Over time cupboards gradually started to take\u00a0on darker tones until grey became king of the kitchen colours, and it&#8217;s easy to see why; it can be subtle and soft, have an industrial feel or create a wonderfully atmospheric space. In fact, its endless hues allow the colour to easily adapt to the current trend climate suggesting its reign is far from over. Recently however, there&#8217;s been a reemergence of colour in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17427 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Victoria-Road-Kitchen-1200x1798.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria-Road-Kitchen\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Victoria-Road-Kitchen.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Victoria-Road-Kitchen-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Victoria-Road-Kitchen-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Victoria-Road-Kitchen-768x1151.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen?img=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Victoria-Road-Kitchen-1200x1798.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen&text=Colour in the kitchen\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen&media=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Victoria-Road-Kitchen-1200x1798.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em>Pantry Blue cupboards and brass hardware, a delightful combination in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/kitchens\/shaker-kitchen\/victoria-road-nw6-kitchen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Victoria Road Kitchen<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the past few years we&#8217;ve seen lots of beautiful dark greens and blues on the pages of our favourite interiors magazines, our Pantry Blue paint colour continues to top our customers&#8217; wish list and everyone went a bit crazy over the enchanting deep green of our Peckham Rye Kitchen.\u00a0Whether it&#8217;s softer, moody Georgian-style tones or rich, opulent colours reminiscent of the Victorian era, there&#8217;s been a real buzz around introducing, or maybe I should say bringing back, something a little less\u00a0neutral to the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17429 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO-1200x1798.jpg\" alt=\"Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO-768x1151.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen?img=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO-1200x1798.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen&text=Colour in the kitchen\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen&media=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peckham-Rye-Kitchen-by-deVO-1200x1798.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/kitchens\/classic-bespoke-kitchen\/peckham-rye-kitchen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Peckham Rye Kitchen<\/a> with deep green Classic English cupboards and bold Arabescato marble.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An authentic look is such a wonderful thing to achieve, especially with traditional cabinetry.\u00a0It&#8217;s not about looking dated or stuck in the past, it&#8217;s about creating\u00a0that timeless look that works with the style\u00a0of the property.

I love the new Upminster Kitchen painted in this beautiful bespoke colour somewhere between green and blue. It feels bold and playful yet somehow refined and grown up. There are no half measures here, with matching walls and cabinets, but you don&#8217;t feel overwhelmed by the colour, it&#8217;s just enough to create a very special atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17426 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL.jpg\" alt=\"Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL-768x1151.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen?img=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen&text=Colour in the kitchen\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/colour-in-the-kitchen&media=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Upminster-Kitchen-by-deVOL.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em>A bank of bespoke cupboards\u00a0paired with\u00a0an antique\u00a0wooden\u00a0table in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/kitchens\/shaker-kitchen\/upminster-kitchen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Upminster Kitchen.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With so many wonderful examples of colourful interiors, people seem to be getting a lot braver with their choices.\u00a0We thought the pink, green and blue combination\u00a0in our new London showroom may shock a few people, but we soon learned that lots of our customers were thinking about similar colour schemes. Dusky plaster pink was a popular colour towards the end of the Georgian era, but mixed with our Emerald Green London Tiles and Clerkenwell Blue cupboards, the style feels a little more eclectic and fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our beautifully wonky\u00a0handmade pendants and the rare vintage treasures dotted around the room all add to this look. It&#8217;s a little more &#8216;eccentric English&#8217; rather than cool and moody, but it&#8217;s no less full of charm and character. If you are ever around the Clerkenwell area, please do come and have a wander around.
