness. The decisive factor is the respective red and green components in the colour tone. A strong ultramarine, cobalt or indigo blue creates a cosy feeling, while turquoise, sky blue and ice blue suggest cool freshness. 

 

The colour effect can be used in a targeted manner: Light, cool shades of blue make small kitchens appear larger, while eat-in kitchens and open-plan concepts can cope well with intense shades of blue with red and violet tones

    From country house style to modern blue kitchens - an overview of designs

    The colour blue is suitable for a wide range of looks, from country house kitchens to exciting retro designs and minimalist classics. We present inspiring ideas for blue kitchens

     

    • A soft grey-blue lends a modern twist to a country house kitchen, radiating calm and elegance. Add matching decorations and accessories in off-white and cream to your blue kitchen, such as enamel crockery, rustic earthenware vases or home textiles made of coarse linen. 

     

    • Kitchens in Scandi chic thrive on their natural radiance. For the look, combine a bright, blue kitchen with wooden elements. A beech or maple worktop and matching splashback form a stylish liaison with light blue kitchen fronts. Also look out for furniture with clear lines.

     

    • Intense blue tones such as cobalt blue or a deep midnight blue are perfect for trendy matt fronts. This is how you create elegance and cosiness. A natural stone worktop emphasises the sophisticated effect: Dark variants such as slate and dark granite remain discreetly in the background with dark blue, while light-coloured marble creates strong contrasts. 

    Tip: With a dark worktop, opt for a discreet appliance integration. This creates an overall picture as if from a single mould. A sink in the same colour as the worktop and a hob recessed into the surface remain almost invisible.

      The perfect combination: Design tips with a wow effect

      Which worktop matches your blue kitchen? What effects do you achieve by combining blue with other colour tones and how does this influence the spatial effect? 

      • A blue kitchen is generally suitable for all room sizes - from a mini kitchen to an open-plan kitchen/living room. In small rooms, it is advisable to use light colours and combine them with white and cream - for example with a worktop made of light-coloured quartz composite polished to a shine.  

       

      • Alternatively, you can create skilful accents in small kitchens - for example, by designing part of the kitchen fronts in dark blue and combining them with light wood surfaces and worktops. 

       

      • Whether you have an XL kitchen or an open-plan kitchen, contrasts add a touch of drama to your cooking and dining area. These can be golden handles and fittings, accessories and wall decorations for a prussian blue kitchen

       

      • The complementary colours blue and orange make each other glow - perfect for dark rooms and a cheerful radiance

       

      • The combination of blue and white is a classic. Dark blue fronts with a white worktop create a fresh, maritime flair. 

        Who accompanies the blue kitchen? Tips for wall and floor paints

        Drama or restraint - the wall colour determines how your blue kitchen looks: 

        • Blue likes to go with blue . A soft blue colour on the wall combined with a dark blue front creates a harmonious overall look. Make sure to combine cool and warm tones with each other

         

        • Cream-coloured walls go perfectly with grey-blue country house kitchens. 

         

        • Walls in dark grey underline the elegant look of a petrol-coloured kitchen

         

        And the floor? Light wood harmonises with both a blue country-style kitchen and Scandi chic. Modern, cool blue kitchens are given a cosy touch by parquet and floorboards. Grey tiles stand for elegance, while a light concrete floor makes dark blue kitchens in particular stand out.
