It's no secret that I'm a fan of yellow but this kitchen is bananas (no pun intended)! I would love to wake up and come downstairs for my first cup of coffee of the day here. Cripes, even washing up at that sink (with the no doubt beautiful view) would make the chore that much more bearable. I'm especially inspired by this space because yellow is difficult to get right in the kitchen. The use of the colour works here because a matt finish has been chosen, which prevents the finished look from feeling juvenile. Plus, notice how the yellow has been paired with rich purple accents and charcoal grey worktops that temper the brighter yellow hue. I also like how there's a mix of storage units; by having one open unit it keeps the kitchen from feeling too formal or stuffy. What do you like about this kitchen?

The green and lavender accents really help finish the kitchen perfectly.
ReplyDeletewowza! this kitchen is gorgeous and you are so right about the matte finish keeping it from feeling too juvenile. love the gray countertop too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI like the colour palette, sophisticated and fun. Nice find, and great analysis and tips :)
ReplyDeleteThat yellow colour is simply mon dieu!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I would change are the dark countertops. It's okay if they are a bit dark but can I have wood, please? ;-)
Yes i like this and the pops of green in the tray and vase really compliment! I need to work on accessorizing my kitchen!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this kitchen! Ok, well maybe I might want to paint the island a nice dark grey to pair with the yellow instead of the wood. I agree, matte is key :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! The lavender and green make it, I think.
ReplyDeleteMe again! Just came across this post by Helt Enkelt ( http://heltenkelthosmig.blogspot.de/2012/09/yellow.html ) and though it fit nicely with this one - keeping in theme with mature and elegant yellow :)
ReplyDeleteoh hello!! you and I are going to be a very happy couple Mr. Will in this kitchen. Now we just need C and T to cook for us after the long days of shopping to add a little color to our dream showhome!
ReplyDeleteIt's so happy, isn't it? Being matte helps too, softens it I think. I just blogged on yellow too. It's a colour that just makes you smile. I love the crisp white sink and the grey pairing too.
ReplyDeletethe colour of this kitchen is so cool!soft and beautiful!!
ReplyDeletelove it!the open shelving just stunning!!
happy weekend Will!!
A beautiful kitchen, bright and cheerful... but you know Will, I bet the view is rubbish!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI do love yellow, but not sure I'd want an entire room this colour. I love one huge bright pop of yellow though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Will!
I always equate yellow with the kitchen (maybe something from my childhood?). Lovely with a touch of lilac.
ReplyDeleteKitchen of my dreams, helloooo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWould go bananas if I had a kitchen like this!
