🎨 Style Spotlight: Colour & Mood – Designing a Kitchen That Feels Like Home
At Krystal Kitchens in Basingstoke, Hampshire, we believe that your kitchen should do more than just look good — it should feel good too. This month’s Style Spotlight is all about how colour can transform the mood of your kitchen, and how our stunning Nolte Küchen collections bring that concept to life with precision, personality, and timeless style.
The Power of Colour in Your Kitchen
Colour has a remarkable effect on how we experience a space. In the kitchen — the heart of the home — it sets the tone for how you live, gather, and create. Whether you crave a calm retreat, a bright social hub, or a sleek modern haven, choosing the right colour palette is the secret to achieving the mood you want.
Calm & Serene – Soft Neutrals & Matt Finishes
If you love a peaceful, clutter-free look, soft matt neutrals are your best friend. Shades like Cashmere, Greige, Magnolia, and Soft White from Nolte’s Soft Lack or Feel collections create a soothing backdrop that’s both timeless and modern.
Pair these tones with gentle lighting and natural textures such as oak accents or quartz worktops to create a space that feels open and effortless. Perfect for busy households who want calm energy at the centre of their home.
Mood: Relaxed • Balanced • Timeless
Try: Nolte Soft Lack in Cashmere Soft Matt with natural oak shelving
Bright & Social – Warm Hues for Energy and Light
For those who see the kitchen as a lively gathering space, a touch of warmth can make all the difference. Think honeyed wood tones, rich taupe, or even subtle terracotta-inspired accents.
Nolte’s Lugano Lack Caramel Soft Matt or Manhattan Walnut Havanna ranges bring a natural warmth that invites people in — ideal for open-plan kitchens that flow into dining or living areas.
Mood: Welcoming • Energising • Family-Friendly
Try: Walnut base units paired with a light quartz worktop for balance
Modern & Sophisticated – Dark Tones Done Right
Dark kitchens aren’t just a trend — they’re a statement. Deep graphite, velvet black, or lava finishes give your space a bold, luxurious character. Nolte’s Lugano Lack Black Soft Matt or Velluto Lava create drama and depth while remaining practical thanks to anti-fingerprint surfaces.
These tones work beautifully when paired with brushed gold or matte black fixtures, stone-effect worktops, and warm lighting.
Mood: Dramatic • Modern • Luxurious
Try: Nolte Velluto Lava with stone-effect worktops and brass accents
