Blue Kitchen Cabinets More Dramatic Than Bake Off

21 Mar 2023

Play-it-safe kitchens are everywhere. You’ve probably seen them: cream walls, grey doors, pastel-coloured appliances. Property developers use these colours for mass appeal.

The problem is that they’re bland. If drama is what you want in your kitchen then you really only have three choices:

1. Add a Ghost Pepper to your savoury muffins
2. Invite a Bake Off judge around for cake
3. Use strong colours to set apart your kitchen

Since the first two options will likely end in disaster, though, today we’ll zero in on number three.

“But what if I pick bad colours?!” you might say. If that’s your concern, don’t worry. Our new Moonlight Blue kitchen cabinets match almost every accessory, adding more drama to a kitchen than the sun on Bake Off’s ice-cream week—only, without the tears.

 

Round 1: Pick a Theme

The new Moonlight Blue cabinet colour by Masterclass® Kitchens is a striking but flexible colour around which you can assemble a stand-out design. Indeed, you can make it work in both traditional and contemporary kitchen designs. The only limit is your imagination.

For instance, you could select the new Hatfield kitchen range. Encasing a Highland Stone island and backed by a Dulux Angora Blanket background, this versatile colour scheme can produce a nostalgia-inducing cottage effect worthy of any interior design centrefold.

If you prefer a more cutting-edge design, however, the Padstow with a marble worktop might be more to your taste. Inspired by the crisp lines and a clean spaces of Scandinavian design, it’s perfect for those who thrive with a minimalist bake station. Plus, softening the look is simple. Just add a parquet floor and oak furnishings.

Round 2: Add Accessories

After you’ve settled on a theme, you’ll want accessories. Something as small as the handles you choose can make a massive difference to how your Moonlight Blue cabinets appear.

Say you want to turn up the heat on your traditional kitchen setup; our knob- or cup-style handles can add the spice you’re looking for in your cooking space. Brass options and a decorative cornice provide a degree of warmth and intricacy you normally only find in a country kitchen.

Or, if state-of-the-art design gets you going, add glass doors and T-bar handles, both of which fast-forward any kitchen into the modern age. Masterclass® Kitchens offers stainless steel T-bar handles with knurled grips, which deliver modernity without having to spend all day buffing smudges.

“You’d be surprised at how easily you can completely alter the perceived time period of a kitchen range just by changing up the accessories.”— Lisa Foggan, Design Consultant at Sigma 3 Cardiff East

Step 3: Add Wow Factor

“Typical” kitchen cupboards are rudimentary cuboids. But kitchens don’t have to be a series of uniform boxes. In fact, stand-out ones often house show-stopping features visitors love to explore.

Introducing… The Signature Collection! These pieces embody drama. Imagine you want the grandeur of Pride and Prejudice in your kitchen. Our Lansbury corner pantries round a square corner and provides a secret nook, not dissimilar to the ones Mr Carson would explore in the show.

If you like the Lansbury but prefer a crisper line, the Hathaway is a brilliant storage alternative, more well suited to a contemporary kitchen. 100% tailor-made, you can select a unique composition of pigeon holes to ensure it helps you prove cakes, store fondant or display your prized wine collection.

Step 4: Get a Second Opinion

There you go; everything you need to plan a dramatic Moonlight Blue kitchen that’ll stand the test of time. If blue isn’t your colour, though, Hatfield and Padstow kitchens also come in Scots Grey, Light Grey, Dust Grey and Highland Stone, offering the epic majesty of a mountain summit to your living space.
