9 Colourful Kitchen Ideas to Cheer Up Your Cooking Space

When it comes to kitchen design, white cabinets are undeniably classic and timeless, but every kitchen looks livelier and more welcoming with a pop of colour. It is a powerful tool that can completely alter the overall look of a space, making it feel wider and brighter, plus, a colourful kitchen can draw the eye towards a feature worth highlighting.

If you’re ready to give your kitchen a colourful new style, take inspiration from these Malaysian kitchens that inject colour in all the right places. You’re sure to find just the right accent to cheer up your cooking space!

1. Beige-coloured kitchen

A sophisticated kitchen doesn’t have to be all-white, all marble or all-black. A soft shade like this kitchen works just as well. This beige kitchen is complemented with pops of grey and off-white so that it doesn’t overwhelm the eye. We also love the grey quartz waterfall island that lends an elegant touch to the meal prepping space.

2. Moss green and peach kitchen

Designed by A Moxie Associates, this lovely kitchen uses a soothing moss green colour for the cabinets. They also keep things bright and cheerful by pairing the colour with matching green mosaic backsplash, peach walls and funky tiled flooring.

3. Teal-coloured kitchen

This kitchen designed by Viinc Studio is enlivened by teal-coloured shaker-style kitchen cabinets.The teal tone compliments the white quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash and the patterned floors create a charming contemporary cooking space. Meanwhile, the dark green toaster that sits on the counter perk up the kitchen with even more colour.

4. Sky blue and yellow kitchen

There's nothing more appealing than a blue and white kitchen. And throwing some yellow accent to the mix creates a much cheerful setting. This wet kitchen proves the point beautifully with its pairing of a sky blue cabinets and white subway tile backsplash and a bright yellow pegboard. On the counter, a set of turquoise colour kitchen utensils adds to the cooking space cheerful vibe.

5. Green and gold-tone kitchen

Several zesty accents invigorate this cooking space designed by Lora Kitchen Design. It features a two-tone wall, where a rich yellowish gold, pairs nicely with a dark green wall. This colour combination, perfectly complements the gold-toned hardware, while leafy green plants add to the kitchen’s tropical vibe.

6. Dark blue kitchen

EMPT Studio uses colour to visually separate the kitchen from the living area with a distinctive navy blue colour cabinetry and kitchen island with white countertop and gorgeous patterned floors. The custom cabinets also match beautifully with the entryway cabinets. We also love how the cream colour backsplash helps to soften the overall look of the cooking space.

7. White and green dry kitchen

The homeowners of this dry kitchen used a green colour on both sides of the cabinetry to create a fun statement that isn't overpowering. The green kitchen cabinet and coffee cups introduce a pop of colour against the white cabinetry and subway tiles.

8. High-shine gold kitchen
