Cream kitchen decorating ideas


10 designs in this classic neutral |

Cream kitchen ideas are always warm and inviting, whether they're classic Shaker-style rooms or super-modern, streamlined spaces. The ultimate neutral, it's just as timeless as white or gray, but sunnier and more welcoming for larger or light-starved kitchens that will feel less like home in cooler tones.

There is a whole range of creams to choose from – from elegant, just-off-whites, such as ivory, chalk and alabaster, to gray-creams, such as taupe and stone, and more earthy shades, like linen. 

Cream kitchens look fabulous with other colors, too – pale blue to navy, blush pinks, deep greens, grey, white and even black. 

For anyone who has dismissed cream as a top option for their list of kitchen ideas, let us change your mind.

Cream kitchen ideas

Cream kitchens are incredibly easy to introduce accent colors and tones to. For contemporary spaces, warm metallics, such as gold and brass, look wonderful.  

More traditional rooms will benefit from the textures that wood will introduce. And, of course, you can match cream to other kitchen color ideas for a two-tone kitchen design, too. 

1. Combining cream with white creates a layered feel

The beauty of a cream kitchen is that it works with pretty much all colors – the sign of a great neutral. If you love white kitchen ideas but feel they will be too stark in your kitchen then consider teaming white with cream, which will create a subtly layered look.

To create contrast, you can opt for a deeper cream – more of a taupe or stone, like in this kitchen by Little Greene . That way, the white will stand out and create a fresh feel while the cream warms the space. Wooden elements look great with this combination. Choose a dark tone for a kitchen that has plenty of natural light; otherwise, a mid-toned wood is the best option.

2. Patterns work well with neutrals

Using a neutral like cream opens up the opportunity to use color and pattern, because it’s so versatile. We love the idea of installing decorative flooring – it creates a focal point and adds an exciting element to the space. 

David Snazel, hard flooring buyer at Carpetright , explains: ‘When looking to update your scheme, bold kitchen flooring ideas can add a little "wow". If the room is on the smaller side, lighter floors will help open a space and create the perfect base to build upon with trending accessories.’

3. Matching walls to cabinetry creates a spacious feel

For an all encompassing look that is spacious and airy, choose your favorite cream shade and use it everywhere – on the cabinetry and walls, like in this kitchen by Neptune .

Using the same cream on the ceiling will create a really warm-looking space, too. However, you will want to have some kind of contrast for the flooring and countertops so that the cream has something to shine against. 

Here, the wood's natural textures and colors in the rustic gray kitchen flooring introduce a characterful feel and tie in nicely with the wooden window frame and soft gray backsplash. Pale blue chairs tone down the cream to create a pale, but interesting, finish.

4. Cream kitchen cabinetry suits a traditional look

Painted kitchens tend to suit traditional-style homes, but how do you choose the right shade of cream for your room? It really depends on the effect you want to create – warm, welcoming and relaxed or cool, elegant and restrained – and the amount and quality of natural daylight the room receives. 

Light-starved kitchens, and those that you want to feel warm need creams with a hint of yellow or pink in them; sunny spaces or ones you would like to feel more pared back will work with creams that tend towards gray hues, so consider light when deciding how to paint your kitchen cabinets.

5. Warm metallics are the perfect accent for cream

For more contemporary cream kitchen ideas that you want to give a glam appeal, try using surfaces like Gerald Culliford’s SapienStone ceramic. It’s shown here on the countertops and cabinet fronts, teamed with internal brass edging. 

This cream kitchen scheme would work well in a small kitchen design, as the clean lines and sleek edges create a spacious and seamless feel. 

6. Teaming cream with navy creates real impact

When natural light is low in a kitchen, a barely-there white-cream like Farrow & Ball’s Lime White will brighten it without making it feel too stark. Named after the chalky pigments used in original distempers, it’s one of their traditional neutrals and has a small amount of green pigment. 

The result is a subtle yet understated feel, that gently brightens without being too intense. Plus, it looks wonderful matched with deep navy blue kitchen accents – pick out just one element of your scheme in this color, whether a range, fire surround or kitchen island, and the effect will be beautiful.

