The Best Colours for Small Kitchens
Making a small or galley kitchen feel larger with colour and finish.
In a small kitchen, spray every unit in one light warm tone rather than two, so the eye reads a single continuous surface instead of a broken one. Warm off white, pale greige and soft stone work best, and matching the wall colour to the units makes the room feel noticeably wider.
One colour, not two
Two tone schemes look striking in a large kitchen because there is room for contrast. In a galley kitchen the same contrast chops the room into sections and makes it read shorter. A single light tone across wall and base units keeps the surface continuous.
Blend the walls in
Painting the walls close to the unit colour removes the visual break between cabinetry and wall. It is the single most effective trick in a tight kitchen, and it is free if you are painting anyway.
Small details that help
A few practical choices add to the effect.
- Slim handles, or handleless rails, so nothing projects into the walkway
- Under cabinet lighting to remove shadow from the worktop
- A light worktop or spray granite finish to keep the run bright
- Open shelving in place of one wall unit to break up the bulk
