Does your country house kitchen turn blue? Country-style kitchen units with blue fronts and/or worktops radiate freshness and space. With their soft colours, light and medium blue country kitchens bridge the gap between cottage style and Scandi chic. Finishes in strong navy and midnight blue colours set elegant accents and lend a sophisticated nuance to the traditional country house kitchen. We present different styles and reveal design tips.
Two tried-and-tested kitchen variants come together in a blue country house kitchen: The country house style with its typical panelled doors, natural materials and charming details creates a rustic, cosy look. Blue kitchens suggest expansiveness, tranquillity and lightness. Depending on the colour, they radiate elegance or a cool, Nordic touch. How does that fit together?
In short: excellent. Blue country kitchens combine cosiness with laissez-faire, elegance with rustic details. And last but not least, they present themselves as timeless classics: The colour blue is a perennial favourite for kitchen units, and the country house style has long been proven and sought-after.
All my kitchens are blue, blue, blue ... but which shade of blue harmonises particularly well with the room - and what effect do the different shades have?
Blue is a cold colour and often makes living areas appear cooler. This applies in particular to shades with a greenish tinge such as turquoise and sky blue or petrol. Areas with strong sunlight can benefit from this, especially in the warm season.
If you want to soften the effect, opt for blue tones with a red component, such as a strong indigo or a delicate lavender blue. For example, you can create a cosy, warm atmosphere in rooms on the north side of the house.
All blue or with stylish companions - a blue country house kitchen can be fitted tone on tone, i.e. the colours of the worktop and splashbacks match those of the kitchen units exactly, in different shades of blue or with harmonious contrasts.

The country house style is characterised by charming kitchen accessories made from materials such as enamel, clay, stone, wood and metal.

Tip: Elements such as the kitchen appliances also play a role in creating a harmonious whole. Variants that remain discreetly in the background create space for your country house rooms - such as the integrated cooktop extractor systems from BORA.
