Allez Les Bleus
Stephan JulliardJean-Louis Deniot incorporated the whimsy of Tintin into his vacation home off the coast of France.
No space is as charming as his kitchen, with its custom blue cabinets—accented in neat, cream trim to play up the windows—and old-timey checkerboard floor.

High-Shine Blue
Karyn MilletELLE DECOR readers are smitten with this high-gloss galley kitchen in the California home of design insiders Joe Lucas and David Heikka—and it’s easy to see why with its cheerful blue paint job. “Before, the cabinets were all white, and I follow a golden rule—no white kitchens—so we immediately painted them,” explains Lucas.

Primary Blue
Mark Luscombe-WhyteLandscape designer Jenny Graham cites orange as her favorite color, but here in her minimal Argentinian kitchen, she contrasted her beloved tangerine with a bold, custom cobalt on the kitchen cabinets.

Gray-Blue
Nick JohnsonAs this kitchen designed by all-star decorator Thom Filicia proves, a gray-tinged blue can behave as a lovely neutral in a more traditional decor scheme.
Here, the kitchens are painted in Benjamin Moore’s Brewster Grey. Nickel hardware accentuates the cool palette.

Pale Blue Everything
Francesco LagneseEmily Todhunter designed this Manhattan home to be “nearer to the sky” so a pale blue, of course, was the color of choice throughout the home—and particularly in the kitchen, where she doused the entire room in Benjamin Moore’s Van Courtland Blue.

Blue Island
Alanna HaleDesigner Jessica Davis and architect Gustave Carlson breathed new life into a classic California home first designed by Joseph Eichler in the 1970s. Their intervention included fun jolts of color, including the bright blue island and cabinets in the kitchen.

Deep Blue-Green
Isabel ParraIf you’re on the fence about painting your cabinets blue or green, why not combine them? Budding design firm Perifio painted their own kitchen cabinets a deep teal from C2 Paint, a shade that helps draw in the green of the surrounding countryside.

Blue with Industrial Accents
Peter MurdockThe beauty of blue cabinets is that the hue also complements a surprising spectrum of materials, from timber to terrazzo, the material of choice here in a sleek vacation home designed by architect Blaze Makoid and interior designer Joe Nahem.

Classic Duck Egg
Stacy Zarin GoldbergDuck-egg blue is a total classic when it comes to kitchen cabinetry, and this is one of the most elegant examples out there. Here, in a Washington, D.C., residence, designer Zoe Feldman opted for Farrow & Ball’s Card Room Green, a shade inspired by Victorian homes.

Splashes of Azure
Stephan JulliardNot ready to embrace an all-blue kitchen? Try it in smaller doses, like in this happy Portuguese cooking space designed by Jacques Grange. In lieu of entirely blue cabinets, Grange deployed it just on the outer edges.
11
Sky Blue in the Sky
Thomas LoofIt’s only fitting that a home in the clouds would have equally vertiginous cabinetry. This Richard Mishaan–designed apartment, in Herzog & de Meuron’s Jenga-like 56 Leonard skyscraper in New York City, includes floor-to-ceiling blue cabinetry in a shade that matches the blue of the sky and the Hudson River far below.

A Whisper of Blue
Trevor TondroIf you have stainless steel appliances, a pale blue with gray undertones is the route for you. Here, designer Alison Palevsky picked a barely there blue shade (one that makes appearances throughout this sprawling California home) to contrast with the Viking stove and hanging pot rack.

True Blue Cabinets
Stephen Kent JohnsonOK, this technically isn’t a kitchen—it’s actually a bar area in a Hamptons home—but there are plenty of lessons to be learned here, courtesy of designer Poonam Khanna.
She incorporated floor-to-ceiling vibrant blue cabinets (in Philipsburg Blue by Benjamin Moore) and leaned into their Crayola brightness with a set of sunny yellow chairs.

Bright and Light Cabinets
Emily GilbertYou don’t necessarily have to have all-white-everything in a kitchen to create a space that feels fresh and airy. Case in point: For this kitchen in a Hamptons home, designer Daun Curry chose the faintest of sky blues for the cabinets and a soft, pale gray marble for the island and backsplashes. It’s a bright idea to us!

The Deepest, Glossiest Blue
Francesco LagneseConversely, if you are intrigued by black kitchen cabinets but aren’t quite ready to move to the dark side, navy can be a chic intermediary. In this David Netto–designed kitchen, high-gloss cabinets and a poppy orange tile exude plenty of drama.

