Colours of the Month: Warming Hues for Oak Kitchens

Posted by admin on November 16, 2016 at 12:05 pm. Filed under: General

The nights are drawing in and it is time to wrap up warm and prepare ourselves for winter. If you are currently in the midst of a kitchen redesign, now is the perfect time of year to be considering warm and homely shades for new oak kitchens.

This November, we have picked a cosy colour palette for our ‘Colours of the Month’: a range of comforting shades that are sure to keep your kitchen toasty and bright throughout the winter months.

Charlotte's Locks - a fiery orange tone that's perfect for accents in oak kitchens.
Babouche is an exotic yellow hue that is dignified, but never garish.
Radicchio is a magenta hue with a bright and modern feel - ideal for kitchen cabinet frontals.

Charlotte’s Locks is a colour named after the auburn hair of Farrow & Ball’s Head of Creative. This deep orange hue may not be the most suitable shade for painting an entire wall in, but it is a beautiful accent colour that looks superb on doors, solid oak kitchen cornices & pelmets and other frontal accessories. It can be paired alongside Strong White or All White as a bright feature colour, or as an accent to a variety of blues and greys.

Babouche is a saturated yellow with red undertones that is inspired by the colourful Moroccan shoes of the same name, and is a light enough shade to work as a cosy feature wall alongside either creams and whites or deep blues such as Drawing Room Blue.

The last of our ‘Colours of the Month’ is Radicchio – a warm magenta that takes its name from the deep red leaves of Italian chicory. It is a perfect colour for painting oak kitchen cabinet doors in a wooden kitchen, and looks particularly elegant alongside lighter timber surfaces such as our maple worktops.

If you’d like to bring a little warmth to your new kitchen but are undecided on the colour, why not order one of our painted cabinet door samples? These samples can be hand finished in any of Farrow & Ball’s colours; better still, the cost will be refunded if you go on to place an order that includes ten or more of our cabinet frontals.
