Fresh inspiration to give your kitchen a modern, timeless update
Thinking about repainting your kitchen but not sure which colour to go with? You’re not alone. One of the most exciting — and overwhelming — parts of a kitchen refresh is choosing a colour scheme that feels stylish, personal, and lasting.
At JJ Painting Services, we’ve seen the full spectrum over the years. But heading into 2025, some clear favourites are emerging — and they’re surprisingly versatile.
Let’s break down the top kitchen colour trends homeowners across Oldham, Altrincham, Knutsford and the rest of Lancashire are loving right now.
🌿 1. Earthy Greens
Sage, Olive, and Deep Forest
Soft, nature-inspired greens are everywhere — and for good reason. They add calm, elegance, and warmth without overwhelming the space.
We’re seeing shades like Sage Green, Treron (by Farrow & Ball), and Green Smoke pop up in both traditional and modern homes. These tones work especially well in hand-painted kitchens, where their subtle variation adds real depth.
✅ Perfect for: Country kitchens, homes with natural light, or wood floors.
🩶 2. Warm Greys and Greige
Subtle, sophisticated neutrals
Cool greys are taking a backseat. In their place? Warm, taupe-like tones that blend beige and grey — often called greige. They’re classy, calm, and more inviting than stark white or stone grey.
Look out for shades like Elephant’s Breath, Ammonite, or Slipper Satin.
✅ Perfect for: Open plan kitchens or rooms where you want a timeless, high-end look.
💙 3. Moody Blues
Navy, Midnight, and Ink
If you want drama, depth, and a real statement, navy is still going strong. We’ve done stunning kitchen resprays in Stiffkey Blue and Hague Blue — paired with brass handles, they look incredible.
✅ Perfect for: Feature islands, contrast cabinetry, or luxury townhouses.
🤍 4. Off-Whites and Creamy Neutrals
Soft whites that aren’t clinical
While pure white can feel cold or stark, soft off-whites are timeless. They reflect light beautifully and make small kitchens feel larger without looking sterile.
Top picks include Pointing, White Tie, and Strong White — all of which add brightness while still feeling cosy.
✅ Perfect for: Smaller kitchens, rentals, or period homes where you want to preserve charm.
☕ 5. Deep Taupe and Mushroom
Earthy elegance that’s hard to pin down
These rich, mid-toned neutrals are becoming more popular with clients who want something understated but stylish. They’re warm, sophisticated, and go beautifully with stone worktops or brass fittings.
✅ Perfect for: Homes with traditional features, open shelving, or a rustic feel.
🎨 What About Two-Tone Kitchens?
We’re seeing more homeowners combine two colours — often light on top, dark below. Think:
- Cornforth White uppers + Railings lowers
- Lichen green cabinets + cream walls
- Warm greige units + deep blue islands
This layered look adds depth and personality without overwhelming the space.
