Blue
Promotes tranquillity and relaxation
Aquatic shades such as sky blue calm the mind and have a positive impact on the psyche. From a style perspective, injecting blue into the colour palette works for both traditional and modern kitchen spaces. You might choose to partner a royal blue glass worktop with mustard yellow walls, or a teal splashback surrounded by clean white units.
Yellow / Orange
Uplifting and energising
A splash of citrus in your room will make it feel light and sunny, boosting your happy hormones. Linked to positivity and energy, these colours enhance creativity, perfect for the kitchen!
Perhaps you’d like to pair a lemon yellow splashback with your grey cabinets, or maybe you’d prefer to brighten up your white space with a bold tangerine worktop. Whatever look you’re going for, you are guaranteed to find something that fits!
Red
Sparks creativity and conversation
A red glass – not to be confused with a glass of red – splashback set against gloss white kitchen units can be very striking.
Synonymous with love and friendship, adding a pop of red into your kitchen’s decor will create a warm space to socialise. Too much red can be distracting, so partner your accents of red with calming tones of white, cream or beige.
Grey
The colour of compromise
Symbolic of balance and stability, grey calms the mind from the stresses of the outside world. A low-key, reserved colour, it isn’t the centre of attention – rather, it can be easily paired with a variety of other colours such as mustard, coral, navy and teal.
If you like a black and white monotone, grey offers a wonderful balance that makes the monotone less stark. Grey glass is clean, minimalist and sophisticated; for subdued style, go grey.
Black
Sleek and modern
A black glass splashback or worktop offset against white units and walls oozes sophistication. Ideal for a contemporary kitchen, this two-tone monochrome style offers a high-end look.
Be mindful of using too much black throughout your kitchen’s interior design as this can be dark and gloomy, so pair it with lighter tones for a brighter, modern space.
Lighting
Balance of productivity and style
Your choice of kitchen lighting will instantly set the mood in the room. Too harsh, and it will look clinical – too dim, and safe cooking is compromised. Combining the right type of lighting with sleek glass worktops is a recipe for perfection.
Under-cupboard LED lights are ideal for task lighting as they create direct focus on the worktop for food preparation, while illuminating the coloured glass.
Ambient pendant lighting hanging from the ceiling over a kitchen island or breakfast counter will be guaranteed to get your guests talking – alternatively, you might opt for spotlights concealed into the ceiling for a neat finish.
