Bring the calmness of blue into your home by using blue kitchen appliances to create an elegant blue kitchen, instead of going with the traditional neutral colors you often find in kitchens. This color is known to have a soothing effect on your nerves and makes up a perfect space to spend your time in.
Blue tiles have been a timeless feature for walls and can be used for the backsplash in the kitchen. Use hints of blue throughout your kitchen, such as window frames, or maybe just the lower cabinets. You can also incorporate blue pendant lights, bar stools or chairs. Or keep everything mostly neutral or calm aside from pops of color using blue appliances like a blue Keurig coffee maker or blue mixers.
The best thing about this color is that it pairs well with not only wooden interiors but goes well with granite, marble, white ceramic, or even stainless steel.
Blue Home Decor Themes
Blue is a versatile color that can evoke a range of emotions and create different atmospheres in home decor. One popular theme that works well with blue is the coastal or nautical theme. This theme draws inspiration from the sea and incorporates shades of blue, along with whites and sandy neutrals, to create a serene and beachy ambiance. Nautical elements such as anchors, seashells, and ropes can be incorporated into decor accents, while natural textures like rattan and jute add a touch of coastal charm. Soft blue hues can be used on walls, furniture, and textiles, while pops of bright blue can be introduced through accessories like pillows or artwork. Check out the coastal kitchen blog post for more inso.
Another theme that pairs beautifully with blue is the Scandinavian or Nordic style, like a Hygge kitchen. This design aesthetic embraces simplicity, minimalism, and functionality. Light shades of blue, such as pastel or icy blue, can be used as a calming backdrop for a Scandinavian-inspired space. This theme focuses on clean lines, natural materials, and a sense of airiness. White or light wood furniture, paired with blue textiles and accents, create a harmonious and tranquil atmosphere. Adding touches of warmth through natural textures like sheepskin or woven baskets can balance the coolness of the blue color palette.
For a more vibrant and energetic look, the eclectic or bohemian theme can incorporate various shades of blue. This style celebrates individuality, mixing patterns, and incorporating eclectic decor pieces. Blue can be used as a bold accent color through vibrant rugs, patterned curtains, or statement furniture pieces. Mixing different shades of blue with other colors like yellow, orange, or pink can create a visually stimulating and eclectic space.
Another home decor theme that complements the color blue is the modern farmhouse style. This design combines the simplicity of farmhouse aesthetics with contemporary elements, resulting in a fresh and inviting atmosphere. Soft shades of blue, like dusty blue or powder blue, can be incorporated into furniture upholstery, wall paint, or decorative accents. Natural materials such as weathered wood, wicker, and linen blend seamlessly with the blue color palette, creating a cozy and rustic feel. Accents like vintage-inspired light fixtures, distressed finishes, and botanical prints can further enhance the farmhouse charm. Blue and white porcelain accessories or floral patterns can add a touch of traditional elegance to the space. Check out more on the rustic farmhouse kitchen blog post!

Blue Kitchen Decor
Blue and white kitchen themes have always been popular due to their soothing look. For this, almost all shades of blue like cobalt, navy blue, baby blue, royal, or azure can work really well with white. The classic combination doesn’t go out of date and is even practical to take in accents of other colors pretty easily.
Some themes you could go with using blue kitchen appliances include a classic craftsman kitchen, a farmhouse kitchen with wooden floors, a country kitchen with huge windows, or a contemporary kitchen with modern furniture.
You might have noticed that most trending kitchens these days tend to include rich elements of blue kitchen decor as the basic theme, with some popular themes coming into play such as cottage-style kitchens, Mediterranean kitchens, minimalist kitchens, and urban-style eclectic kitchens.
Since blue comes in such a wide range of colors, you can use a vibrant blue paired with red kitchen appliances for a nautical theme, or opt for more of a teal kitchen for a calming beach setting.
Blue Kitchen Appliances to Consider
If an all-blue kitchen sounds too overwhelming for you, you could try including some blue kitchen appliances as some bold statement pieces throughout your kitchen. Mix and match them with your kitchen interior-doesn’t matter what color, since blue teams up well with most colors in the kitchen.
Blue or navy blue kitchen appliances will especially stand out in an all-white kitchen or ones with neutral color settings. You can create a more homogenous look by adding blue rugs or curtains across your kitchen. A coffee machine in navy blue stands out as a centerpiece against the white countertop. You can contrast your blue kitchen appliances with almost all sorts of kitchen materials.
Almost every shade of blue pairs up stunningly with stones like granite or marble, and with wood, stainless steel, and ceramic too. Opt for a blue kitchen island with a white or light-colored marble top and arrange your blue kitchen appliances on top. A blue toaster, blender, or kitchen machine will look fabulous and serve as an eye-catching accessory in a setting like this.

Ways To Work Blue Into A Kitchen
Blue is a great choice to set up a kitchen with a contemporary theme. It works great with both small and large kitchens. It doesn’t matter how much space you have; you can definitely make it work well by going with the right shade of blue. Throw in some ample lighting and your kitchen is good to go!
Make a statement in your kitchen by making use of royal blue on the walls or choosing some navy blue kitchen cabinets. All blue kitchen ideas work pretty well, especially in larger spaces that have plenty of natural light. Even a smaller space looks great with blue-opt for a calming blue color scheme from floor to ceiling that will give the space an overall cozy effect.

An accent wall painted in blue is an excellent idea to break the monotonous look in your kitchen. Pair up your accent wall with blue decor all around. This is especially good for working with darker shades of blue that might look too overpowering.
Some blue kitchen decor is another amazing idea to uplift your kitchen on a budget since blue combines well with a number of different color schemes. Just adding some soft furnishing like blue kitchen curtains or a rug can cheer up your cooking space without too much hassle. Consider adding blue chairs or even just cushions to your already existing seating in the kitchen. Put up blue framed wall hangings on the walls and streamline them with blue trims on the ceiling and window frames.
Try Blue Kitchen Cabinets
Two tone blue and white kitchen cabinets are a good combination for blue kitchen walls. If your kitchen is small, then stick to a darker shade for units at the base and a lighter shade on top to give an impression of more space. Similarly, you can try cabinets with glass doors and paint the insides the same blue color. This will give the illusion of more space and no other interruptions in view. Dark blue kitchen cabinets are also a great choice. Or just opt for a blue kitchen island and keep everything else light and bright.
The color blue can be used to create some striking combinations; e.g. cobalt blue with marigold, navy blue and gold, and sky blue and pale peach, to name a few untraditional fusions that you can use to design a fabulous blue kitchen. Peaceful shades of blue invoke healing and health and promote feelings of calmness; make a style statement by incorporating this color into your cooking space!
Try Some Blue Kitchen Inspiration
You can of course go for a nautical look in a couple ways. Either a navy hue for more of a classic nautical or Nantucket vibe (which of course you can mix with a red kitchen accent too), or you can go with a light blue and more of a relaxing coastal vibe. Check out my coastal kitchen post for more inspo as well! You will even get some ideas for a Mediterranean vibe on that post. What can I say, blue and coastal themes just go together!
