Is your country-style kitchen turning blue? Country-style kitchen units with blue cabinet fronts and/or countertops exude a sense of freshness and spaciousness. With their soft color palette, light and medium blue country-style kitchens bridge the gap between cottage style and Scandi chic. Finishes in rich navy and midnight blue tones add elegant accents and lend the traditional country-style kitchen a touch of sophistication. We showcase different styles and share 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.
Blue, blue, blue—all my kitchens are blue… but which shade of blue goes best with the room—and how do the different shades look?
Blue is a cool color and often makes living spaces feel cooler. This is especially true for shades with a greenish tint, such as turquoise, sky blue, or petrol. Areas with strong sunlight can benefit from this, especially during the warmer months.
If you want to tone down the effect, opt for shades of blue with a hint of red, such as a rich indigo or a soft lavender blue. This is how you can create a cozy, warm atmosphere in rooms on the north side of the house, for example.
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.
