Planning your new kitchen is exciting but it can be overwhelming at times too, with so many different aspects to consider. That’s why I always suggest my clients break the process down into stages and take each one a step at a time. Planning the colour scheme is the part they enjoy the most, but they are often scared of choosing one that will date quickly. These 10 classic and timeless colour schemes are worth considering for your next kitchen renovation. All can have different colour accessories added to them to change the look and feel of the space over time, but I guarantee you won’t tire of any of these schemes quickly.
To aid you in your selections, I have provided one benchtop suggestion and one cabinet door colour suggestion to help you achieve a similar look to each of the schemes in your own home (the colours and materials I have suggested are not necessarily exactly what was used in the photos). Your cabinet maker or kitchen designer will be able to easily source all these materials for you.
Take a look at some ‘real life’ colour swatches when you are shopping. You will notice that some colours will look different on your computer or tablet screen than they do in real life. This is because it depends on what type of screen you are viewing it on, the resolution of the uploaded images and the calibration of your screen. This is why it is always best that you choose colours for your kitchen, or any room in your home, from real swatches or sample paint pots and never from shade cards (unless real paint chips have been used) or websites.

1. Black, White and Grey
The contrast of black and white has been a much loved colour combination both in fashion and interiors for many, many years. Although the contrast of black and white is strong, it’s still a very easy scheme to live with. Because there is no real colour as such, a black and white scheme can be brightened with various coloured accessories that can easily be changed as you tire of them.
When we think black and white, we think black tie – smart and sophisticated, and most definitely not out of date. To create maximum impact with this colour scheme, look for the brightest, most crisp white and the purest black. Then soften the harsh contrast of black and white by introducing some grey tones.
Black is a strong tone that creates big impact, so if you have a small space, use it sparingly. Consider a glossy finish for your black surfaces; this will help to bounce light around the room and make the black feel less heavy.

2. Navy and Cream
Getting its name from the British Royal Navy, the colour navy is sophisticated and timeless. When we think of navy, we think of uniformed soldiers or figures of importance such as police. The colour instills a sense of trust and order in us – so it’s no wonder we love it so much.
Look at various tones of the colour and select one that suits your home and the lighting in the space the best. It doesn’t have to be the typical uniform navy that you might have in mind. A dark navy can look almost black while a more muted navy with grey tones might be more suitable as it’s not as dark and overpowering.
Team your chosen shade of navy with contrasting rich cream tones. Think coastal chic. Use warm creams that don’t appear too yellow.
If you love the idea of navy but are afraid that it may make your space appear too dark, you could just use navy as a feature colour on your island bench or some overhead cabinets, leaving the rest of the kitchen a brighter cream colour.

3. Natural Tones
Natural, like white, doesn’t have to mean boring. A natural colour scheme is warm, homey and is completely timeless due to the fact than none of the colours are strong and overpowering, so you won’t tire of looking at them. They are soft and inviting.
Think sandy and stone colours. This colour scheme looks great on either modern or traditional-style cabinets, but it really adds a grown-up touch to a traditional or country-style kitchen too.
Look for benchtop colours that mimic the look of natural stone, or better still – if it’s within your budget – consider using real granite or marble for a completely authentic, natural style. Select a stone or stone-look material that isn’t too busy – after all, we’re aiming for a timeless look, so you don’t want to choose something that you will tire of easily.
For your cabinet fronts, pick up a colour from within the benchtop to tie both surfaces together and continue the natural feeling.

4. White on White
I know what you’re thinking … boring! But white on white kitchens, although admittedly not to everyone’s taste, are perhaps the most timeless of all kitchen colour schemes and the most popular, with very good reason. White is a very easy colour to live with, it’s easy on the eye, doesn’t demand attention, you won’t get tired of looking at it and, best of all, there is an endless choice of coloured accessories that you can team with white without them clashing.
An all-white kitchen exudes an air of sophistication, simplicity and grace. It looks fresh and bright and never dated. You can easily add colour to an all-white kitchen, and change it often with the use of coloured accessories such as pendant lights, small appliances and even plants.
Choose your shade of white carefully. Opt for shades that are on the cooler side (with a slight blue undertone) as opposed to whites that are too warm, as these can sometimes appear yellow depending on the light in your home.

5. French Grey
Everything about the French is sophisticated and timeless, especially their provincial kitchen style and colouring.
French provincial-style kitchens tend to use subtle soft colours such as light blues, soft greys, antique whites and muted coffee colours. These soft colours highlight the detailed design of French provincial-style kitchens.
These soft subtle colours can be used to create a timeless colour scheme in both modern and traditional-style kitchens. Soft greys can have a tinge of blue, yellow and even pink to them if you would like to add a hint more colour.
Combine soft grey cabinets with a natural colour benchtop that also contains some grey tones, but don’t forget to create some contrast – make sure that the cabinets and benchtop colours are not too similar or you could end up with a flat, uninteresting scheme.

