Blissful Blue Kitchen & Paint Ideas
Before we dive into blue kitchen designs and two-tone kitchens with blissful blues, what if you’re interested in touches of blue as opposed to a sea of it? The kitchen above illustrates the power of a pantry cabinet with bold blue.
Accents for a Blue Kitchen
The kitchens above and below also feature blue and white porcelain accents–a wonderfully classic way to bring classic, traditional, pretty blue patterns into the mix.
Fabric and wallcoverings with blue are another way to accent with blue, and they add so much personality, life, whimsy, and softness.
If you admire the work of Mark Sikes, you may love these pieces he designed:
Here’s another glimpse of Mark Sikes design goodness where the ceiling feels like a tranquil summer sky!

If you love traditional style, then you know how easily blue and white live as best friends.
You need not always do blue boldly!
A soft grey-blue gingham print on fabric covered shades almost steals the show in this stunning kitchen where blue plays a starring role.
This kitchen dining area from Southeastern Designer Showhouse 2017 (Lauren DeLoach designed this area) also makes a case for soft blue Buffalo checks!

I’m crazy about Cathy Kincaid’s Dallas home, and while her kitchen is classic and white, you’ll get a sense of how blue plays an important role in her decor.
Blue Kitchen Island as a Statement
Painting your kitchen island, pantry cabinets, or base cabinets blue can be a beautiful way to bring color, contrast, and interest to the design.
But which blue paint color? Love blue-greys? See this with a bunch of ideas to sample! Navy blue is popular for islands, but blue-greys are also a possibility and work well with white marble:
The wonderful thing about accenting with a color on the island is the ease for changing it down the line if ever you tire of it. So much less hassle to not have to paint all of the neutral peripheral cabinetry.
What you perceive as grey, others may see as blue. For example, in our Arizona kitchen we painted cabinets a blue-grey (Behr Classic Silver) that actually looked blue with the strong yellow sunlight:
Blue Kitchen Pantry
Islands are not the only kitchen fixture to consider if you want to make a statement with blue. Customizing a pantry cabinet or even interior doors is a possibility too.
In this kitchen, a blue pantry has extended depth inside for loads of storage.
For coffee lovers, the space could easily become a station for espresso and feel like you’re own private shop. This next blue kitchen pantry is inspiration for art lovers and an example of kitchens that feel like cozy living spaces rather than solely a utilitarian place to cook.
Blue Kitchen Flooring Inspiration
Encaustic, encaustic-look, porcelain, ceramic, and vinyl floor options can make a statement and feel energetic and lively.
I do love a hazy blue-grey color like this! Here’s a chambray-like color you could try:
I also admire how the blue base cabinets and white uppers in the kitchen below work with this gorgeous vintage inspired floor and wall to wall subway tile:
Peace to you right where you are.
