Light blue kitchen cabinet ideas for 2022

Published on 03 Dec 2021

Are you on a quest to find your perfect light blue cabinets? If so, take inspiration from Dulux's Colour of the Year 2022, Blue Skies.

Each year at Masterclass Kitchens, we eagerly wait to discover the next Colour of the Year.

This year, Dulux experts have translated global design trends into 2022's colour of the year; Bright Skies.

Bright Skies is a beautifully airy, fresh tone that resembles our perennially popular light blue kitchen finishes, Coastal Mist and Light Blue.

We believe the popularity of our light blue kitchen cabinets comes down to versatility and liveability.  Light Blue is an almost-neutral hue that offers the versatility of achromatic colours, but with a bit more liveliness.

Our alternative light blue kitchen colour, Coastal Mist is a soothing hue that mirrors nature’s oceanic tones, bringing a sense of tranquillity to your space. 

These serene colours mix well an array of finishes, including the endlessly popular grey kitchen cabinet. Luckily, most colours go with light blue, but different combinations will create different effects.

So, if you've been inspired by Dulux's colour of the year and are lusting over light blue kitchen cabinets, let us take you through some of the looks you can achieve using our light blue kitchen colours.

Modern rustic light blue kitchen

Using light blue kitchen cabinets in your rustic modern kitchen will create a unique fresh look that will undoubtedly stand out from the crowd.

To get the look, use Coastal Mist as your base colour firstly. Then, add toasty wood-effect elements using Ligna Mayfield Oak in work surfaces, breakfast bars and other cabinet doors to warm up the space. For a cooler rustic look, choose Ligna Washed Oak. Finally, finish our new, vintage-feel Copper handles.

Cool light blue kitchen

Light blue kitchen cabinets may seem like an obvious choice if you're seeking a cool scheme, but there are ways to accentuate your kitchen doors to create a space that's especially fresh and striking.

Firstly, make your scheme two-tone; pair Coastal Mist cool grey kitchen cabinets, such as our Light Grey or Scots Grey finishes. Then, incorporate bright silver or brushed silver D kitchen handles.

To further elevate your design, you could incorporate cool natural stone finishes for your kitchen worktops and a metallic splashback.

Warm light blue kitchen

Choosing a simple, almost-neutral colour for your kitchen cabinets means you can use other elements in your kitchen to add vibrancy.

For example, opt for some cabinetry in a wood-effect finish, such as Madoc Henley oak or warming Portland Oak for design features like open shelving or storage features, such as Crate Drawers.

Complete the scheme with luxurious gold knurled handles for an eclectic touch. The understated tone of Light Blue allows the gold to really pop and accentuates the luxury of the knurled finish.

Natural light blue kitchen

We already know that grey and light blue kitchen cabinets are a match made in heaven. But have you considered incorporating grey stone finishes?

Incorporating stone-effect finishes into your scheme will add depth, character and create a crisp, industrial look. One of our favourite combination is Light Blue mixed with Milano Silver Shadow worktops, a Milano Earth Stone breakfast bar, completed with black satin effect handles.
