Evoking a sense of heritage and elegance, deep navy blue is a colour with real presence which can infuse a room with a feeling of grandeur and sophistication but in a way that also feels perfectly suited to modern life. 

If you’ve been looking for the perfect colour to bring richness and personality to your kitchen without completely overpowering your space, here are a few reasons why we think you should consider adding navy blue to your chosen colour palette.

Why Deep Blue Kitchen Unit Doors Are a Stylish Choice for Modern Kitchens

Character meets contemporary with navy blue shaker style cabinetry

Navy blue can shine in a kitchen, giving the space a sense of character that feels both contemporary and timeless. It’s a particularly great colour choice for shaker style kitchen unit doors, which also strike the ideal balance between traditional and modern. 

Our Bella Shaker doors are beautifully versatile and come in a selection of rich blues, including matt indigo blue, supermatt colonial blue, and supermatt misty blue. Our range of accessories allow you to further personlise your cabinets, with our selection of door handles coming in a variety of finishes including brushed copper, chrome and satin brass.

Pro Tip: To keep your kitchen feeling bright and fresh, use plenty of light neutral tones throughout your space. Or to lean into the heritage feel, you can experiment with a selection of other characterful tones, including sage green warm browns.

Play with complementary colours for a fresh look 

Many different colours pair beautifully with deep blue, and if you want to experiment with complementary colour palettes, a pale or dusky pink is worth considering. Not only will a light pink tone allow you to experiment with the interplay between light and dark tones, but choosing a warm shade will also balance the cool blues to create a space that feels softer and supremely inviting.

Pro Tip: Many of our kitchen unit doors are also available in a selection of gentle pink tones. So, if you want to incorporate different coloured cabinetry in your kitchen, our supermatt blush pink finish pairs beautifully with a number of the blue tones in our collection. 

Immerse yourself in blue hues 

If you just can’t get enough of blue, the great news is that deep blue tones can be layered with other blue hues to create a chic and sophisticated colour drenched look. Indigo and navy blues have enough depth to provide strong foundations for a design scheme, while mid-toned and lighter blues can bring an extra dimension to a room. 

Colour drenching remains a popular interior design trend and can even make your room feel more spacious, as there is less contrast between each colour to capture the eye’s attention. Many of our doors are available in a light Scandinavian blue finish, which has an airiness about it that will bring a sense of brightness to your kitchen, and the best part is that it pairs perfectly with navy and indigo hues.

Use blue cabinetry to ground a nature inspired kitchen 

Kitchens that feature lots of natural materials and colours that you’ll find within nature have a beautifully grounding and peaceful atmosphere that offers a sense of respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life. 

Blue kitchen unit doors can keep your nature inspired kitchen grounded, acting as a rich base for other colours you want to include in your space, whether that’s greens and ochres, rust tones and wood finishes, or anything in between. Keep your colours muted for a moodier atmosphere or incorporate flashes of lighter tones to create a sense of balance and equilibrium.
