In a blue country-style kitchen, two tried-and-true kitchen styles come together: With its characteristic panel doors, natural materials, and charming details, the country style creates a rustic, cozy look. Blue kitchens evoke a sense of spaciousness, calm, and lightness. Depending on the shade, they exude elegance or a cool, Nordic vibe. How does that fit together?
In short: excellent. Blue country-style kitchens combine coziness with a laid-back vibe, elegance with rustic details. And, not least, they present themselves as timeless classics: The color blue is a perennial favorite for kitchen cabinets, and the country style has long been a proven and sought-after choice.
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 in blue or paired with stylish accents—a blue country-style kitchen can be designed in a tone-on-tone scheme, meaning the colors of the countertop and backsplashes match exactly those of the kitchen cabinets, in various shades of blue or with harmonious contrasts.
