15 colourful kitchens that are attainable and affordable

Number one on our list delves into the amazing vibe you can achieve with red! Here we have a deep maroon that attributes an exciting and dramatic energy. Red is the colour of passion, and this maroon (or even a nice burgundy) gives us a rich and stately feeling as well. These colours will stimulate your appetite as well as the conversation. 

Think these cabinets look expensive? Try again! The average cost to reface cabinets in this way (with a colourful, glossy finish) is £100. This, of course, is all dependent upon how many cabinets you reface, but with a kitchen this size, you can expect to pay around this amount.

When thinking about kitchen colour, pink ins't normally the first colour that comes to mind. It can be aggressively girly, over-the-top vintage, or shockingly bright. But pink can be a wonderful colour for this space: it can drench your entire kitchen in a warm, soft, relaxing light that creates warmth and cosiness, or it can add more of a sophisticated elegance, like we see here. And who doesn't want to cook in a space like that?

Refacing an average-sized countertop like this is just as affordable as refacing cabinets, if not more so because of the smaller surface area. You can get this look for around £80!

Are you a sunny and spirited person? Or do you just wish you could channel that energy? Yellow is an excellent choice for the kitchen, as it is associated with happiness, exuberance, and positivity. 

Yellow reflects a lot of light compared to other colours, so it's best to limit brighter shades to smaller doses and materials that you really want to stand out, like the back wall and these fashionable hanging lamps.

Decorating with colour is naturally a reflection of your own personal tastes, but have you ever thought about designing your kitchen based on your actual taste in food? This kitchen was painted with aubergines in mind!

Orange can be a bit tricky to decorate with, but when done correctly, the results are astounding. Similarly to red, orange is an attention-grabbing tone that stimulates the appetite and even flatters skin tones. 

It's an excellent colour choice for those living in cooler climates, because of it gives off such a sense of warmth.

Yellow looks modern in this contemporary stunner kitchen. The bold yellow base of the breakfast bar, the lamps, and the cooking area are balanced nicely by the white interior. 

The stainless steel appliances add a delightful luster to the mix, too.

Green is great for kitchens. It's vibrant yet cool and it denotes healthiness and calm all at the same time. And it's easy to find inspiration for the perfect shade. 

All you have to do is look around your kitchen. Inspiration could come from a celery stalk, a jadeite plate, a lime, a bunch of sage, or even a slice of cucumber. 

Sticking with just one colour in the kitchen can be boring, so add some excitement to your space by mixing colours. Purple and red go great together, and so do blue and green and orange and yellow.

If your idea of ecstasy is spending the weekend relaxing by the seaside in a warm, sunny place, then blue is the kitchen colour for you. It brings that special, tranquil vibe into your kitchen. 

Whether you opt for a fun watery turquoise or a more formal deep and dark navy like we see here, there are tons of ways you can integrate this cool and stress-reducing colour.

Green in the kitchen reminds us of nature and renewal, but when mixed with the right style, it can certainly have an edge to it. Bright, crisp greens like this lime green will give your kitchen a modern and energetic vibe.

The drama of solid black and white kitchens is certainly appealing to some, but if you air on the softer side of things, then consider quieter tones like this light and bright blue. This kitchen in no way appears stark or cold, but rather inviting and serene.

Plum and orange–who would have ever thought that this combination would go well together? Clearly those at Hetreet Ross Architects, and boy were they right! 

In all white or neutral areas, pops of colour are always encouraged, and when you can successfully mix two bold colours like this, it makes for a unique space that is all your own.

There are instances when kitchens exhibit bold colours to create a statement, and then there are times like this when softer pastels to create an equally interesting space. 

Pastels are sweet and light and work really well in large quantities. They are lively, and have a charm that matches well with wooden tones.

On a final note, we're leaving you with a different styling idea. Forget spending all that time and energy deciding on a colour and getting someone to refurbish your space–why not opt for lights instead? If you're afraid of commitment, this is definitely the choice for you. If you get tired of your colour choice after a few months, replacing the lights is a synch and it only takes an average of 10 minutes out of your day, instead of hours out of your weekend.
