Modular kitchens were once considered a novelty, say a decade ago, but have now evolved to be a standard amenity in homes. You may have spotted several old homeowners renovating their kitchens, eliminating the old open shelves that looked perpetually cluttered to sleek, shinier modular kitchens that didn't just conceal, but also added to the overall aesthetic of the home. Whether you're renovating your old kitchen, or are looking to get interiors done at a new place, here are 13 latest modular kitchen colour combinations to check out.
13 Latest Modular Kitchen Colour Combinations To Check Out
Grey and White
White is often an afterthought and almost a no-no for several folks when it comes to the kitchen, owing to all the spices and Haldi used generously. However, a white and grey combination is excellent for a dry kitchen or an open concept kitchen. You could always mitigate the risk of spillage with removable contact paper on the working surfaces and backsplashes with little investment. Grey offsets the white beautifully creating a cohesive environment in your kitchen.
Blue and Grey
Blue brings in a sense of calm to your surroundings, so we'd suggest using it in your kitchen if you have frazzled, busy mornings before heading out to work. Grey complements navy blue and other darker shades creating an elegant kitchen set up. Use stainless steel accent pieces and cupboard handles to bring the look together.
Black and Brown
Some of the most standard colours usually seen in Indian homes, use black and brown as your preferred colour combination if you prefer classic designs that are muted. Both colours don't stain easily, making them the preferred choice for working surfaces. Use a lighter shade of brown Decolam sheet to keep the environment feeling light and complete the look with metal accents.
Pastel Yellow and Brown
Brown is a basic colour like black and white that goes well with most other colours when used intelligently. Use pastel shades of bright colours like yellow to go with your brown backsplashes or working surfaces. The shades are sure to make your kitchen stand out, while still being easy on the eyes.
Navy Blue and White
Darker colours work especially well in Indian kitchens irrespective of the design. If a lighter blue isn't suitable for your usage, choose a darker shade. Navy blue is a standard shade that works across designs and accents, and complements white well. Add in a marble tiled backsplash for a change of design from the routine solid colours while still keeping it classic.
Beige and Brown
Use brown cabinets and use a shinier finish on your wooden panels or Decolam sheets to add a sheen to the muted tone. You could use the dark shade in tandem with a lighter one like beige if you like muted, classic colours. Appliances in neutral colours work well in this setting. Add a tiled backsplash, and you won't have to bother about spillages since they can be cleaned up easily.
Sage Green and White
The advantage with picking uplifting colours like sage green and white is that they're extremely versatile. If you're someone who likes to change things around at home often, and do the same with the kitchen, you can use brown and black accents including shelves and other appliances that go well in your kitchen. It's also great if you like growing plants, they fit right into your own garden-inspired modular kitchen.
Brown and Grey
While it can seem like a dull combo, use grey on your appliances and shiny surfaces like working surfaces and accent pieces to make the kitchen space look elegant yet not noisy. This combination is also great if you have appliances or kitchen decor in various colours, since they pop against the simple background.
Black and Gold
Looking to revamp your existing kitchen with minimal investment? Consider switching out the steel and metal accents to gold. Gold has the ability to make any combination look excellent, elevating the existing design immediately. We recommend using it with black since the combination pops; it goes well with white too. Make sure to limit its use to cupboards and marble accents.
Orange and Brown
A vibrant and popping colour like orange needs a more muted shade to balance it out, so you're not overstimulated when you enter the kitchen. If you use orange on your walls, use light brown on the cupboards, and vice versa. You can add black working surfaces and simple metal accents to complete your vibrant modular kitchen.
Black and White
Pick black and white as your primary colours if too many accents and colours feel noisy. The colour palette is a sure-shot way to make your modular kitchen feel done-up since you can add so many textures and designs. Add marble tiles for backsplashes and add tiny accents in a complementing colour like push-to-open cupboards to complete your minimal yet done up kitchen.
Forest Green and Grey
Both dark and extremely sophisticated colours, choose the colour palette if you'd like to create a deep forest vibe in your kitchen. You could add splashes of colour seasonally, add in some blooming plants to add a pop of colour. We recommend not going overboard with the green and use metal accents for the modular kitchen.
Red and Grey
Red is considered one of the most auspicious colours for an Indian kitchen as per Vastu, and hence, you may have spotted it in several kitchens. If the bright shade puts you off, choose red in a more darker tone, veering towards burgundy or magenta used in combination with grey to offset the brightness. You can use black, metal or gold accents interchangeably to complete your Vastu compliant modular kitchen.
