Blue Kitchens

liliblu — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 16:42:57 GMT

I've mentioned many times that I love most shades of blue. I'll be in my home for two (2) years in April and I've gravitated to a lot of grays an blues while decorating.My white cabinets were in excellet condition so I kept them. But I love looking at possible options for the future.

Navy blue to me is classic and timeless. It works well with several colors and styles. Your hardware can be silver, gold, or black. It all works with navy.

Or you can choose a lighter or brighter shade that livens up a kitchen but still look great 10 years from now.

I also like the blue island trend. It adds color and contrast but is still timeless.

Colored appliances are usually iffy for me but I really like this range. It pops and is a great contrast to the white cabinets and counter tops. I'll just ignore the yellow table and ceiling.

I just really love the powder blue cabinets in this kitchen. If navy is too much for you this is a great option.

I think I would get tired of the dark navy cabinets. I do however like the light blue/gray cabinets. I love shades of blue/gray.

I like the last pic the best. The blues in kitchens is unique.

@liliblu I am a big blue fan too. My main bathroom in every house I have lived in has always been blue since I have been married.

I once had my kitchen walls painted blue, but I have cherry cabinets. I've noticed that blue is getting really popular. I have been looking for a new bathroom vanity and many of them are navy blue. That surprised me.

I love all the blue kitchens you posted, especially the first and last one, and that range is to die for.

There are many posters on this forum who do like like blue for decorating, but not me. Blue beats the heck out of beige and gray any day, IMO.

Thanks for posting.

Blue in an interior color I like too.

My kitchens have always been blue. I have white cabinets and when we built this home in 1996, we had navy laminate counter tops. I have upgraded to a black/grey/white granite, updated cabinets that are still white and use blue as my accent color.

I am obsessed with collecting cobalt glass and I have it almost everywhere through my home.

The last backsplash is too much for me in that big of a space, but I do like the blue!

If I'm going to have a navy blue kitchen, I prefer the cabinets to be a true (darker) navy blue.

My kitchen is blue and gray, and I've always had a blue kitchen. I like all of the pics posted.

I like all of these. I just had my kitchen redone and I had my upper cabinets painted a soft white and the lower ones barn red. I love it!! I have a copper farm sink with copper faucets. Antique bronze light fixtures with Edison bulbs. The handles are antique bronze with copper bands on each end. Everyone that sees it says it is gorgeous and they are so surprised because of the red!!

I do not have much blue in my home right now. Of the kitchens posted, I like the first one best, but I don’t like the wood range hood with the blue. When we moved in our current house, it had white kitchen cabinets with a wallpaper border that was a French blue country pastoral scene with blue & white stripes on the wall. It looked nice, but I prefer warm tones so when we remodeled the blue kitchen border & wallpaper were removed.

I LOVE blue! My favorite color. When I gutted my 60 year old kitchen last year, it was a big focus! Have white cabinets, brushed silver cabinet handles (not a fan of brass/gold), stainless appliances, gray tiles & a mother of pearl white/gray/blue mini tile accent backsplash, and blue quartz countertops kinda leaning in color to the first picture. I'm still obsessed! They're all pretty that you posted!

The poster who did red lower cabinets sounds interesting too-bet its gorgeous!

Photo #1 is my choice, hands down. It works because the blue is such a percentage that it doesn't overwhelm plus it appears there is lots of natural light to prevent the dark blue from making the space dour.

More like this?

Or this?

Yes I like those much better....especially the second one.

I think all the shades of blue in the kitchens are lovely and give the areas warmth. I wouldn't mind having a kitchen of blue, there are many shades to choose from. My living and dining room walls are similar to a Wedgewood blue and I love how they look. They were painted off white in the past and the blue made a big difference in a good way.

I changed my cabinet handles from gold to a brushed nickel. A small change that made a huge difference in the look of the kitchen.

I'm always very honest about my views on the color blue... I find it beautiful in almost all shades and yet don't care much for it used in home decor other than for accessories and accents. I'm sure all of these kitches are quite nice, but color aside, none of them really checks off most of my boxes.

I have always loved blue. I especially love a Colonial blue. I had lots of blue decor in my home for decades. I got tired of so much of it, and have removed most of the blue from my home decor over the last few years.

I like the changes I've made, I'll always have some blue, and will always love it. I figure if we ever move (been here 26 years) I might be ready to work more blue back into the new place.

I’m not a big blue fan but I find myself drawn to navy lately. I think the navy cabinets are lovely but I would be afraid I would tire of them quickly. But maybe not.
I would choose the second picture, I like the navy with the light counter tops.
I do have blues in my dining room but just in the rugs and other accents.
