If you\u2019re indecisive, choosing what colour to paint your kitchen can be frustrating. It\u2019s really difficult to picture what the colour will look like. And every time you see a new colour in a trendy kitchen, you change your mind. But being indecisive about your kitchen colour gives you valuable time to really consider all the options and get it right. Plus, if you can\u2019t make a quick decision, it might show you how much the choice matters to you, so it\u2019s worth investing some time into looking at all the possibilities. Let us take you through the kitchen colour trends of 2022 to help you decide.\u00a0

Natural greens

We have to start with green, as it\u2019s the must-have colour of 2022. We have positive connotations with the colour green as it is the colour of nature (which has risen up the agenda in 2022). Because it symbolises nature, green is one of the most restful and calming colours and can help to reduce stress. Green is also a clean and refreshing colour: perfect for a kitchen.

In the past, green has often been synonymous with a traditional-style kitchen, but in 2022 it\u2019s also being used in contemporary and modern kitchens. There\u2019s no doubt that green can be trendy and also classic and timeless.

Green shades range from popular sage to bright emerald. Lighter greens have grey, cream or white mixed into them. The lighter shades of green are perfect for a small kitchen as they help to make the room feel bigger.\u00a0

Stylish black

For those of you who are feeling a bit tired of the ever-popular all-white shiny kitchen, this will interest you. 2022 has been seeing a move away from pristine white and wooden scandi kitchens to chic black appliances, sophisticated black marble worktops, opulent black cabinetry and black backdrops. This is also reflected in the fact that goth fashion has gone mainstream again in 2022, with celebrities including a large amount of black in their stunning kitchens. There\u2019s no doubt that black brings out metallic shades elegantly, whether that\u2019s brass fixtures and fittings or metallic artwork on the wall. If you dare to go black with your kitchen, it can make a real style statement.

Deep blues

Blues continue to be a kitchen trend for 2022. Hale blue has been popular throughout the last few years. But richer, deeper blues are up and coming for 2022. Think cobalt, sapphire and peacock blue for visual impact. Dark blues will give a smart look to your kitchen, especially when paired with brass fittings. Whether you have a contemporary or traditional kitchen, blue is a safe choice.

Sunflower yellow\u00a0

Sunflower yellow in the kitchen is for those who are bored with the most popular kitchen colours and want an antidote to the ever-popular grey. Be inspired by Mondrian art, which uses primary colours to stylish effect. The kitchen doesn\u2019t have to be completely yellow (all yellow cabinets might be a bit too much first thing in the morning!). Touches of yellow in a neutral kitchen will add warmth and it\u2019s another shade that will help to make a small kitchen seem bigger.

Lemons are used for decoration in kitchens to give a refreshing, clean, happy feel (you\u2019ll see bowls of lemons on kitchen counters in interior design magazines). So also consider a stylish lemon print or painting to hang on the wall.\u00a0

Two-tone patterns

Although this isn\u2019t a colour, it\u2019s something to consider before you start painting your kitchen. Two-tone kitchens are where there is a colour scheme of two different colours and it could take many forms. You could paint the top kitchen cabinets a different colour from the bottom cabinets. Or perhaps the kitchen island cupboards are a different colour from the surrounding cabinets.

If you choose two contrasting colours, you can make a real statement. And you can include colours on-trend for 2022. Examples include: deep blue and white, yellow and grey, emerald green and white, or black and white.\u00a0

A touch of pink\u00a0

Don\u2019t worry, we aren\u2019t thinking Barbie-pink. Rather rose to blush. A muted, stylish, pastel pink. Touches of pink go really well with grey and on-trend emerald green, which stop it feeling overly saccharine. Little touches might include: pink gloss chevron tiles, pink velvet seats on bar stools, powder pink taps, pink cushions, a pink wall clock, or two-tone pink cabinetry.

We hope that we\u2019ve inspired you to consider some new kitchen colours, or confirm your favourite shade. We all spend a lot of time in our kitchens (particularly if it\u2019s open plan) so you want to make the right choice. Order some sample paint colours for the kitchen, take a look at some interior design images, and get started! Changing the colour of your kitchen is sure to make a big impact.\u00a0
