Choosing the colour is the fun part — and the part people worry about most. So rather than guess at trends, here are the actual colours we’ve sprayed for clients across Hampshire, grouped by family. We can colour match any of them, or anything else from Dulux, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Edward Bulmer or your own swatch.

Tips for choosing your kitchen colour
Check the light
North-facing kitchens get cooler light, so blues and greys can look colder than on the chart — warmer greens, stones and pinks often work better. South-facing kitchens can take almost anything.
Think about your worktop and floor
These stay the same after a respray, so choose a colour that works with them. Bring a sample next to the worktop in daylight and in the evening.
Consider two tones
A darker island or lower units with lighter wall units adds depth without darkening the room.
Change the handles while the doors are off
New handles are the finishing touch, and a respray is the perfect time to change them.
Ask for a free colour consultation
We’ll bring swatches and samples to your home and give honest advice — it’s included free with every quote. See the finished results in our before & after guide.
We work predominantly in Hampshire
We’re a local, family-run team based near Botley, so most of our kitchens are in Hampshire and just over its borders — Winchester, Southampton, Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Hedge End, Romsey, Andover, Basingstoke, Alton, Petersfield, Fareham, Waterlooville and the villages in between.
Further afield? Get in touch anyway — we’ll happily travel for the right kitchen.