7. Contrasting wall colors add depth and interest

‘The key with a cream kitchen is to pair cream painted kitchen cabinets with contrasting walls and textural elements, like dark wood countertops and flooring. This will give the design an edge and create appealing visual interest,’ explains Tom Howley, design director at Tom Howley .

‘Use lighting to your advantage and choose a combination of colors that look fresh in the day but warm and inviting at night. The shadows created by your lighting choices creates an extra element of texture which can transform the space. Even during daylight, your choice of pendant lighting will add to the overall feel of the room.’

8. Combine cream with black for a contemporary kitchen

We often think of black and white kitchens working better in a contemporary space, but actually cream and black can be a touch softer, as London based interior designer Louise Bradley explains:

‘It doesn't have to be difficult to create a modern feel in a cream kitchen. Start with choosing a tone variation that's slightly muted and away from the yellow and cyan undertones. A light colored veneer will also create a contemporary feel.  

'Combine this with a clean architectural design, a light or dark stone worktop and a less traditional handle detail. Adding glass and metal elements to your kitchen will further enhance the contemporary feel of the space.’

9. Cream kitchen cabinetry is the perfect match for low ceilings

(Image credit: Neptune)

We don’t all love light and bright – some of us adore a cosy feel that can be achieved with beautiful dark parquet flooring and warmer cream kitchen cabinet colors. This charming Shaker style kitchen by Neptune shows you how to combat that age-old issue of low ceilings, too.

The ivory units lighten the space and add warmth, which is helped by the white countertops. Recessed ceiling lights teamed with global task lights will create an ambience when the sun goes down. Stainless steel appliances coupled with chrome drawer knobs add a modern touch. 

10. Cream looks fabulous matched with deep green

If you want to create a light and dark contrast then consider teaming cream with deep green kitchen ideas – it’s a classic combination that won't date any time soon.  

Helen Parker, creative director at deVOL , explains why cream is such a hit for kitchens:

‘Limited color palettes make styling a room easier. You can be much more selective, not necessarily keeping to that same color but being a little more restrained with your choices. A rich, muted color on the walls and cupboards with flashes of crystal and copper is enough to create drama. 

'Similarly, in a light colored kitchen, the constraints of using only natural earthy colors help to instantly create a soft and mellow feel.’

What colors go best with a cream kitchen?

Natural colors go best in most cream kitchen ideas. At the most neutral end of the spectrum, that includes white, gray, browns and blacks – and you can include everything from marble to wood to slate within that color spectrum. 

For bolder colors, sticking to shades inspired by nature is the best option – that's earthy terracottas, deep greens, dark blues and even blush pink. We would avoid anything too glaring – think: orange – and primary colors like red kitchen accents, which just don't complement cream's soft tones.  

Are cream kitchen cabinets in style?

Cream kitchen cabinets are definitely in style – in fact, this color is a timeless shade that will never date, whether your kitchen is contemporary or traditional.

If you're wondering how to make a small kitchen look bigger, cream is a smart color choice. Unlike white, it will feel more welcoming and home buyers love cream kitchens, too, which is always a bonus.

Cream Kitchen Cabinet Ideas

Cream kitchen cabinets have increasingly grown in popularity over the past few years – and for good reason! Cream is warmer than white and lends a timeless and luxurious look to a kitchen design. Cream-colored cabinets work in many different design styles, from modern to rustic, traditional, country, and farmhouse. They also are available in a wide variety of cabinet styles including shaker, recessed, and raised panel.

Cream is a soft hue that is as timeless as white or gray but warmer, making it easier on the eyes and helping to make any space feel less clinical. It also pairs effortlessly with any accent color or material, from brass finishes to dark woods.

Cream-colored kitchen cabinets instantly convey an elegant feeling that provides a warm and inviting feel to the space. Marble countertops, solid stone slab backsplashes, shaker style cabinets, wood, brick, or stone, all look beautiful with cream.

If you are presently researching different kitchen design options, I have created posts on blue, green, white and black kitchen cabinets as well as kitchen blacksplash and farmhouse kitchen cabinet ideas.

Cream Cabinets Pair Beautifully with Pattern 

Using a neutral like cream provides an opportunity to use color and pattern, because it’s so versatile. Try installing decorative flooring, unique backsplashes, and colorful area rugs – it creates a focal point and adds an interesting element to the space.

