Colourful Kitchen Decor Ideas Featuring Replacement Cabinet Doors and More!

Whether you’re a true maximalist at heart or you’re simply looking for ways to incorporate splashes of your favourite colour into your kitchen in a way that feels supremely chic and stylish, here are some expert tips and tricks to keep in mind when you’re designing a kitchen space that will boost your mood every time you step inside.

5 Kitchen Decor Tips Using Replacement Cabinet Doors

1. Start with a pop of colour 

Incorporating a pop of colour into an otherwise light and neutral design scheme can create a space that feels confident yet understated. Choosing new replacement cabinet doors is a great way to introduce a dash of colour into your space regardless of whether you prefer dusky pinks, forest greens, or indigo blues. 

If you want to create a colourful kitchen that retains a sense of timelessness, classic shaker style kitchen doors can provide your whole design with a solid foundation. Choosing a matt blush pink or pistachio green can help you introduce colour in a subtle way, but this classic style also looks stunning in richer tones, including denim blue and sage green. 

2. Put together a maximalist tablescape

If you want to play with lots of different colours without committing to long-term design changes, putting together a maximalist tablescape is a brilliant place to start. From a bold patterned tablecloth to colourful glassware and crockery, here you can experiment with layering different hues and tones until you find a colour combination that speaks to your soul. 

When you have created a colour palette that suits your style in a small area of your kitchen, you could then start to apply it to the rest of your space by choosing rugs, blinds and decorative accessories with the same hues.

3. Incorporate curves in your cabinets  

When bold colours are incorporated into a design scheme incorrectly, it can start to make the space feel a little harsh or abrasive. To mitigate this, embracing curved lines and softer shapes can introduce a sculptural element into your design, which will encourage the eye to take in the whole space rather than getting stuck on harsh lines or stark colour changes.

Pro Tip: Curved elements don’t need to be a central focal point in order to successfully soften the edges of your kitchen. Everything from a circular rug to domed hurricane candle holders or even a rippled vase on a kitchen island can easily make an impact.

4. Lean into monochromatic chic 

Whether your favourite colour is blue, green or anything in between, layering different shades of the same colour can create a rich and opulent aesthetic that has depth without being too overwhelming.

In a gorgeous green space, keep things monochromatic, refined and elevated with splashes of lime or citrine to complement emerald and forest green tones. If your monochromatic space needs a bit of contrast, introducing a flash of cobalt blue through a single statement chair, table lamp or dinnerware set can easily create balance without taking the spotlight away from your favourite colour.

5. Choose playful accents 

If you want to keep your walls light and bright, choosing colourful accent pieces can also make an impact. So, you could choose to incorporate a flash of colour inside alcove shelving or choose colourful replacement cabinet doors in an otherwise white space. These areas of colour will become an immediate focal point and bring a sense of playfulness and fun to your kitchen.

Pro Tip: Even small colourful accents can impact the overall atmosphere in your kitchen. So, why not display your collection of colourful mugs, invest in a bright rug, or treat yourself to a fresh bunch of flowers every month and display them in a brightly coloured vase?
