Colour in the Kitchen
From walls to cabinetry and splashbacks, kitchens provide a wealth of opportunity to get creative with colour.

Green Dream
In this bold, architecturally designed Melbourne home, floor to ceiling cabinetry in Dulux Dollar provides maximum impact, and imparts an unmistakably moody atmosphere into the space. Hardwearing and versatile, this deep green references Australian native foliage, and is so well suited to hardworking spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Classic Neutrals
White kitchen cabinetry is always a popular choice, but to avoid an overly sterile look, consider off whites with warm undertones, or even a soft beige, such as Dulux Hog Bristle half, as seen here in this charming kitchen in regional Victoria.
Classic timber benchtops and handles pair perfectly with this versatile neutral, lending depth and warmth to the space. A contained block of Dulux Oakleaf around the range hood provides a fun focal point in this sun-bathed family kitchen.

Elegantly Cool
This renovated home in Sydney channels country farmhouse style, with period features and a large traditional kitchen at the heart of the home. Here, Dulux Miller Mood gives the cabinetry a crisp finish, tying in perfectly with cool grey Carrara marble benchtops. Brushed gold tapware and hardware lends warmth to this cool, calm palette.

Fresh + Fun
In this converted warehouse apartment in Sydney, a tired ‘90s kitchen has been given a fresh update with Dulux Lucea - a joyful sky blue that brings so much vibrancy into the space. By simply re-painting existing cabinet doors and changing a few handles, the personality of this apartment has been totally transformed.
This fun colour treatment proves that even in small spaces, bringing colour into the home contributes so much to the mood of a space.
