Parallel kitchens are stylish, beautifully organised and super-efficient. They are also cost- effective, and there is absolutely no wastage of space anywhere. Besides which, these layouts also work well for large and small kitchens alike. And come to think of it, while there are so many advantages, we can’t think of a single reason why you would not want to use this kitchen layout in your home!
Sounds great? We think so, too. Here are some lovely colour combinations that you can put to use in your home!
Chrome yellow is all fire and warmth, while steel grey is icy and cold—and the two together are a match made in heaven. This sleek, contemporary kitchen is all heart, and you’re sure to fall in love with it every single day! Deep floor-to-ceiling tall cabinets make up an entire half of the storage, making this layout highly functional and customisable to your needs. The breakfast counter is in white and provides visual relief against the solid colours.
Black is the most popular colour for modern kitchens, but too much of it runs the risk of feeling dull and soulless. Which is why many designers prefer to pair black with another hue, to eliminate monotony and add visual interest.
Forest green and black make for a lovely pairing, providing both contrast and edge to your kitchen. Take a black cue from this delightful kitchen, where the lower cabinets in a lovely shade of green stand out against the stark white of the cabinets above. Pops of green in the shelves tie the colours together, making this pairing work.
No colour duo matches the universal acceptance of a white-and-wood palette. White is pared-down and minimalistic, while wood adds texture and tone. Beautifully organised, this space-savvy kitchen features oakwood shelves combined with white cabinetry, creating a warm, cozy space that you’ll love to cook in! The second leg of the galley offers additional storage and a compact breakfast bar.
The warmth of exposed brick gives this farmhouse kitchen a rustic, inviting vibe. The cabinets are in a white and grey combo, with wooden shelves taking the place of closed shutters above the counter. The lack of the upper run of cabinetry opens up the entire space and makes it look spacious and uncluttered.
Teal combines the tranquillity of blue with the freshness of green, and is one of the most soothing and calming colours you can use in your kitchen. Here, light teal cabinets in a minimalistic finish are paired with the warmth of oakwood to create a pleasing, harmonious design palette. The backsplash is done up in grades of grey to match the floor tiles.
Break the mould, dare to be different, and opt for an all-black kitchen! While white kitchens are clean and pared down, black kitchens have a sensuous allure that speaks of sophisticated design sensibilities. This stunning kitchen is sure to appeal, even if black isn’t your thing! It features black cabinets with a linen texture against a plain black backsplash, the whole accentuated by clever warm lighting. The dome lights that are fixed right on the counter add a unique touch.
When we speak of all-black kitchens, the combo of black and wood can’t be far behind! Here, the upper run of cabinets is in matte black, while the cabinets below the counter are in fine-grained teak wood. The grey countertop and wall alongside help to arrive at a middle ground, tying the two disparate hues together.
The colour possibilities with a grey palette are endless. The perfect neutral, grey is anything but boring and combines beautifully with any shade or wood or any colour in the spectrum. Paired with warm tones of maple wood in this kitchen, steel grey cabinets quite steal the show—and our hearts!
Timeless and elegant, the contrast of black and white is an ever-popular pairing that strikes the perfect balance between glam and inviting! Shaker-style cabinets exude transitional style, with a few glass cabinets in the upper run adding more transparency. Tall stools with lovely curved legs in black metal can be drawn up to the breakfast bar for a quick meal.
One of the most striking and bold colour pairings, red and white is a stylish duo that appeals to the adventurous. Glossy lift-ups combine with long, horizontal drawers in a judicious mix of the two colours. Cheerful checkered red and white tiles make up the backsplash and create design unity.
This bold, eye-catching loft kitchen features inky black cabinets against a stunning backdrop of burnt brick. Panelled wood makes up the second galley counter, adding farmhouse style and cozy warmth to this space. We love the decision to forgo upper closed cabinets— instead, this kitchen features simple open shelves for spice jars and sauces that come in handy while cooking.
This showstopper of a kitchen has a sensuous and smokey vibe, pairing bold vermillion with deep grey to create high contrast. With a tall pantry on one side that continues into a loft, this layout is outfitted with ample storage space and a super-efficient work area. The breakfast counter in colour-blocked red adds to the vibrancy.
