Pink kitchens: From pastels to dusky tones, check out these lush designs

Posted on 29th March 2022

I’ve recently noticed that homeowners are getting braver with colour when it comes to their cabinetry choice. It started with blue, which has shifted to green. However, I’m now seeing gorgeous pink kitchens becoming more and more popular. There’s everything from baby pastels, bubblegum, to earthy shades with a hint of taupe. So let me show you just how fabulous they can look.

OK, full disclosure: my favourite colour is pink, so I’m going to be a little biased about these kitchens.

Pink really is a versatile shade. It can make a real statement when used for all the kitchen cabinetry, or can be more of feature when mixed with other colours such as sage, navy or grey. It also looks good in both country and contemporary schemes, whether that’s with wooden worktops and Shaker-style doors, or handleless designs with a marble worksurface.

I sadly don’t have a pink kitchen – and to be honest, I didn’t even think of it when designing the space a few years ago. It was all about dark grey kitchens at the time, which are making a comeback, by the way.

I have, however managed to get quite a lot of pink accents in my space, including my splashback, bar stools and some nice cushions. I’ve also included a pink bookcase and wooden play kitchen for my little girl – I’m living my dreams through her.

So, if I were doing my kitchen now, pink would definitely be on the wishlist – I’d just have to find a way of pitching it to my husband. A gallery, such as this, would be very helpful indeed.

Which is why I’m hoping it will inspire and give you the confidence to go for the colour of your dreams…
