Trending Colour combinations for kitchens

Merino Laminates, December 7, 2024 Updated On : April 29, 2025

The kitchen in every home is always buzzing with people and is subjected to a lot of activity and wear and tear. It is one of the busiest parts of a home and hence, the design should not only be tailored to be functional and efficient but it should also be aesthetically appealing to the users. It is highly recommended to go for glossy laminates for kitchens as they are easy to clean and scratch resistant, thus increasing the longevity of the finish, even though it is subject to a lot of wear and tear over a period of time. Merino Laminates offers an exciting range of colours and a superior glossy finish in the Gloss Meister range. It has a wide array of colours to choose from and here are some colour combinations that are trending and loved across the globe: 

1. Neutral colours 

If you are someone who enjoys a minimal and simple space, neutral colours should be your go to. Some people prefer to work in environments with minimal colours and patterns and hence, they prefer a clean, minimal design for a kitchen that is well equipped and optimised for functionality and efficiency. If you have ample natural ventilation, you can go for a mix of black with dark wood combination- a combination that is enigmatic, minimal yet makes a power statement. You can also look at combining beige and brown to create a warm, classic kitchen design. 

2. Light colour schemes 

A kitchen must have ample task lighting that is paired with natural light and ventilation to create an efficient and comfortable working environment. Hence, If there is less natural light in your kitchen or if you love a space  that is bright and airy, a light colour scheme would be ideal for you. Shades of green, right from a light sap green to deep olive tones, paired with beige or white makes for a great cool coloured combination  for the kitchen. Similarly, shades of blue, ranging from powder blue to cobalt blue paired white white, off white or light wood respectively make for beautiful, trending kitchen colour combinations that will help you create an elegant timeless space. 

If you are someone who loves creating bold and striking spaces, cobalt blue paired with black or grey and white also makes for a dramatic and gorgeous kitchen space that surely makes a statement. 

3. Dark colour schemes

If you enjoy making a bold statement, have a large, airy kitchen or even an open kitchen, you can use a dark colour scheme to create an extravagant kitchen design. Many people also prefer darker colours as they dont show any visible stains which are an inevitable part of a functional kitchen. 

Pairing light and dark wood to create a monochromatic colour scheme, while playing with different shades is a classic and elegant option to stick with. Beige paired with maroon or dark purple also makes for a trending colour combination that is often preferred by those who love deeper  and warmer colour combinations. Terracotta and olive green or mustard yellow and burnt orange also make for a great combination that would make a space look inviting and cozy. 

We hope that these colour combinations that are trending across the globe, lead you to the perfect colour scheme for your kitchen. The right combination paired with sensible spatial planning, ample storage and functionality can make your kitchen a dream to work in!
