Beautiful yellow kitchen ideas
Warmth, summer sunshine, daffodils and sunflowers… yellow is the colour most associated with happiness and, since the kitchen is where life happens, a little yellow joy can make a big difference. You can use yellows as the main colour for your cabinets, or bring in golds, honeys and ochres as accents. Here are some ideas to inspire you…
Yellow kitchen cabinets
Cabinets painted in a strong yellow create a bold, striking look. These Ladbroke style cabinet doors are frameless and handleless: a perfect canvas for the stunning Swallowtail yellow from the Naked Kitchens colour palette.
Yellow and blue kitchens
Yellow and blue are complementary colours, sitting directly opposite each other on the colour wheel. That means they make for a perfect pair in a kitchen colour scheme. Cabinets painted in yellow and almost any shade of blue will bring out the best in each other - as demonstrated in the Pelham Kitchen.
Yellow and gold kitchen accents
Yellow works brilliantly as an accent colour in a kitchen, particularly one based on blues or greys. Tiles, accessories, crockery and artworks are all great ways to introduce gold and yellow notes - or in the case of the stunning splashback in the Hampton kitchen, gorgeous hues of copper, brass and bronze.
Honey coloured wood kitchens
Cabinets in light-coloured timbers such as the brushed limed-grain oak of the Glaven kitchen can bring in natural yellow notes to a kitchen, especially when lit with warm, buttery lighting from hanging pendants.
