Emma Sandford, brand manager at PWS, reveals the advantages of opting for a two-tone kitchen colour scheme and what to bear in mind to achieve stunning results.
Two-toned kitchens are the latest design trend to offer a stunning blend of style and functionality. This particular trend has gained traction because it offers endless customisation options, allowing homeowners to make a statement whilst keeping the design timeless. It’s the perfect trend for those who want their kitchen to feel modern yet welcoming. Whether your client prefers bold contrasts or subtle transitions, a two-toned kitchen is a creative way to personalise a space.
By combining contrasting colours, textures and materials, this design approach creates depth and visual interest whilst allowing homeowners to express their personal style. PWS offers a range of cupboard doors and accessories to create the perfect two-toned kitchen which will elevate the home.
When creating a two-toned design, selecting the appropriate colours is essential. The first step is to decide which tones will complement one another without clashing, with some of the most popular combinations being lighter shades like white, grey or cream and contrasting them with deeper hues such as navy, charcoal and burnt orange. A homeowner could opt for a dramatic contrast or a more subtle approach, dependent on the style of home and the space available.
A two-toned approach not only enhances visual interest but also offers practical benefits. Lighter tones can create an open and airy atmosphere, while darker hues will hide scuffs and stains, making a space more functional. To fully embrace the trend, homeowners can also experiment with different textures and materials. For example, glossy finishes can add a contemporary feel whilst natural wood tones offer warmth and charm. Additionally, contrasting hardware, splashbacks and worktops can elevate the two-toned design to create a cohesive and sophisticated look.
The Mornington Beaded design is a prime example of how to incorporate 2 contrasting tones in the kitchen. Opt for one wall of cabinetry in a lighter colour and another wall in a more vibrant hue to create a dynamic visual effect which adds personality and energy to the overall space.
Whilst the light cabinetry prevents a smaller kitchen from feeling cramped, the bold contrast adds warmth and character. Tie the space together by opting for a similarly bold kitchen island to create a focal point.
