1. SOFT YELLOWS
'We think the key to a happy kitchen is to have fun with color – whether that’s in painting the units an uplifting shade or using colorful, textured accessories. We simply adore color so we knew we wanted to make a bold choice in this yellow kitchen,' explains Anna Burles, creative director of Run for the Hills.
2. SAGE GREENS
Green kitchens are known for their relaxing, calming qualities, and that comes up time and time again in dopamine design. It's a color that's reminiscent of nature, growth, and fresh beginnings, all of which are going to boost your mood.
3. WARM EARTHY REDS
When you think of colors to avoid in a kitchen, at first we're sure red comes to mind. And we get it, it sounds like a really bold shade but down at the more orangey, brown, terracotta end of the red spectrum, you will find some gorgeous soft shades that will boost your mood without overwhelming the space.
4. PALE PINKS
The effervescent pink kitchen. Just looking at these playful spaces fills us with joy. And honestly, a few years ago we would have warned against fully committing to a pink kitchen, thinking it could just be a short-lived kitchen trend, but they have stood their ground and have now become a classic shade for kitchen cabinets.
5. SKY BLUES
Walk into a blue kitchen and you'll instantly feel a lift in your mood. Similarly to green, it's a color that appears a lot in nature, it's a very calming and serene shade that's very easy for the eye to register.
