Blue Kitchen Cabinets More Dramatic Than Gordon Ramsay
Published on 21 Mar 2023
We’ve all seen play-it-safe kitchen designs. You know the type: magnolia walls, white cabinets, bland appliances. Pastel colours developers use to create a mass-appeal kitchen.
The problem with these kitchens is that, while inoffensive, they’re boring. If you want proper drama, you really only have three options:
- Add a Ghost Pepper to your chilli
- Invite Gordon Ramsay for dinner
- Make a statement with bold colours
One and two end in disaster. Hence, today we’ll focus on door three. If you aren’t artistic, don’t worry. Our new Moonlight Blue kitchen cabinets will help you add enjoyable drama to the heart of your home in a way that offers fool proof, timeless elegance. Rest assured, you’re in safe hands.
Step 1: Choose a Style
Our new Moonlight Blue cabinet colour is a bold but adaptable feature colour around which you can create a stand-out design. Indeed, depending on your style preferences, you can use it to produce a traditional or ultra-modern kitchen design.
You could, for example, choose our new Hatfield range. Paired with a Highland Stone kitchen island and a warm Dulux Angora Blanket feature wall, the Moonlight Blue option achieves a high-end cottage effect worthy of any home style magazine.
If you love modern design, on the other hand, consider the Padstow with white marble. Characterised by slick lines and futuristic thinking, it’s perfect for inspiring your inner Heston Blumenthal. Plus, it’s an easy look to soften. Simply add wood furnishings and a parquet floor.
Step 2: Select Accessories
Next comes the accessories, which can make a huge difference to the overall impression your Moonlight Blue cabinets achieve.
Typically, if you want to double down on the traditional kitchen look, our knob or cup handles will help you achieve it in your cooking space. Brass fittings and a classic cornice offer the level of warmth and intricacy needed to perfect a cosy, traditional kitchen aesthetic.
Or, if your vision is set on the future, then add glass doors and edge pull or T-bar handles. Both produce a more contemporary look. On the T-bar varieties, we offer stainless steel varieties and knurled grips for those who want to add a matte element to chrome features.
Step 3: Add Unique Features
“Normal” kitchen cabinets are simple cuboids. But kitchens don’t have to be flat, uniform boxes. In fact, those that stand out often showcase unique pieces that create an adventure for the eyes.
BEHOLD—The Signature Collection! These pieces embody drama. Say you want to bring a touch of Downton Abbey to your kitchen. Our Lansbury corner pantries round the edge of a square room and offers a secret space, plating up a feast for the eyes as you prepare one for the family.
Alternatively, if you want the Lansbury’s beauty and organisation but with a cleaner line, the Hathaway is a spectacular option, perfect for a modern kitchen. Totally customisable, you can choose your own composition of shelves, draws and wine racks to match your needs and personality.
Step 4: Get a Second Opinion
Now you have all the knowledge you need to make dramatic Moonlight Blue kitchen masterpiece. Mixing it up, though, the Hatfield and Padstow ranges are also available in Scots Grey, Light Grey, Dust Grey and Highland Stone, bringing the rugged majesty of a mountain range to your home.
