Your kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in the house. Not only is it used for cooking family meals, but it’s also a place for the kids to finish their homework, for friends to laugh over drinks and for hosting an intimate date night with your favourite person.
With so much going on in such a busy space, it makes sense to introduce a soothing, tasteful colour palette to keep your mind calm and give you a sense of peace. Or a selection of bold and daring colours to enhance the energy of your home. Not sure which option to take? We’ve put together the best colours for your kitchen so you can keep up to date with Adelaide’s kitchen trends.

Dusty pink
Once only designated to elderly, tired-looking bathrooms, dusty pink is making a comeback – and this time, it’s gracing our kitchens.
Unlike strong hot or bubble-gum pinks, this softer pink offers a warm charm and elegance to your cooking space. It’s also a more playful alternative to stale grey as they both provide a neutral base. But pink is more inviting and comforting, while grey can be perceived as cold and sterile.

Striking red
Over the past few years, stronger and bolder colours have become more popular in Adelaide kitchens, such as dramatic black or dazzling emerald green. In 2023 the trend is set to continue with even more daring tones – like striking red.
Be adventurous and pair a red island with a gentle pink kitchen to add some real punch. Or tone it down with light benches and walls. Not brave enough to go all the way? Opt for red accents – a modern red kettle, toaster or even a unique piece of artwork – to add a pop of colour without the commitment.
Soothing green
Soft green tones like sage rose in popularity in 2022, and this year proves no different – soothing shades of green are set to stay in 2023.
Green is renowned for its calming effect, making it perfect for hectic households that are always on the go. It’s also an ideal substitute for other neutral colours like beige or grey, which are often overused in many Australian homes.

Experiment with different shades of green for a monochromatic kitchen that is completely unique and striking. Or keep the benches, island, and walls light in a pale tone, and paint your cabinets a gentle green.

Coastal blue
Invite the beach into your home. Inspired by the affluent homes in the Hamptons, airy, light blue kitchens give your living space a calming coastal feel – without the hefty beachside price.
Looking for a quick refresh of your cold white kitchen? Sky blue pairs elegantly with white and off-white, so you can easily update your cabinets or island with a quick coat of blue paint. Add some wicker, bamboo and rustic wooden furniture to give your blue kitchen a touch of warmth and depth.
