Blue kitchens

[whataconundrum]

Hi,

Planning to extend and build a new kitchen. I like the look of the midnight blue ones but would worry it would date quite a bit.

The space will be 6x4.5m with lots of natural light.

Does anyone have one and if so, would they recommend?

I’ve got a blue kitchen and have to say that I got bored of it within a few months. Next one is definitely going to be neutral.

we are doing our kitchen after Christmas and went for a peal blue kitchen as the dark blue is quite intimidating and I can imagine yes it would date quite quickly, its a bold choice and if you don't like it when its installed you have spent a lot of money on something that dosent look like the vision you had, when we were house hunting one house had a bold teal coloured kitchen looked fab on rightmove, when we viewed the house it was horrible just didn't look right at all

There's a lot of choice at the moment; our principle supplier has Steel Blue, Light Blue, Oxford Blue, Indigo Blue, Sky Blue and Turquoise.

Dark blues are very fashionable but I tend to restrict my designs to having dark colours on base units (or preferably islands) while having the remainder of the kitchen in a lighter, complementary colour.

I find that most kitchens aren't well suited to full dark furniture; it tends to make them oppressive.

Mine is Hague Blue - just had it done. I'm sure it will date, as would any colour, but I don't care as we have no intention of moving. I love it!

The walls are painted Strong White, and there's plenty of natural light.

We also have a white quartz worktop, with sparkly bits in it, which helps to keep it light.

It's not quite as dark as it looks in those photos

this is hague blue

Thanks all. Some beautiful kitchens there. Really liking the two tone to break up the colour a bit by keeping the dark colour on the bottom.