advantages and disadvantages, color combination, real photo
Blue color is included in the palette of many people's favorite tones, as it evokes pleasant associations with the warm sea and blue sky. If you are also among the lovers of blue, then during the repair you will probably think about using it in the interior of the apartment.
Is it worth decorating the kitchen in similar colors, in what quantity and what combinations can be used - we will tell you about everything in order.
Contents
Let's start with the positive aspects of using this color in the interior:
- Blue has a calming and calming effect.
- From a physiological point of view, it is known for its ability to lower blood pressure.
- Gives an impression of nobility and austerity.
- Can visually lengthen and narrow the room, give freshness to the interior.
- Great for Mediterranean, Scandinavian, Empire and Art Deco styles.
However, along with the advantages, blue, especially when used in the kitchen, can have significant disadvantages, including:
- The main disadvantage of this color is that it helps to reduce appetite. Of course, this fact can be looked at from different angles: for those who care about their weight, this property will even be useful.
- Also, do not forget that blue belongs to the cold palette, so in winter it will hardly be warm and cozy in such a kitchen.
- For dark rooms where there is little natural light, this color can be a death sentence: it will weigh down the furniture and make the kitchen cold and uncomfortable.
- An overly spacious kitchen in this color scheme will seem even larger, which can cause a feeling of emptiness and, again, deprive you of comfort.
Thus, not all the disadvantages of blue paints are compensated by their merits, so you need to think carefully before using this color as the main one in the kitchen.
Shades of blue
The blue color is quite diverse, but all its shades can be conditionally divided into light and dark. The feature listed above to give the room gloom is especially characteristic of dark shades. However, dark blue will add nobility to spacious and well-lit rooms.
As for light shades, they are less demanding on the area and illumination of the kitchen, but it is light shades that are the coldest. In general, the decision of the question of which shades are better to use in the interior depends entirely on the other colors that are present in the kitchen.
How much blue should the kitchen have?
To avoid the disadvantages of blue listed above, it is better to use it not as a base color, but as an accent, which will give the very freshness that was mentioned as an advantage of this color.
Blue paints can be used in the following parts:
- Crockery, curtains, backsplash or cabinet front.
- One of the walls - which will contribute to the visual elongation of the room.
- Dark blue is also great for table tops.
If you decide to use blue as the main color in the kitchen, then it is better to combine it with a warm palette, which will compensate for some of the disadvantages. Let's talk in more detail about the possible combinations of colors in the design of the kitchen.
Color combination
Blue and white
The combination of blue and white colors is widely used in marine-themed interiors. White will perfectly complement the blue, while it is better if none of the colors dominate or there is more white.
However, both colors are quite cold, so it is better to add warm and bright accents to this pair - for example, yellow or orange. White will go well with both light and dark shades, so it can be safely called one of the best companions of blue.
Tip! Blue and white will look very good when creating ethnic motifs - for example, Gzhel.
Blue and yellow
Blue and yellow - this is the very dilution of cold colors with a warm palette, which was mentioned earlier. And although these colors are opposite in gamut, their combined use is most often successful.
This contrasting kitchen can also be used in a maritime-themed interior by choosing lighter shades of yellow and richer shades of blue.
In addition, blue is well complemented by sandy shades of yellow. In general, with the right selection of shades and design elements, this combination will be very successful.
Blue and orange
The blue-orange effect is very close to the combination of colors described above. However, in practice, the nominal combination of blue and orange is most common: largely due to the fact that the sunshine and cheerfulness that are characteristic of orange well brighten up the cold and detachment of blue.
One of the possible color schemes is the design of the walls in light shades, the kitchen set in dark blue, and the table and chairs or sofa in bright orange.
But this combination requires very careful attention to shades and careful selection of every detail of the interior, so it will take a lot of time and effort to create the perfect kitchen design.
Blue and Beige
Beige is known as one of the most versatile colors, so you can be sure of its good combination with blue.
Being something between cold white and warm yellow and orange, beige incorporates all the advantages described above: adds warmth and comfort to the interior, maintains the nobility of blue. A large number of shades of beige makes a variety of combinations available.
When combining beige and blue, the first color is most often the main color, while the second can be present as details: the front of the headset, backsplash, curtains, countertops, etc.
It is better if there is more beige in the interior design than blue - this will avoid the cold and gloom of the kitchen.
Blue and gray
For a discreet and elegant design, the gray-blue combination is perfect. Shades such as lavender and silver, rich blue and classic gray, pale lilac and pearl are well suited to each other.
It is worth cautioning against decorating the kitchen only in this color scheme: without warm shades, the risk of feeling cold and uncomfortable is too great.
The blue-grey kitchen most often matches the modern style, although it can also be used in classic interiors. Most often, blue is used as the color of the headset, and gray in all other details.
Tip! Among shades of gray, metallic blue is a particularly good companion: this combination will most successfully fit into rooms located on the south, warm side.
Blue and black
Combining blue and black tones, there is a great risk of "drowning" in the gloom of the kitchen.
Since these colors go well on their own, you can use them as accents in a light, for example, beige kitchen.
For example, a black backsplash and a blue and white set, combined with a generally light wall design, can be a good idea for decorating a kitchen. In general, the combination of black and blue is not the best option for a dining room, but it cannot be considered unambiguously unsuccessful either.
Blue and wood
Being somewhat of a shade of brown, wood is one of the best companions for blue. This combination can be used in kitchens of any style and design: the tree will look good as almost any interior detail.
Light wood combined with blue can create a nautical dining room design, dark wood is suitable for classics. It is better if the color of the tree is present in the kitchen in the same amount as blue, and any of the above shades will complement this pair: gray, black, beige or yellow - all of them are well suited to the naturalness of wood and the freshness of blue.
