Colours of the Month: Brighten Oak Kitchens Ready for Easter
Days are getting longer and brighter, the flowers are starting to arise from their wintery cover, and life is re-emerging to welcome in spring; what better time could there be to bring some extra colour to your kitchen?
In the second of our Farrow & Ball colour combination blogs, we are looking at a palette of colours that would look fabulous alongside natural wooden kitchen worktops and solid wood kitchen cabinets in oak kitchens.
The bright tones of Farrow’s Cream, smouldering richness of Red Earth and fabulous vivid blue shade of Lulworth Blue are all fantastic choices to feature as the primary colour in your new or refurbished kitchen. Consider pairing Farrow’s Cream or Lulworth Blue with one of our luxurious dark wooden worktops such as walnut or iroko, whilst the deep tones of Red Earth will look superb alongside a bright worktop option such as maple, Prime Oak or bamboo.
Farrow’s Cream was our ‘Colour of the Month’ in December 2014; a creamy yellow that features alongside light blues, greys, whites and other hues in our ‘Pastels’ collection, whilst Red Earth is a deep terracotta red that we highlighted back in August 2013 and sits at the heart of our ‘Strong Accents’ range of bold kitchen colours.
Lastly, Lulworth Blue – one of our bespoke colour options – is a ‘baby’ blue with a faint tincture of grey that shows through in lower lighting. It is described by Farrow & Ball as a mid-tone Regency blue, and we think it’s the perfect companion for light oak worktops in a classic or farmhouse kitchen setting.
If you would like to see samples of any of these colours for yourself, then why not order one of our miniature painted cabinet door kitchen samples? Each is a perfect replica of one of our full-size cabinet frontals, and can be supplied in any Farrow & Ball shade you might desire – whether it features in our existing colour collections, or is a bespoke colour of your own choice. Alternatively, visit one of our kitchen showrooms to discuss all the options available, and to see a variety of painted kitchens alongside our entire range of cabinet door samples.
