Who doesn’t love a kitchen?
It’s where delicious creations come to life. It’s the first place we head each morning for a coffee, and the spot where we gather with friends and family. Most importantly, it’s the heart of the home.
If your kitchen needs some love, you’re in the right place. Here are our top tips for painting your kitchen and choosing the perfect colour.
Think of the bigger picture
And by “bigger picture”, we mean the rest of your home.
When choosing a kitchen colour, think about the atmosphere you want to create, how much light and space you’re working with, and whether you’re committing to a full renovation or a simple refresh.
Before diving into your favourite Tint shade, consider how your kitchen will flow with the rest of your home. If other rooms are bold and expressive, you might continue that into the kitchen—or you might choose to balance things out with something softer.
There are no rules—just go with what feels right for your space.
Go big… and bold
Bring personality into your kitchen with colour. You might experiment with playful tones, lean into warm hues, or keep things timeless with soft neutrals.
Warm colours are even said to encourage appetite—perfect for a kitchen setting. Some favourites include Settle Petal (a dusty pink) or Camping Grounds for a nature-inspired feel.
From cool greys to crisp whites, the options are endless.
If you can’t go big, go for little touch-ups with BIG impact
If painting your entire kitchen isn’t an option, smaller updates can still make a big difference.
Try painting cabinets, cupboards, shelves, or trim to refresh the space. It’s a chance to get creative without overwhelming the room.
Match your walls to your appliances
Your appliances can influence your colour choices more than you might think.
Dark or vintage-style appliances can either stand out or blend in depending on your wall colour. Stainless steel finishes offer a different look again.
If you’re doing a full kitchen makeover, you can match your walls to your appliances—or the other way around. There’s no right or wrong approach, but it’s worth considering before you start painting.
All that’s left now is deciding what you’ll cook first in your newly refreshed kitchen. Ready to roll?
