Infinitely versatile, neutral colours are anything but ordinary and our edit of stylish neutral kitchens proves there is so much more to this pared-back palette than simply shades of white and beige.

For those coveting a neutral kitchen aesthetic, a spectrum of coconut, shell, latte, taupe, terracotta, and more await - and when paired with natural materials such as wood and the organic beauty of marble and quartz, there’s no denying a neutral kitchen will preserve its style for years to come.

In an ode to the colour palette, we’re sharing a curated edit of neutral kitchen projects that we adore to spark inspiration for your space.

Once you’ve set your sights on a neutral kitchen, how do you choose ‘the one’? Like any interior design project, it’s key to begin by understanding the lighting within your space to help you seek out the most appropriate neutral colours for kitchen walls and joinery. This provides a canvas for the rest of your interior, so getting these right is a great place to begin before moving on to flooring, fixtures and fittings.  

Two-tone neutral kitchen design

Mix light and dark to create a desirable two-tone look. An island is a wonderful place to add a contrasting colour to the surrounding cabinetry.

Minimal neutral kitchen design

For less-is-more interiors, invite neutral decor into the kitchen by adding depth to fresh white cabinetry. Whether painted or tiled, dressing walls with subtle, neutral shades create a soft and natural look.

Greige neutral kitchen design

A blend of grey and beige, meet ‘greige’, a diverse colour that lends itself beautifully to both warm and cool colour schemes, perfect in the kitchen.

Whether it’s a sophisticated deco space you desire or your kitchen is calling for a little farmhouse charm, neutral kitchen inspiration is abundant with designers all over the globe harnessing the organic beauty of a neutral palette.

Elegant and fresh, let statement marble lead your neutral kitchen palette by effortlessly highlighting natural hues elsewhere in your design, accented by solid brass cabinet hardware and accessories.

For a refined country approach to the neutral kitchen trend, choose details like rustic wooden panels and traditional brass hardware to add warmth and create a welcoming, lived-in luxury feel.

Designer Audrée Kemp Bélanger at AKB Design, advises, “A kitchen in neutral tones will always be elegant. Pay special attention to the many textures and details that will be part of the kitchen to really bring the room to life.”

To recreate this tranquil and elegant design, opt for shell white, classic oak and sophisticated brass to bring your space to life.

Creating a light and bright feel, neutral kitchen cabinets aid in making a space appear bigger and so the shade of paint along with the cabinet hardware makes all the difference to the overall design.

Interior designer Meg McSherry notes, “A neutral kitchen works best when it has a dimensional look. Focus on the materials in the space. Make sure they have different textures or finishes, for example, if you have satin cabinets, choose glossy neutral kitchen tiles to keep the design interesting.”
