5 ways to style a cream kitchen
Why cream is one of the most versatile style options for your new kitchen
There’s a reason cream is a classic colour for kitchens.
This well-tested shade is fresh enough to make even the smallest kitchen feel light and spacious, but has a softer feel to it than bright white, making the room feel more like home.
Not to mention the fact that as a neutral shade, cream complements an extensive spectrum of colours and textures, meaning there’s room to adapt a cream kitchen to almost any sense of style.
With that in mind, we’ve highlighted five very different ways to style a cream kitchen so you can choose the option that best suits your tastes.
Modern minimalism
Give your cream kitchen a more contemporary feel by opting for smooth slab-style cabinet doors and matching with other neutral tones, like soothing grey tiling and light wooden floors. Give the look an on-trend twist by adding copper-tone pendant lamps, lush green houseplants and industrial-chic bar stools.
Pop of colour
Add a hint of brightness to your kitchen by choosing a bold accent colour to contrast with pale cream cabinets. There are a number of ways you can incorporate your chosen hue into the room, from colourful splashbacks and soft-furnishings to a full feature wall.
Light & airy
Keep your décor scheme simple by matching cream cabinets with walls, flooring and decorative accessories in other light shades of cream and beige, creating a pure, serene feel that makes a smaller room feel more open.
Quirky character
Bring personality into your kitchen with a combination of dark feature walls, geometric prints and open shelving filled with an eclectic variety of decorative accessories, books and keepsakes. Though this mix of elements may look overwhelming in another kitchen, the calming nature of cream cabinets ties the room together and creates a sense of balance.
Keep it traditional
Last but not least, cream is the perfect choice for a more traditional kitchen, particularly when combined with luxurious materials like sleek granite worktops, artfully exposed brickwork and grand wooden beams.
