These 15 Blue Kitchens Prove That the Color Belongs in Any Style Home

In this midcentury ranch in Mountain Brook, Alabama designed by Mark G. Sikes, a dense floral wallcovering by William Morris brings an of-the-moment je ne sais quoi to the relatively modest cook space. To the shock of her friends, the homeowner left nearly as-is, save for the addition of a new window, range hood, and island. Farrow & Ball’s Parma Gray on the kitchen cabinets complements the original lining inside.

In this Sea Island, Georgia home designed by Sara Gilbane and Thad Truett, Addison Mizner–inspired beams and hand-forged iron bell jar lighting by Formations balance the kitchen’s shimmering blue tilework from Mosaic House. Creamy countertops from Caesarstone keep everything feeling grounded.

In this Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach, designer Sarah Blank selected a buoyant blue (Blue Dragon by Benjamin Moore) for the kitchen cabinetry—a “great Florida color,” she says— and grounded its design in a sense of history and flora and fauna. Custom linen shades from The Shade Store, woven linen wallpaper from Carlisle & Co, and Dekton countertops from Cosentino keep the kitchen feeling light and bright. All sink fixtures are from Kohler.

In this Manhattan apartment with postcard vistas of Central Park designed by Tammy Connor, a custom blue lacquer unifies the kitchen and family room. Stools in a Jerry Pair leather by Soane Britain and pendants by Balsamo bring neutral elements to the bold background.

In this Italianate home along the California coast designed by Mark D. Sikes, you’ll find a vivid dance of blues and aged artisanal finishes. A blue and white backsplash, rug, and floor tile accents complement creamy white cabinetry (White Tie, Farrow & Ball) and oil-rubbed bronze hardware from Rejuvenation to give the kitchen a warm, aged appearance. The sink and fixtures are from Rohl.

In this Utah mountain house designed by Anthony Baratta, diamond motifs repeat in the kitchen from the walls to the floor alongside blue cabinetry in two hues and a checkered custom chair fabric in a Dualoy leather. Pendants from Dessin Fournir add geometric interest, while the backsplash and wall tiles from Solar Antique Tiles bring color and pattern. The range is from Viking, the sink fittings are from Waterworks, and the custom-painted floor is by Adam Lowenbein.

For this breezy, British Colonial–style beach house in the Bahamas, decorator Miles Redd applied his bold approach to a sun-drenched palette, pulling blues from 1970s Italian estate stamped photographs (1stdibs) into light blue leather bar stools. “Shifting storage to a small anteroom and using upper cabinetry space to decorate the walls makes the kitchen feel like an extension of the living room,” the designer says.

In this 200-year-old farmhouse along the Rhone River in Provence, designer Susan Bednar had the cabinetry painted a silvery Light Blue by Farrow & Ball, a similar hue to the home’s exterior shutters.

In this Montecito home nestled between mountains and the Pacific Ocean designed by Christina Rottman, the kitchen echoes European and Latin modernism with deep blue hues and metallic accents. A red console from Harbinger adds a bright pop of color and ties in perfectly with the Christopher Spitzmiller Hollyhock urns. Stools in Holland & Sherry leather from Mattaliano, a range from La Cornue, and pendants from Marjorie Skouras Design add subtle glam. The sink fittings are from Waterworks.

In this apartment perched atop one of San Francisco’s highest hills designed by Greg Stewart, an heirloom collection of Chinese export porcelain pops against cornflower blue shelves backed in a Wolf‑Gordon silk. The blue ties in with Gustavian chairs in an Edelman leather and a Gaetano silk. The table is from Knoll, the custom stools are from Ashbury Hides leather, and the sink fittings are from Waterworks.