Add Greenery to Brighten a Neutral Space

A little bit of greenery goes a long way in a kitchen with cream-colored cabinets. Green and cream are complementary to each other and work together to create natural visual warmth.

Studio McGee made dramatic changes to this kitchen re-design by completely switching the layout by moving the range and island to create this focal moment between the two. They used creamy Swiss Coffee on the cabinetry, and used Calcutta marble on the countertops and up the backsplash. They also created a closet like pantry in this corner so the space was easy to walk through.

Situated in the heart of Southampton’s village, this city dwellers surf retreat started with a disjointed open plan layout; taking it away from its original charming cottage architecture. Sectioning out the 1st floor, Becca Interiors were able to create cozy pockets throughout the space centering around the heart of the home; the Kitchen. Adding a bonus breakfast room looking out onto the veranda also allowed the traffic of the home to be completely repurposed; better capturing the Hamptons light, as well as focusing on functionality for this growing family. Custom clad beaded-shiplap walls visually lend to the heights of the ceiling and create an added layer throughout, whilst a vintage sourced mantle captures the spirit of the properties original charm.

Matching Colors with Cream

There is a broad spectrum of color choices that work well with cream including blues, greens, grays, reds, purples, and oranges. Virtually, the sky is the limit when it comes to pairing cream with other hues.

Instead of completely revamping the home, Whittney Parkinson blended the old and new. Fortunately, the homeowners also shared a passion for maintaining the original makeup of this home. And, because of the historical significance of this dwelling, they would have had to get approval from the local historical society before making any changes to the exterior, so there were no major adjustments done to the structure.

“The renovation of the home’s original kitchen was by far the most significant undertaking during this extensive project, as this space was nearly doubled in size, thanks to an existing breakfast nook that was used to expand the width of this room. As for the furnishings, the minimalist beige cabinetry was a direct nod to the utilitarian aesthetic of a European kitchen from the 1920s, says Parkinson.

Much like the design process of the bedroom, design inspiration for the kitchen stemmed from notable television series—in this case, Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders. Some design elements that were considered, thanks to these shows, include exposed hinges, corbels, inset cabinetry, subway tiles, and an oversized beadboard.” ~ House Beautiful

Warm Metallics are the Perfect Accent for Cream

Cream Cabinets Pair Perfectly with Wood Accents

Anything works great with cream-colored cabinets including wood flooring, countertops, open shelving, and beams. Lighter and natural wood tones work best. Adding dashes of color with area rugs, backsplashes, artwork, countertop decor or green plants is a great finishing touch.

Ranch Style House Home Tour

This stunning ranch style house is perched high on a hilltop and nestled among the trees claiming its rightful place on a scenic 200-acre property in Texas. The owner desired an ample yet understated home with natural and simple architectural expression that would blend effortlessly into the landscape that surrounds it. Heavy timber columns and stone walls ground the home to the site. Reclaimed siding and simple barn-like structures give the architecture a sense of history and regional belonging. Referencing the owner’s love of the old west, many of the interior walls showcase the same stone and wood that is on the exterior of the home. This gesture alludes to a time when materials were not mass produced but simply gathered from the area and formed as needed.

Beautiful Country Homes Tour

This post features tours of beautiful country homes designed by Beth Webb, an internationally recognized interior designer admired for her tactile, serene, and dynamic spaces. Beth believes beauty only works if it is calibrated by ease, and that elegance is rooted in simplicity. “Texture is my color palette,” says Beth, who uses a variety of materials and objects to create interest in a room. She mingles sinuous profiles with hard lines, juxtaposing masculine and feminine silhouettes to create compelling, sensual spaces. Layered light is another crucial element bringing a sense of warmth, romance and contentment to Beth’s interiors.

Atlanta Traditional Country Home

Today we begin a tour of a stunning Atlanta home where the pallet was inspired by the home owner’s (Jane Hight) vast collection of blue-and-white Imari porcelain inherited from her mother and grandmother. Having served as the accountant for interior designer Lauren DeLoach for several years, it was natural for Hight to enlist the designer’s help when decorating her home. When it came to a color palette, the pair looked no further than Hight’s beloved family porcelain. “While we knew we would use blue, finding the right shade took some study,” says DeLoach. “We didn’t want a too-saturated hue, but we didn’t want it too pale. We also needed another color to add punctuation marks here and there, so the salmon hue came from the Imari porcelain.”

