Add embracing warmth to a contemporary kitchen scheme with an on-trend shade of pink! Team soft pink with muted metallics and lashings of crisp white to create a warm and welcoming space.
Making the move to pink
From millennial pink to the muddier, clay-toned shades we’re embracing now, pink is a colour trend that’s set to linger, bringing warmth to a contemporary interior. Pair it with metals like brass or gold to create a muted, easy-to-live-with scheme.
Make a pink kitchen work
Start with a blush base, layering with warm timber tones; consider using oak for cabinetry or engineered timber floorboards as it has a similar tonal strength to a soft pink. Streamlined door profiles are a good choice with this palette, allowing timber grain to provide the room’s interest and texture. Lighter colours provide a good balance; try penny round mosaic tiles or a stone-look laminate benchtop like Kaboodle’s Crackle Crush to capture pale tones with a touch of texture.

Play pink your way
Swapping brass for brushed nickel and stainless steel brings a brighter look to a pink kitchen. Be sure to balance this colder-looking metal with warm, textured finishes like timber in floors, cabinetry or even a statement pendant light!
If you’re nervous about committing to all-pink, you could stick to wall paint or try it just on the kitchen island or a run of wall cabinets. When using pink in the kitchen, remember that Kaboodle’s paint-your-own doors can be painted in your hue of choice – try Porter’s Paints Baby Doll for a sweet finish – and repaint it if your tastes change.
