Merino Laminates, August 3, 2024

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that your kitchen says a lot about you and your kitchen design plays a very important role in deciding your productivity in the space. Creating a space that aids and even eases the process of preparation of cooking is of paramount importance. This, paired with good ventilation, ample storage and an appeasing use of colours and patterns make a kitchen look beautiful, while also making it a delight to work in. It is always ideal to opt for timeless kitchen design ideas as these are time tested and have proven to be the perfect themes that help create the perfect kitchen. Here is a list of the classic kitchen colours and kitchen laminate ideas that you can use to make your kitchen a delight for you:

● Ideal kitchen colour schemes

Before we get into how to use patterns in a classic kitchen, let us look at the ideal kitchen colour schemes that you can use in your home. If you have a lot of natural light coming in, you can play with deeper colours like red, burnt orange, aubergine etc. Colours like olive green, navy blue, black, dark grey etc are also being used extensively to create an elegant and classic design, that is warm and cosy. You can either go for a monochromatic look or choose to pair the colours together to create a more dramatic look. From using red and black for a flamboyant and sleek kitchen to a mix of olive green and burnt orange for a very lively and earthy theme, you can opt for these colours if you enjoy darker shades or would like a dark themed kitchen. However, if you have a restricted amount of natural light coming in and have a smaller space- it is best advised to use light or bright colours either in monochrome or in pairs with other light colours. You can use colours like white with light grey, light grey in monochrome, mint green or even powder blue to create a bright and airy space. You can also pair these colours with wooden laminates or stone finish laminates for a more playful, yet timeless look if you are keen on creating a modern twist on classic kitchen style.

 

● Contrasting earthy tones and finishes

If you are someone who enjoys classic kitchen colours and does not want to experiment with too many colours, opting for earthy tones and finishes can be a great idea for you. Be it the pairing of elegant and earthy colours like olive green and off white, or the usage of laminates with wooden grains, paired with glass and white- you can opt for minimal yet elegant design and colour schemes that are often a part of a timeless kitchen design. Forest green or earthy tones of brown, paired with lighter wooden grains, stone finish or off-white also makes an excellent theme for a kitchen if you have a large, well-lit kitchen.

 

● Modern stone finishes

Merino Laminates (Best Decorative Laminates & Surface Solution | Merino Laminates) offers an exciting range of stone finishes both in matte and glossy, as this is one trend that is really here to stay! Be it Cerro Marble, a matte Luvih laminate that is great for those who want a white sleek, marble look or Allies Micas-a darker glossy laminate that looks like a dark patterned stone- you can take your pick depending on the theme and aesthetic that you have zeroed upon. You can use these laminates along with neutral colours like white, offwhite, black or grey in order to create a pleasant, well balanced kitchen patterns that are timeless and a treat to the eyes.

● Classic super glossy laminates

The retro kitchens are back in trend and how! From flamboyant kitchen colour schemes like lime and cardinal to pastel pairs of celestial blue and white- you can see retro kitchen themes make a comeback in a big way. A pop of colour with a widespread usage of a neutral colour or a pattern or a vibrant and expansive mix of colours in super glossy finish used across the kitchen are trends we are seeing and loving across the globe. This adds more life, character and makes your kitchen a more fun space. The Gloss Meister range (High Gloss PU+ Coating Panels – Gloss Meister | Merino Laminates) from Merino offers super glossy mirror like laminates that offer an exceptionally sleek finish, which is also scratch resistant and easy to maintain, thus making it a perfect choice for your kitchen cabinets.
