With the summer season in full swing, this season’s trending colours reflect the vivacity that envelops us each summer. If you want to inject this feeling into your kitchen, let’s take a closer look at some of the tones you might want to look out for.

Summer 2025 Colour Trends to Transform Your Kitchen Unit Doors
Muted orange
Warming and full of personality without ever looking too harsh, muted orange is a surprisingly versatile colour that can even be used as a neutral within your design scheme. It’s a great colour to pair with sage green kitchen unit doors to amplify the sense of warmth in your kitchen and create a space that feels grounded in a very optimistic and vibrant way.
Pro Tip: Muted orange hues with red or brown undertones are incredibly easy to work with, as they’ll shift with the light to create a kitchen that feels bright and airy during the day, and cosy and intimate in the evenings.
Cool blue
From baby blue to blue grey, calming tones are making a splash this summer. Many different tones fit under the cool blue umbrella, allowing for plenty of flexibility that will enable you to really put your own stamp on your kitchen.
Light blue works beautifully with rich brown furniture to create a space that feels both refreshing and timeless. But it’s also a colour that can be effortlessly incorporated into a space that’s inspired by nature, alongside warm neutrals and green hues.
Finding the right tone of blue to suit your kitchen is key to preventing your space from feeling icy and unwelcoming. If you’re looking for kitchen unit doors in a refreshing light blue finish, our our Bella collection comes in a beautiful Scandinavian blue that will bring a gentle uplifting energy to your home.

Neutral pink
Soft, delicate and wonderfully versatile, pink tones can also work beautifully as a neutral tone in your kitchen. Not only is it much warmer than grey, it’s softer than white and can be more visually stimulating than beige.
Neutral pink is another colour that’s tailor made for the colour drenching trend, so if you can’t get enough of this whimsical tone, using it on your walls, kitchen unit doors, cornices and pelmets will give your kitchen a contemporary yet characterful update.
Butter yellow
Butter yellow is one of the colours of 2025 and its popularity is showing no signs of dissipating anytime soon. Buttery tones have an inherently retro look and feel, which will instantly bring a sense of sophistication into your kitchen that feels both fun and grown up.
Warm, creamy tones pair beautifully with antique white and light natural wood finishes to create a space that feels light, airy and restorative. Buttery hues can also be used as part of a colour drenched design in a monochromatic space that almost acts as a palate cleanser, leaving you feeling warm, comfortable and refreshed.

Red and yellow
If you’re looking for a colour combination that will bring a sense of vitality and energy to your kitchen, you really can’t go wrong with red and yellow. Warm, vibrant and immediately impactful, red and yellow is a pairing that screams passion and energy.
Pro Tip: When working with two very bold hues, selecting the right tone is key to creating a space that feels harmonious and not too overwhelming. Overly saturated red and yellow hues can be tricky to work with, so consider experimenting with rusty reds and yellow ochres instead.
Metallic accents
Incorporating metallic accents is a simple yet striking way to bring some extra dimension and depth. Switching out your kitchen unit doors and adding some gleaming satin brass door knobs or shiny chrome shell drawer handles can bring a new sense of excitement to your kitchen without needing to commit to a full redesign.