Country Home Tour

The small and compact English-style country home is 1,400-square-feet and situated on a sweeping pasture across from the Inn at Brays Island in South Carolina. The owners hired Interior Designer, Beth Webb to create a pastoral blend of Anglo and Low Country traditions. “It’s interesting how a house this tiny can be so INCREDIBLY LIVABLE. Inside, all that extreme verticality means the rooms feel neither contained or compressed. Plus the house has a beautiful orientation on the property, so there’s a lovely dappling of light morning, afternoon, and evening. We took advantage of this as much as possible, especially in the galley kitchen, which we designed as kind of a non-kitchen kitchen, a space that looks more like a sun-splashed garden room with that huge window.”

Having grown up in the country, I’ve always had an interest in rustic interiors. I studied design at Montana State and Ryerson University and later became a partner in a handcrafted log home company. Although I now live in a charming residential community by the ocean, my home still reflects my love for the modern rustic approach to design.
When I’m not working on my business, I love hiking with my German Shepherd Rose, working out and travelling. I also love visiting with my kids when they come home. My daughter is a doctor and is working towards becoming a surgeon, and my son is a civil engineer who until recently was living in New Zealand. I hope you enjoy going through my posts, and please let me know if you have any suggestions on future posts you’d like to see!

interior design, kitchen renovation in beige tones

Every owner of the house dreams of such a kitchen, which would become not only a space for preparing delicious food, but also a cozy place for a pleasant pastime with family. Beige is the perfect combination of harmony, comfort, coziness and elegance. Caramel shades will make the kitchen luxurious, creamy ones will give warmth, wheaten ones will visually expand the room. Creating and decorating a beige kitchen does not take too much effort and time, because any furniture, finishing materials or decor will look very advantageous against such a noble background.

Beige and combinations with it

Many people think that beige is made from a single color. This is not true! Beige includes several shades: peach, yellow, red, gray, green. Due to this, it cannot be called warm or cold. It is a neutral tone that harmonizes well with other contrasting counterparts.

A combination of beige and light blue is a good option. Turquoise accessories or an unusual azure finish can become a real highlight of the room against a cream background. A more conservative and extravagant solution is the dilution of light colors with black matte furniture.

The following color combinations will also be harmonious: beige with brown, beige with green, beige with pink, beige with gray. If there is a desire to decorate the kitchen in one color, then you can vary the caramel and sand halftones. They will place the necessary accents and will not disturb the overall bright atmosphere.

Interior styles

Beige has a unique ability to reveal the richness of other shades, emphasize the interesting geometry of furniture and bright accents. It is so versatile that it looks great and stylish in almost any style direction.

Beige modern style kitchen

The perfect combination for connoisseurs of simplicity and conciseness. Modern design includes clean lines on textiles, unusually shaped furniture, stylish glass accessories, and natural finishes. All this will be in perfect harmony with each other on a sand or cream background. The highlight of the chosen style in beige tones can be a bright contrast of colors, for example, black glossy furniture and a light floor, geometric wall patterns against a neutral ceiling, or beige facade furniture with darker finishing materials.

Scandinavian beige kitchen

Nordic notes in combination with a cold beige color can catch the soul of a real esthete of beauty and minimalism. The clarity of forms, the correct arrangement of furniture and accessories, the functional simplicity of objects and the absence of bulky details will blend perfectly with the desired shade. You can complement the overall picture of simplicity and lightness with the help of eco-friendly finishes and natural decor (clay, glass, stone).

Classic beige kitchen

A traditional kitchen design that will never go out of style. Classic style and beige color are good friends that complement each other in the interior. On a neutral light background, bulky luxurious chandeliers, glossy wooden furniture and paintings by famous artists will look even more elegant and stylish. This type of cuisine is suitable for lovers of beautiful bold accents and gloss in everything.

Beige country style kitchen

One of the best ways to fill the kitchen space with rustic simplicity and comfort is to decorate it in country style using warm beige tones. This design is a great opportunity to give the kitchen extra light and scale. Decorative tableware made of natural clay and stone, eco-friendly furniture, handmade accessories will emphasize the given atmosphere.

