The right colour combinations can help create a warm and inviting space in which the family can hang out, in particular for open-plan layouts and eat-in kitchens. From pastels to vibrant hues, take a look at these eye-catching colour combinations that make the kitchen come alive.
Creamy yellow and brown
This kitchen radiates warmth, with lots of natural light and shades of creamy yellow and light brown in the cabinetry. Wooden ceiling beams maintain the continuity of colour and add depth to the scheme.

White and yellow
The heavy dose of white in this kitchen is broken aesthetically by a welcoming canary-yellow wall in the ingenious seating area. Smooth white surfaces flow from cabinet shutters to splashbacks to create a fuss-free look.

Blue, yellow, mauve and green
Colour blocking with multi-hued cabinets in pastel shades gives a fun dimension to this kitchen. Complemented with a wooden picnic-style dining table, this subtle colour combination of blue, yellow, mauve and green spells ‘welcome to the kitchen’.

Pastel blue and grey
What a classic and timeless combination! Most of the cabinetry is done in blue, while grey and white are used on the wall and ceiling respectively, with both colours featuring in the crown moulding to create connectivity. The patterned floor tiles form a neutral base to bring out the beautiful colour combination.

Red and brown
The bold red accent wall in this kitchen is counterbalanced with dark-brown cabinetry and a black kitchen island. Though it would seem rather loud in a closed kitchen, the stark colour combination works well in this open-plan design. Love the pops of red in the chairs and pouffes in the seating area.

Bistro red and white
Who says colour combinations are just about walls and cabinetry. Terracotta floor tiles with motifs add visual interest interest and contrast with the plain white cabinets. The backsplash introduces small doses of colour, too.

Grey, orange and white
Grey, white and sunshine orange make this kitchen a happy place. Not only on the kitchen island but in the shelf niches too, orange commands attention. While white brings a sense of seamless flow and uniformity to the walls and ceilings, the grey floors and countertop accentuate the energising vibe of this colour-combo further.

Green and white
Green injects a burst of freshness and makes a strong statement in this predominantly white kitchen. The invigorating hue is used in the cabinetry at the top and bottom to tie the colour scheme together. Crisp and fresh!

Turquoise, brick-red and white
While the central colour theme of this kitchen is white, there is plenty of drama happening around. The turquoise window effortlessly blends with the vintage brick wall – and the Moroccan-inspired tiles add more colour and give this kitchen loads of personality.

Black, white and beige
Glossy black, combined with soft beige and white, creates a dynamic combination in this kitchen. Plenty of lights and the reflective surfaces of the black cabinetry and wall brighten up the ambience, so it doesn’t get dark and gloomy.

Even with dominant use of warm beige across the kitchen, the vibrant orange table and and green chairs steal the show. The backsplash tiles are another clever addition of hues.

Blue, white and dark brown
In this kitchen, the glossy bluish-grey cabinetry offsets the dark woody browns on the ceiling and walls. Using white on the backsplash and countertop provides neutral relief and brightens the interiors.

Red and brown
While most of this kitchen dons a woody brown, the red-framed window features a valance in a matching lustrous red. A nice way to bring in a pop of colour and remove or replace it when you want a change.

Grey, black, white and more
Here’s an interesting merge of black, white and grey stripes on the wall, with contrasting checks on the countertop. The cabinets feature shades of white and grey, and there’s a bit of metal bling on the splashback.