6. White and Timber
It doesn’t get more natural than timber, and it’s that natural beauty that makes timber such a timeless choice. Regardless of whether the material you use is real timber or a timber effect laminate, the look of timber creates a welcoming and homely feel that you will be happy to live with for a very long time.
Combine timber colouring with white for a beautifully contrasting, once again, timeless scheme that simply won’t date because the white doesn’t compete with the timber for attention and therefore has a soothing effect.
Confine the use of timber to feature areas such as benchtops, feature paneling or open shelves, so it’s not too overwhelming in the space and avoid timbers that are too reddish or too dark in colour, as you may tire of these more easily than a light, natural colour timber.
Depending on whether you are creating a traditional or contemporary style space, combine your timber colour with either a modern crisp white or a more traditional creamy white.

As important as colour is, it’s not the only thing that can create a timeless look for your kitchen. While planning your new build or renovation, think about adding elements such as Shaker-style cabinet doors, a butler’s sink, marble benchtops and natural timber to help your kitchen scheme stay stylish through the years. These elements, individually or combined, will bring a sense of elegance to your space that will never go out of style.
7. Olive Green and Champagne
When you think olive green, army uniforms and camouflage clothing may be the first things that come to mind. However, olive green is a tasteful and sophisticated colour choice for interiors. Olive is a dark yellowish green with a soothing, earthy aesthetic.
Just as the earthy taste of green olives is complemented by the refreshing acidity of champagne, the same can be said for colours that carry the same name in interior decorating. Dress olive green cabinets with warm metal handles in champagne, brass or gold colours. When selecting a benchtop colour, choose a light-coloured material with a creamy undertone instead of crisp white. Consider a natural stone or stone-look material that has subtle veins in darker cream or champagne to provide a refreshing contrast with the more muted aesthetic of olive green.
Other greens worth considering in the kitchen are sage green and any earthy or dusty green. Think muted and murky with grey and yellow undertones.

8. Blues and Greys
The combination of blue and grey tones creates a soothing and tranquil colour scheme that can be applied to both contemporary and traditional-style kitchens.
Here, the darker tone of the blue cabinetry is instantly brightened with the introduction of lighter grey benchtops and grey and white feature tiles.
Any shade of blue and grey will work well together as long as there is some contrast. Ensure that one of the colours is a darker tone than the other to avoid a bland effect. Add some white accents to further lighten the colour scheme.
Concrete benchtops, or engineered-stone benchtops designed to look like concrete, are a popular choice for kitchen renovations at the moment. Concrete has actually been used in kitchens of different styles for many years and is certain to look just as good in 15 years as it does now.
Real concrete will slowly patinate over time, changing slightly in colour and appearance, whereas engineered-stone benchtops are consistent in colouring and won’t change over time.

9. Black, Timber and Marble
This is the perfect colour scheme for those who love black and white but want to add a little something extra. It’s a warmer alternative to the stark ‘tuxedo’ look of mixing black with white.
Timber has always been a popular material choice in kitchens, whether it be on cabinetry, benchtops or flooring. Its warm colouring and natural aesthetic is appealing and inviting in any space.
Almost any timber colour will work with black, just avoid anything too dark or too red as it will jar with the black.
Look at timber veneer and laminate options when choosing timber colour materials for cabinetry fronts for a more cost-effective and durable alternative to solid wood. Veneer and laminate will also offer more consistency in colouring and grain pattern for a more uniform look.
A matt finish black will look more natural and work much better with timber tones than a high-gloss finish.
Choose a marble or marble-look benchtop that has a white or light grey base with darker grey veining to tie the look together.

10. All Black
Black-on-black oozes sophistication and elegance and, given its longstanding popularity in both interiors and fashion, is much less likely to date than ‘on trend’ colours.
However, an all-black kitchen won’t be to everyone’s taste and won’t suit every home, and it’s certainly not one for the faint-hearted.
Black by its very nature is a dark and sultry colour that should be considered carefully before being used in any space, especially small and dark areas.
Some tricks that can be used to make an all-black kitchen feel less dark and overpowering include combining different textures and finishes to create visual interest, and using high-gloss surfaces to bounce more light around the space.
Add subtle highlights to break up the continuous block of black by selecting handles in a brushed stainless steel, polished chrome or polished brass.

Mine is white on white seamless,with clean lines, no handles, I love the brightness of it. I perk it up with coloured accessories, bright art work etc. just had a beautiful black sink installed and I love it, it’s certainly not boring.
