11 Captivating Modular Kitchen Colour Combinations
Light up the heart of your home and your kitchen with mood-enhancing hues
Gone are the days when kitchens were colourless, ignored areas, functional and unadorned, a place to complete the chore of cooking – usually strictly by the women of the house. Today, it’s one of the most important spaces in a home, where cooking and socialising both take place. One way to make this space stand out is by exposing it to colour – be it through single solid hues or attractive combinations. Here are some colour applications that take the cook room to another level.
2. Black, white, grey and brown – what a attractive modular kitchen colour combination this is. The layering effect here is quite intriguing: ash-grey walls are paired with the jet-black upper cabinet, accompanied by a wooden backsplash and white lower cabinets.

3. A heavy dose of decadent glamour is injected through golden hues in this kitchen, with a glistening colour scheme that merges well with the white walls. It gives the space a stylish, showstopper quality, I’d love to cook in there – dressed in a gold evening gown, of course.

4. The kitchen showcases what can be done with a restrained palette: it is a uniform grey all across, but the sombreness of the hue is balanced with the pops of bright yellow on the counter and open shelves. The minimal use of accessories and the light storage on the shelves give further visual relief to the space.
5. Do you dare try this colour in your kitchen? I like how the bold red colour on the cabinets is mixed with wooden walls and flooring so that its starkness doesn’t get too loud.
6. This is quite an unusual modular kitchen colour combination. The bright pink cabinets are juxtaposed with the muted granite counter tops and brown flooring. The combination of neutrals with pink does not allow the supercharged hue to absolutely dominate the entire scheme. The walls and ceiling, washed in pale pink, soften the impact of the darker shade and tie it all together.

7. It’s like a slice of the sun – the multi-coloured patchwork carpet drenched in different shades of red and orange gives the space a cheerful quality. I also like how the stylish stools clash with the white counter top, and the clean, sleek pendants illuminate the scene.
8. This kitchen reminds me of olives … its colour scheme has a palatable quality. The tiny kitchen makes a strong statement with this deep hue, but is saved from being monotonous or claustrophobic by the neutral counter and backsplash, and the black-and-white flooring which adds depth to the design. The mixing of white is a good idea here, or the space would seem too oppressive.
9. What a wonderful example of colour blocking. The wooden picnic-style dining table and the flooring clash with the multi-coloured cabinets in pastel shades, transforming this room into a picturesque, playful place.
10. This kitchen goes the extra mile, with a painted section of lime yellow above a white-tiled backsplash. The half-yellow and half-white walls, combined the soft-toned cabinets below, create a dynamic, dramatic setting.
11. Look at the play of unexpected colours here, where each leaps out and takes a stand. Shades of teal, blue, white and brown come together for a clean, crisp feel that’s high on impact.
