Best of the Week: 25 Kitchens With Colour
2. Location: Sydney, NSWWhy we love it: It may have been tempting to keep this kitchen all white, but the owner of this Victorian worker’s cottage headed in another direction entirely – using different colours to break up the bulky appearance of the space. We love the insertion of sunny yellow between the more subdued yet closely related shades on the joinery.
3. Location: Sydney, NSWWhy we love it: This is similar to the previous kitchen, but dialled up a notch. We are fans of the pairing of Dulux ‘Goyder Green’ on the island facing and Benjamin Moore ‘Tate Olive’ on the walls. These colours create a snug cottage appeal in a relatively generous kitchen area.
6. Location: Melbourne, VictoriaWhy we love it: It’s not easy to find a 1970s-style kitchen that doesn’t make you want to hide under a flokati rug. This interpretation, in a glamorous ’70s home in Melbourne by Atticus & Milo, uses colour blocking to such great effect, especially the black, which allows the yellow to pop.
13. Location: Manchester, UKWhy we love it: And just in case you wondered what it would look like to go the whole hog colour-wise, we present you with this kitchen in Manchester. We love the fulsome way blue has been embraced, but note the inclusion of a white butler’s sink and brighter accessories to break up the scheme.
15. Location: Perth, WAWhy we love it: With all that concrete, the kitchen in this Perth home risked evoking a rather utilitarian feel… until the introduction of sunshine yellow in the overhead cabinets. An inspired choice by the team behind it at Klopper and Davis Architects. We’re also loving how the colour is echoed in the pillar outside.
25. Location: Manly Vale, NSWWhy we love it: A tranquil palette of soft blue, white and touches of timber sets the perfect tone for a beachside home.

1. Location: Copenhagen, DenmarkWhy we love it: It’s not often a kitchen looks like a calming, serene place, but this sea-foam green is absolutely charming. So too are its cut-out drawer pulls with glimpses through to unstained timber.
