Red and Yellow
Generally, when you add bold and bright colors to your kitchen, you’ll want to balance them with more subdued and neutral tones. However, since red will remain popular, consider pairing it with other bold colors by using red on the cabinets and yellow on the walls, shelves, and hood. Consider the materials and textures you choose to give this unusual color combination a more luxurious feel. Incorporate natural wood in your kitchen island, small pieces of furniture, or other individual pieces. Mix complementary elements in the backsplash and match everything with colorful fabrics in curtains, towels, or artwork.

Pink and blue
While many of this year’s unusual kitchen color combinations tend to be bright and dark, softer colors are also in vogue, especially for fans of pastels and quieter shades. Pink and blue is a unique kitchen combination that is surprisingly easy to achieve. While the concept of a pastel kitchen is reminiscent of 1950s homeware advertisements, the look feels modern.

The softness of these colors makes this unexpected combination easy to pull off. If you’re unsure about two bold colors, choose one, such as blue, for extra calmness, and paint your base units in that color. You can add pink shades through decorations and small pieces of furniture. Use pink accessories such as taps, stools, or lamps. These items are easy to replace if you are bored in a few years.

Navy Blue and Olive Green
If you prefer a simpler scheme without bright colors, opt for a color combination that highlights shades that serve as neutrals. In this kitchen, the color choice is navy blue and olive green, an unusual yet very stylish combination. Two-tone kitchen cabinets allow you to create a unique space with character and distinction.

Consider using a darker color on the lower cabinets, such as Ink, a very deep navy, and a lighter color on the upper cabinets, or use a contrasting color like Olive for the countertops to create a signature. You can also use secondary colors in more creative ways, especially if you want to add a bit of contrast.

Pink and Green
You may already be familiar with this unusual color combination, but it’s set to make a comeback for a fresher, brighter kitchen scheme. However, how you introduce it is crucial to creating an elegant design. It will be interesting to see how the pink and green color combination can be incorporated into next year’s kitchen scheme, creating a balance between playfulness and timelessness.

Pink and dark red
When you think of a colorful kitchen, you might think of muted tones or muted colors. But, unexpected color choices create bold and striking schemes. This combination of deep red paint and lighter textured tiles creates a visually appealing color scheme. While this color combination may seem strange, it has proven effective in creating a stylish and characterful space.

Whether you prefer natural tones or bold colors with a hint of red, choose your perfect one.