Beige Mediterranean kitchen

Lovers of the sea coast often combine blue shades with beige in kitchen design. This choice is not surprising, because caramel marble, colored mosaics, exquisite natural furniture and original decor look great in tandem with Mediterranean style and beige with all its cold and warm shades.

Finishes and materials

The correct design of the kitchen is not only a big plus in terms of aesthetics, but also the confidence that repairs can last a long time. In this regard, it is necessary to carefully and conscientiously approach the choice of finishing materials.

Sex

When choosing flooring for the kitchen, it is important to pay attention to high moisture resistance, resistance to mechanical and chemical damage and ease of maintenance. These options will help a lot in the future. Tile is considered a proven and comfortable choice. It has a great aesthetic variety and makes it possible to install additional heating. This option is universal for a variety of interior designs. Wood or laminate with imitation of natural materials will perfectly fit into the atmosphere of a country-style kitchen, minimalism or loft. Linoleum and self-leveling floor will also be harmonious in terms of quality and design of the kitchen.

Walls

Wallpaper and plastic panels are standard wall coverings. Non-woven wallpapers are famous for their functional characteristics, and plastic panels can add zest to the uniformity of the kitchen. A more creative approach is considered to be decorative plaster and sheathing with natural materials (stone, wood). The main thing is to remember that the color of the walls should be combined with all other finishing materials.

Ceiling

Stretch ceiling looks very nice in beige color. It is not only functional and practical, but also strikes the imagination with its external diversity. There are matte, satin, embossed and glossy variations. An equally good choice would be a tension structure, which is not picky in terms of finances and installation.

Kitchen lighting

Beige kitchen space can be comfortable with the right lighting. Many mistakenly think that the central chandelier is enough. The ideal solution would be a combination of the main and additional light source.

For a bright kitchen in caramel, sand, cream or cream colors, you need to choose lighting that complements the overall interior design. It can be wrought iron, copper, imitation wood or durable ceramic. Elements with stones complement the classic direction, chandeliers in the form of candlesticks will be relevant for the loft, retro lanterns will appeal to the owners of country style and pop art.

Another more economical option for additional lighting, as well as zoning the kitchen into a working and dining area, can be a small LED strip (built into cabinets or mounted on the floor).

85 photos of interiors, design and renovation ideas

Among all possible color schemes for decorating a kitchen, light shades are the undisputed leader. Pastel colors visually enlarge the space, giving it a clean and tidy look. This design is especially relevant for small rooms and open-plan apartments, where the kitchen should be in harmony with the hallway and living room. The interior in gentle colors pacifies, relaxes and gives a good mood, which is especially important during cooking and cozy meals with loved ones.

Interior styles

Despite the apparent monotony, bleached paints in the kitchen area can look completely different. In this case, textures of materials, fittings and decorative elements play an important role. It is good if all these details are united by a single theme, which represents a certain interior style. It is worth noting that light colors are suitable for almost any design direction, whether it be timeless classics, vintage Provence or trendy high-tech. Ethnic and rustic motifs are more often chosen for private homes, while modern minimalism emphasizes the urbanity of city apartments.

Bright kitchen in classic style

The classic kitchen set is a furniture set that impresses with its exquisite luxury. As a rule, it is made of solid wood, evenly colored in a noble shade of ivory, pearls or white chocolate. Symmetrical decor in the form of antique ornaments, pilasters, gilding and expensive metal fittings turns an ordinary kitchen wall into a piece of art. For countertops in such an ensemble, predominantly light marble is used, a little less often - black granite or artificial stone.

The hood and household appliances must match the majestic design, so it is necessary to select models in which colors and decorations form a harmonious ensemble with furniture fronts.

Bright modern style kitchen

Neat and clean design lines in light colors are especially attractive. Minimalism characteristic of the urban style saves space in a small kitchen, and smooth surfaces with a slight metallic sheen make it light and comfortable. If a modern suite seems too "office" due to monochrome white or steel colors, it's worth adding a little wood - it can be countertops, an apron, flooring, and even strict beams on the ceiling.

Bright Scandinavian style kitchen

The Nordic design is characterized by discreet simplicity and, at the same time, maximum convenience. This interior is always dominated by white with cooling ice-blue, steel and gray elements.

