When you’re investing in a kitchen renovation project, making choices that will stand the test of time will ensure that you’re able to get the most value from your time, effort and budget. While trending colours come and go with the seasons, there are a handful of hues that have timeless appeal and are great options to consider for your kitchen unit doors.

Timeless Kitchen Unit Door Colours That Always Look Stylish
Cream
Soft and bright without the harshness that a crisp white shade can sometimes bring, cream is a colour that can work wonderfully in kitchens of all shapes and sizes. It’s particularly well-suited to kitchens with traditional elements or if you’re keen to experiment with two-toned cabinetry for added interest. For example, you could choose a cream finish for your wall cabinets and incorporate a splash of sage green or dusky pink throughout your base cabinets.
Pro Tip: If you want your kitchen to feel modern with a traditional twist, our Bella Richmond kitchen unit doors in an oakgrain cream, alabaster, antique white or ivory finish are a great option.
Soft, neutral grey
When working with grey, it’s really important to choose the right tone as it’s a colour that can sometimes feel quite clinical and cold. A soft, neutral grey will act as a beautiful and timeless foundation colour for your kitchen, allowing you to layer other colours to add extra depth and interest.
If you want your kitchen to be sleek, modern and stand the test of time, our Bella Venice slab style doors are an ideal option. Our full Bella range of kitchen unit doors comes in a variety of grey tones, including dove grey, which is a colour that layers beautifully with creams, whites, pinks and bolder hues such as forest green and indigo blue.

Sage green
Soft, soothing and earthy, sage green is a wonderful shade to choose if you want to give your kitchen a hint of colour without overwhelming your room. Sage green pairs well with myriad other earthy tones, including blues, browns, yellows and richer greens. It’s also a very gentle colour that can act as a neutral, especially when it’s paired with other natural colours such as beige, cream and ivory.
Graphite
If you want to bring the drama without using large swathes of black, choosing a rich graphite finish for your kitchen unit doors can offer the same depth without feeling too stark. Our ultra-modern Zurfiz doors make an eye-catching addition to any kitchen and are particularly impactful in a deep grey finish, such as supermatt graphite or metallic anthracite.
Choosing such a sleek option for your cabinets will also ensure that this intense colour doesn’t dominate the space, allowing you plenty of visual space in which to incorporate layers of other tones and finishes for a softer look.
Pro Tip: A range of metal and wood tones complement graphite, enabling you to incorporate texture into your kitchen with different accessories and finishes.

Indigo blue
Rich and sophisticated, a deep indigo blue can bring a touch of drama to your kitchen in the best possible way. Additionally, blue is an intensely calming colour, which can be perfect for ensuring that one of the busiest areas of the home consistently feels like an inviting place to unwind.
Indigo blue is a versatile colour that suits kitchen unit doors of all styles. You can lean into its heritage qualities by choosing doors with refined central panelling, such as our Bella Chester doors. Alternatively, you can let the colour do all the talking by choosing sleek and streamlined cabinetry, such as our Bella Chelsea doors.
Pro Tip: Pair indigo blue cabinets with bright neutrals such as beige and white for a fresh look. Alternatively, experiment with warm complementary colours, including orange and yellow to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
