Introducing Deep and Dark Colours in the Kitchen from Little Greene Paint Company

Our entire handmade kitchens are handpainted on site. We use one of our favourite paint companies “Little Green Paint Company” to bring a sense of drama to the kitchen design.

Little Greene has history dating back to 1773, and the factory it started out from is one of England’s most ancient industrial sites for the making of paints and dye solutions. What iconic British History in the making of paint!

Thinking about going for a dark colour? As a rule of thumb, the bigger the room, the darker you can go with the colour. Deep colours have lots of character and can bring a sense of drama to the space.

It has become a popular modern decor in recent years with the ability to soften the colour scheme up with a lighter colour, or go even  deeper for character- known as a two tone.

Below is a great example of one of our projects painted in a dark, deep colour. The beautiful in-frame Classic Shaker kitchen with beaded front frame has been handpainted in Little Greene Basalt, which creates a bold statement. It works in tandem with the light slate floor and multicoloured quartz with a lovely natural appearance, and contrasts the traditional oak for a deeper impact and industrial look.

A charming kitchen sits below at our Classic Shaker in Sawbridgeworth. Dark bold colours such as red and grey have been used in a two tone colour scheme to create an industrial style look, and a sense of drama.