Warm tones are represented by light woods (floors, countertops) and ethnic-style woven rugs, which sometimes echo red dishes. Most surfaces in a Scandinavian kitchen are plain, although the floor or backsplash can be tiled in a patchwork pattern.

Bright Provence style kitchen

Pastel colors are the hallmark of the Provence style, which has recently enjoyed the greatest success among the “village” trends. This design creates a romantic and cozy mood in the kitchen, allowing you to take a break from everyday bustle in a peaceful atmosphere of sweet old times.

Furniture in the style of the French countryside - these are vintage wood cabinets, painted in one of the traditional shades: milky white, turquoise, olive or mint. In addition to them, textiles and accessories with soft pink, lavender, beige prints can be used.

In a Provence style kitchen, there is always a place for cupboards with open shelves, in which painted dishes, ceramic containers with cereals and spices, household items and souvenirs are beautifully arranged.

Bright kitchen in loft style

Unlike other design concepts, where the central place is occupied by a furniture set, the loft is more dependent on the background finish. This style can only be sustained in a spacious room with high ceilings, large open windows and communications left in plain sight. An almost obligatory feature is bare walls, which can be either in the form of white or red brickwork, or smooth concrete. If the kitchen is located in the attic or in the attic, the floor beams are also not covered by anything - “industrial” lamps are suspended from them.

As for cabinets, it can be the simplest set with smooth white fronts, as in a minimalist or Scandinavian style, as well as rough-hewn wood from the country direction.

Finishes and materials

For a kitchen in light colors, finishing materials are selected, as a rule, also light. If you need contrasting accents, then in most cases their role is assigned to countertops and household appliances. Occasionally, a dark color can be used to decorate the floor, an apron, and small decorative inserts. In general, neutral pastel colors prevail, where all elements are subject to a single theme.

The most practical flooring in a bright kitchen is porcelain stoneware, ceramic tiles and self-leveling floors. Heating can be installed under these materials, which creates additional comfort during cooking. In addition, their advantages are durability, strength and resistance to frequent wet cleaning.

For the dining area, if it is located far enough from the stove and sink, you can choose wooden parquet, natural board or laminate, but preferably with moisture-proof impregnation. Regardless of the size of the room, it is recommended to opt for a monochromatic design in neutral white, beige, light gray or wood tones.

Walls and backsplash

In almost any style of interior, the best background for a white headset is a uniform pastel color. Provence can be considered a rare exception to this rule, where wallpaper with a small chintz pattern is allowed, as well as a loft, which cannot be imagined without open brickwork.

In modern style, a bright apron made of tinted glass or plastic can stand out from the overall picture, with which dining chairs and some decor should echo. For modern and classic style, the protective coating behind the work areas is made of white brick-like tiles (the so-called boar tiles) or plain light-colored tiles. In a rustic interior, this area is lined with matte ceramics with a soft beige, gray or lavender pattern, and in a Scandinavian one you can sometimes find a “patchwork” patchwork pattern.

Ceiling

A universal solution for the ceiling of a bright kitchen - white painting or a stretch fabric of the same color. Any bright or saturated tone will visually reduce the height of the room and disrupt the harmony of the space. In ethnic directions (Provence, country, Scandinavian style) and loft, beams can be left in sight; if vertical footage allows, then specially hang decorative ones. Moisture-resistant drywall, fiberglass or non-woven wallpaper will help to hide the flaws of the surface for painting.

Kitchen furniture and appliances

In addition to the light set, the dining area, island, bar counter and other details are often purchased from the same collection. This is especially true for small kitchens, as well as interiors in a classic and rustic style, where the furniture is quite richly decorated with carvings, patterns, and exquisite fittings. In more democratic design options, you can experiment by combining items from different catalogs - the main thing is that some feature unites them into a single composition. This role can be played by repetitive color, texture, material, shape or size.

The choice of kitchen appliances in pastel colors is not a big problem. For classic design, provence, country direction, many manufacturers create beautiful retro models of ovens, hobs, stoves, hoods. Refrigerators, coffee machines and other modern appliances in such interiors are usually hidden behind the facades of the headset.

Touch panels, LCD screens, chrome-plated steel and high-gloss black glass look harmonious in modern interiors.
