Bringing colour to your kitchen: How to make your plan work

Colours reflect trends, moods and preferences, flatter us or make us look pale. In furniture, colours are essential to making us feel comfortable. But frequently people don’t dare to add a splash of colour. They worry that they will get tired of the colour scheme they chose for their kitchen. Nolte Küchen addresses this worry with its mat lacquer concept: This concept lets you combine your favourite colours stylishly without making clashing missteps. Anything you like and anything that expresses your personality is possible. Colour gives a room structure and will turn your kitchen into a personal statement. Beige and grey are the trendy alternative to white. They promise elegance, staying power and are easy to combine.

As is often true in life: Less is more! In general, you should combine at most two hues. We also recommend using materials like wood, metal or stone for your worktop or splashback as a connecting element. It is important to avoid using colours randomly and instead employ them systematically. Select a base colour, then add eye catchers. Colours also allow you to visually divide a room into different areas. This is, for instance, helpful for open-plan designs. Don't forget to include carpets, curtains, seating furniture and decoration in your plan. If you want to make very sure that everything matches, it is often helpful to create a “moodboard” from colour and material samples to get a preview of the final result. This will make sure your plan works! We have collected some of our favourite combinations for you. Enjoy!
