Design A Dreamy Light Blue Kitchen With These Kitchen Cupboard Doors

Calming and quietly uplifting, light blue is a beautiful colour for a kitchen and offers a refreshing take on the more traditional heritage blue hues that never go out of style. If your kitchen would benefit from a colour refresh, here are a few ways to embrace light blue tones in your home.

Lean into coastal chic with light blue cabinets and marble worktops 

If a casual kitchen space is best suited to your lifestyle, coastal chic is an ideal design style to choose because it’s laid-back yet charming and full of character. Light blue is a go-to colour when creating a coastal kitchen, and it’s a great choice for your cabinetry because it will anchor the space, creating the perfect base for all the accessories you want to incorporate.

White marble worktops are beautifully versatile and pair perfectly with light blue kitchen cupboard doors when creating a space that feels refreshing and revitalising. To complete your coastal kitchen and bring some extra depth, accessorise with natural materials such as jute rugs and bamboo or rattan furniture in warm neutral tones.

Classic meets contemporary in our Bella range of kitchen doors 

Our Bella Richmond kitchen cupboard doors are ideally suited to the coastal style, as they feature subtle yet characterful panelling and delicately curved edges. 

Our Scandinavian blue colourway is light, bright and breezy, however our complete Bella range also comes in a selection of other beautiful blue hues to explore, including misty blue, duck egg, and denim. 

Use light blue as a neutral in a kitchen with deep, rich tones

While white tends to be a go-to neutral tone when working with deeper colours, using a very light blue colour instead can give your kitchen a little more interest and a unique point of view. Pairing light blue wall-mounted cabinets with base cabinets in a richer, darker blue will give a beautiful tonal look to the space, which can be lifted with white accents.

Pro Tip: Another option is to pair light blue wall cabinets with deep fir green or graphite base cabinets to create a space that feels elevated yet lived in. Again, white accents can be used to lift the space further and small pops of a rich red or orange can bring some extra contrast.

Give your kitchen a contemporary twist with chrome hardware 

While warm toned brass or copper hardware is often used to enhance the tradition and character of a room, choosing chrome handles for your light blue kitchen cupboard doors and drawers can help to bring a sense of modernity to your space. 

Our Windsor Shell handles have a very traditional form and are perfectly suited to our classic Bella Shaker doors. However, if you’re looking to embrace both traditional and modernity, simply choosing a chrome finish for your hardware will bring a contemporary crispness that will help to establish a sense of balance between traditional and modern styles.

Drench your kitchen in light blue 

As light blue is such a playful and uplifting shade, it’s a great one to choose if you want to drench your space in colour. From your choice of kitchen cupboard doors to your walls, ceilings and skirting boards, an all-over blue colour scheme can be used to seamlessly achieve a stylish country cottage style kitchen with a contemporary twist.

Pro Tip: Incorporating some contrast and depth is key when experimenting with colour drenching. A fun red and white chequered floor would make a wonderful addition to a blue kitchen, helping to ensure your space feels cosy and inviting without detracting from the airiness you’ve achieved by adding so many blue features.
