Trend Alert: How Earth-Drawn Tones Are Adding Warmth to Kitchens

Sponsored Content

Biophilic design – or the idea that we feel happier, healthier and more productive in homes that connect to nature – is a growing trend. It can be expressed in many ways within the design of a home, from using natural materials and boosting daylight and natural ventilation to incorporating botanical motifs in artwork and wallpaper.

Colour is one of the easiest and most effective ways you can foster a stronger connection with nature in your home. Tones drawn from the landscape, such as earthy greens, oceanic blues, burnt terracotta and rich charcoal, add warmth and softness to your interior and create a sense of calm. And they’re the new must-have tones for kitchens in 2021 – cropping up not just in cabinetry, but in appliances and fixtures too.

Read on to find out how to work these on-trend hues into the heart of your home.

Warm, earthy green
From soft sage and olive to moss, earthy greens draw nature into your home and set an irresistibly soothing tone. And while your cabinetry and benchtops are great places to start when it comes to bringing colour into a kitchen, they are far from your only option.

Introduce warm, characterful green to your cooking space with coloured tapware or shelf and drawer linings. Or turn your oven into an eye-catching feature by choosing a coloured design.

Falcon has just introduced its new Earth Colour Collection – a stunning series of range cookers in nature-inspired tones of Mineral Green, Stone Blue and Charcoal Black.

“A large appliance like a range cooker can help to create a dramatic focal point in your kitchen,” says Robin Werth, marketing manager at Andi-Co Australia, Falcon’s exclusive distributor. “As the kitchen is the hub of the home, it’s also a clever way to set the tone for the rest of your house.

“The three new colours in the collection are highly versatile and work with a variety of kitchen styles. They contrast well with sleek, neutral tones and complement dark, dramatic cabinetry,” he says.

Create a gentle, organic feel in your kitchen by pairing Falcon’s Mineral Green range cooker with marble benchtops, timber flooring, woven rattan light fixtures or door fronts and aged-bronze handles.

Gentle dusty blue
Oceanic blue might be having a moment in the design world right now, but really it’s a classic colour that never dates. This versatile hue works seamlessly within many different kitchen looks, from coastal and modern-country kitchens to more contemporary schemes.

Introduce a range cooker in dusty blue, such as Falcon’s range cooker in Stone Blue, to warm up a predominantly white kitchen or to add a welcoming feel to an industrial-style kitchen in concrete and steel.

If your style leans more towards Hamptons or modern rustic, try pairing dusty blue with Shaker cabinetry, a herringbone timber floor, painted V-groove panelling and a subway-tiled splashback.

Rich charcoal
Deep charcoal – the colour of a night sky – is playing a starring role in kitchens in 2021. No longer seen as just an accent colour, it’s cropping up in joinery, benchtops, splashbacks and large appliances.

Charcoal creates a dramatic and luxurious vibe – ideal for a dine-in kitchen in a contemporary open-plan home or apartment. To create this modern look in your own abode, opt for matt-finish joinery with flat fronts and minimalist detailing, paired with textured tiles and flooring.

Dial up the luxe factor by extending the colour to your large appliances, such as Falcon’s range cooker in Charcoal Black, alongside warm metallics such as copper and bronze in light fixtures, recessed cabinetry pulls and decor pieces.

Add in coloured accessories
Create a sense of cohesion by introducing tonal shades of your chosen, natural hue to other parts of your kitchen.

For example, you might display a selection of ceramics in soft green, dusty blue or charcoal on an open shelf, hang an artwork that features touches of your chosen colour on the wall, or select benchtop appliances, such as a toaster or kettle, in a harmonising shade.

Little decorative touches like these not only give your kitchen a curated and intentional feel, but will make it more inviting.
