#1. Ocean-Inspired blue Cabinets.

Opt for deeper, modern shades of blue, like navy or dark vintage blue for a classic take. Rough-cut wooden ceiling beams are perfect overhead. Hang a seascape view and nautical accents for a coastal theme evocative of the pristine waters.

#2. Cheer Up.

Give your cabinets and storage drawers a fresh coat of paint to elicit a clean and serene space. Dainty, pastel colors and pale shades of blue blend well with a white wall backdrop. Thus, giving you a cheery environment where you can cook, dine and entertain. The perfect kitchen environment!

#3. Shine Through.

A blue lacquered finish adds a rich dimension and unparalleled class to any kitchen. Whether on cabinetry or floor to ceiling paint, you will definitely love it!

#4. Tech Savvy.

Blue paint can be easily matched with modern stainless steel appliances and modern day conveniences. Just like that you achieve best results for high-tech food preparation and casual dining.

#5. Feel It.

Incorporate various material and elements that add texture, such as kitchen stools with blue fabric cushion. You might as well combine decorative baskets, an elegant carpet, or paint wall surfaces blue. Don not forget that kitchen cabinets can also come into play!

#6. Hints of Blue in the Kitchen.

Subtle touches of blue can make a huge difference. Switch to a blue-tiled kitchen backsplash! Use blue dining chairs, tableware, or simply place a fruit stand and frames in your choice of hue.

#7. Modern Multiples.

A great color scheme isn’t that hard to pull together, so don’t limit yourself when it comes to styling your kitchen and cabinets. Mix and match different shades of blue. Create a kitchen tailored to your own taste and your own distinct personality.

A light blue kitchen is another option among many others. It adds brightness to that room of the house. Unlike dark shades, light blue kitchens seem more open, bigger and less bold. If you like mild color tones, then this is the style you will love.

Opt for blue and white kitchen ideas

As you can see by yourself, the combination seems to be what we call ideal. The kitchen is as bright as it has to be. And also, it has its dark features according to the blue shade you choose. This is not to say, however, that you can’t have a light blue combined with white. The second picture below proves that it can be great as well. This style will bring even more light to your interior. Blue and white kitchens are amazing and we fully approve it. Are you still thinking about it?
