Choosing the colours for your bespoke kitchen cabinet doors can be a bit daunting. Firstly, there are an awful lot to choose from so, unless you already know what you want, it can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Secondly, there is the problem of fads and trends; what might look cutting edge today could turn into a designer’s nightmare tomorrow. Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal taste. However, if you want to choose a colour that will stand the test of time, it’s a good idea to check out these perennial favourites.

The five most popular colours for bespoke kitchen cabinet doors

  • White is a timeless classic. It’s simple, fresh and soothing and has an enduring appeal. In addition, it reflects light beautifully, giving the impression of depth and space, which makes is as suitable for smaller kitchens as it is for larger ones. The ultimate neutral colour, it can save you having to repaint your entire kitchen or co-ordinate fixtures and fittings. White is also equally at home in a rustic kitchen as it is a modern one, offsetting the character of the room against understated elegance.
  • Green adds a touch of freshness and colour. If you lean towards the paler, more muted end of the spectrum, you’ll find it adds subtle sophistication to your entire kitchen. This look is far more prevalent in country-style kitchens. Brighter greens are dynamic and eye-catching and can be used to create fun splashes of colour in smaller kitchens while darker greens drip with refinement and are better suited to a modern backdrop, going well with contemporary materials, such as stainless steel.
  • Black is a bold choice for bespoke kitchen cabinet doors, but anchors the room and gives it a definite presence. This colour gives you carte blanche when choosing accent colours for your walls, fixtures and fittings as it works with most, providing contrast or complimenting them. Black tends to work best in contemporary kitchens, adding a dash of sleek chic. It works well alongside modern materials, such as stainless steel and glass.
  • Grey is one of the hottest colours on the market today. The trend has been inspired by its use in designer American penthouses and those looking to emulate that high-end class have given the colour something of a new lease of life. However, while grey has been embraced by those wanting to enhance their modern kitchens, the paler greys have been used for years in traditional, country-style kitchens. A soothing colour, it can be used to evoke comfort and warmth, as well as cutting-edge sophistication.
  • Yellow is back in fashion. If you’re looking to lighten up your culinary headquarters, consider a pale yellow. This works well in traditional kitchens – especially those with white walls and appliances. A pale yellow also reflects light well, helping to create a feeling of spaciousness in smaller kitchens. Bright yellows tend to work in contemporary settings, where the accent is on youth and fun. Yellow bespoke cabinet doors are immediately sunny and cheerful and add a touch of designer know-how to the busiest room in your home.
