Do you mean the colour of the units or the walls Isabelle?
As Lisagran says, a lot depends on size of kitchen and light etc.
We have pale cream Shaker style for the units and a sage colour for the walls which works well for an East facing kitchen.
A friend has greeny grey units and a deep cream on the walls
(Ivory) and another friend has shiny white units and cobalt blue walls, all lovely.

It must depend on lots of factors - the amount of light in the room at different times of day, the colours you like, the decor of the adjoining rooms, etc? Can the professional helping you show you the room in different colours on a computer?

That’s the exact colour I’m about to use in our kitchen, but I’m having all the wooden units painted in it, and the big larder cupboard in lime green!

Happy to hear a recommendation from someone who has used it.

Hi we've just fitted a small square kitchen out in what's called winchester blue.It's a bluey greeny grey, changes colour with the light and I love it. We put grey worktops and tiles and a pale grey laminate floor . There doesn't seem to be much choice in colours when you look. My second choice would have been white, then you could change the colour of the walls and accessories if you became bored with the same look.

We have a large, very light bright kitchen All cupboards are white. We have painted the walls a deep purple. Littlegreene Thai Sapphire. Looks tremendous. We are trying to be brave and ditch the grey,white or Magnolia

What’s the best kitchen colour for a home with a contemporary design? We’re renovating our kitchen a few weeks from now, and we’re getting help from this bespoke kitchens Essex based professional. But we still can’t decide on the best colour to use! Can you please give us some good recommendations? Thanks!
