Blue Kitchen Colors

Denim Blue

• Relaxed and cozy, denim blue goes with contemporary or traditional decorating themes. Denim blue looks good with checked designs, and it goes well with other shades of blue, such as sky blue or aqua. Pair this color with yellow for a cheerful mood in your kitchen, or match it with red for a bold and bright look. Use coordinating cookware, rugs, vases and bowls to bring a sense of unity to your kitchen.

Turquoise

• Turn your kitchen into a bright spot in the house with turquoise. Even in small kitchens, turquoise opens up spaces and adds a sense of openness. Go for a bold look by painting either your cabinets or walls with a light shade of turquoise. Balance the color with white and chrome throughout your fixtures and accessories. Another option is to go with white wood and bring turquoise into your kitchen with a colored tile backsplash, rugs and window treatments.

Cobalt Blue

• Deep blue is luxurious and cheerful, and you'll find it in many decorating themes, such as Delft and French country. Cobalt blue glassware is a pleasing addition to your kitchen, and the good news is that it doesn't take very many pieces to bring the look together. A canister set, glassware or decorative bottles highlight this look. Earthenware with cobalt blue designs will brighten your kitchen and add to the blue without becoming overwhelming. Add a rug that complements this color to give your kitchen a complete finish.

Periwinkle

• Periwinkle is a light and friendly color that blends with decorating styles ranging from Italian to country. Be daring and put it on the walls, or use it as a color on an accent wall. Dress up those walls with ceramic plates or antique frames. With white and polished chrome, this color creates a simple and crisp look. If you have white walls, find wallpaper, rugs, place mats and chair cushions that integrate this color into your kitchen.
