Blue and White Kitchen Ideas

A blue and white color palette is a classic combination that can be used in many ways to enhance a kitchen. Blue and white can be paired with practically any style of kitchen or decor.

Blue Painted Kitchen Cabinets

Painting your kitchen cabinets blue can add a unique look to an otherwise white room. You can even achieve different aesthetics with the shade and style of blue you choose.

If you want an elegant or classy look, it’s a good idea to steer towards darker blues. Both navy blue and midnight blue have a nearly black look but still provides a toned-down, colorful splash against your white walls. Kitchens that use dark and light colors together cleanly lean towards modern design. This can a particularly great choice if you have stainless steel appliances.

If you want a more rustic or farmhouse look, lighter blues will help pull this off. Pale blues such as baby blue and powder blue are the standard choice for this look but you can also give this look at try with deep aqua. Rustic styles are especially attractive if your kitchen already has natural components such as hardwood flooring or wooden ceiling beams. Pale blue cabinets can also be used in a beach-style house which is especially if you have an open concept kitchen that leads into a living room.

Sometimes homeowners even want to go as far as to make the painted cabinets look a little more dated by using techniques such as creating faux barn wood or using intentional streaking. If you aren’t sure how to do these ideas, though, you probably won’t get the results you’re looking for.

When you’re choosing blue paint colors for your kitchen, it’s best to stick with one shade. If you’re losing multiple shades of blue can quickly create a clashing and potentially unattractive design. The best way to implement bright, unique colors on your kitchen cabinets is to have a level of uniformity.

Matching Blue and White Kitchen Cabinets

We mentioned earlier that you don’t want to overdo it when picking a shade of blue. If you want a truly one-of-a-kind design, though, mixing and matching white and blue cabinets can go a long way. A great way to pull this off is to use blue for the cabinets under the counter and white for the cabinets above the counter.

If you want to use white and blue on the same cabinet door, a blue cabinet with a white handle can be a cozy and beautiful combination. If you’re designing cabinets on an island, you can use a two-tone effect. For example, you could have blue main cabinets with touches such as white legs, white countertops, or even white shelves.

When you’re considering mixing blue and white directly, it’s important to consider contrast. If you blend navy blue or midnight blue with white, it’s going to give you a stark contrast with a more dramatic appearance. For that atmosphere, it’s better to use plain white rather than off-white colors like an eggshell shade.

If you want something more subtle, you can use softer blues alongside the whites in your kitchen.

Blue and white kitchens are often chosen due to the calming sensation attributed to the two colors.

White Kitchen with Blue Island

A completely white room can look a little sterile. Even if you’re going for a minimalist design, this can be a problem. However, if you want to add a bright touch to an otherwise completely white room, you can add a blue island to your kitchen. Since these are typically placed in the center of the kitchen, it makes for a great focal point as well.

Once again, the shade of blue you use will set the tone. This time, you’ll want to take your kitchen’s current design into consideration. This project is usually done after designing the bulk of the kitchen, so you’ll want to match that design rather than make a choice that clashes against it.

First, think about the design features of your kitchen. If you have an all-white room and steel appliances, you could use darker blues as we mentioned earlier. The island design itself will also play a role. For instance, if you have a dark blue island with metal hardware or a glass countertop, you’re going fit that modern design well.

Jumping back to a more rustic or farmhouse design, pale blues with natural elements such as wood countertops and legs work well together. Two-tone islands work well for this effect.

You can also play with the overall design of the island itself. For instance, a smaller island with an oversized counter can give your kitchen a unique look. An island that has a nook to cleanly slide bar stools under can make for a great spot to entertain family and friends.

Blue Kitchen Walls with White Cabinets

Painting your kitchen walls blue and using white cabinets are great ways to give your kitchen a pop of color for a brighter look. When it comes down to the exact atmosphere of a room, though, this can depend greatly on the shade of blue you choose for your kitchen walls.

If you are looking for a more rustic or farmhouse design, look for lighter colors. Powder blue is a popular choice for this but pastel blue and baby blue are also great options. Pale colors like these don’t create an overwhelmingly bright room but their light shades do make a room look bigger and more open. If you have a lot of natural light, these colors can pop even more. To complete the rustic look, wood accents such as wooden bar stools or countertops can add a natural finishing touch to your kitchen. Light wood such as pine, birch, or cedar fit especially well with this decor because it complements the light shades of your walls and cabinets nicely.

Darker blues such as navy or cobalt can also give you a more elegant look to your kitchen. There aren’t too many chances to use dark colors like these because they tend to make rooms look smaller. However, when they’re offset by large, lighter accents such as white cabinets can brighten the look up and lessen their room-shrinking perspective. These darker wall colors also work well with marble countertops if you’re looking to tie together a sophisticated room design.

An easy way to change the look of your kitchen without spending too much is by changing the paint color. This especially works well on kitchens with white cabinets, which makes it easy to pair it with virtually any paint color of you choice. This kitchen is a good example of such, as all its cabinets are white and it uses a simple black granite for its counters. The walls were painted in a light blue color, adding a refreshing cool tone to balance out the strong orange tones from the teak wood flooring.

This modern kitchen design definitely does not shy away from using bold and bright colors. The kitchen is a definite stand-out among all the other areas of the house, as almost everything in the kitchen has a bright cobalt blue finish. Cobalt blue walls, doors, baseboard and even glossy laminates. White porcelain tiles for the floors and white solid surface helps balance the vibrancy of the colors, adding a bit of contrast to help you identify different surfaces.

Another vantage point of the modern kitchen shown above. Blue and white kitchen designs that use bold colors such as this one do not always appeal to every home buyer.

The cabinets all maintain its original all-white paint finish, but the gorgeous Turkish blue color is applied on the walls, making the cabinets and the interior moldings pop-out well.
