Colour in kitchen design is a trend where some colours stay and some go. Pink is one of those colours that was considered too bold or too playful for a serious interior, although nowadays it has evolved into a sophisticated, surprisingly subtle shade that’s taking the stage, and for good reason. We’re declaring it the new neutral, no longer a feminine colour but a mature and fun hue. It looks stunning in a handmade kitchen, and we have two perfect examples to showcase.
From hues such as soft blush to dusky rose and hot pinks, this powerful colour is proving its own as a modern neutral, and we are definitely here for it! Read on to see how this trend works in the home, you might just be able to steal some tips to take the look home!
The Rise of Pink Becoming a Neutral
In the world of colour, neutral tones are often seen as beige, cream, grey and white, but homeowners and interior designers are now opting for more character and warmth in their spaces, and pink has stepped in as a softer alternative. Pink’s undertone draws from a natural palette with earthy, muted bases to complement the surrounding space rather than overwhelm it.
Any kitchen element can be soaked in pink, including a blush-toned island, a clay pink tiled splashback, or even a subtle rosy-veined marble worktop. Introducing pink through these elements brings the space a calm and elegant mood, which brings the right balance. And when the right tone is used, pink functions just like any neutral, which can be paired with wood, stone and brass to curate the perfect setting for the ideal heart of the home.

Styling a Handmade Kitchen with Pink
The beauty of choosing a bespoke handmade kitchen is that every detail you consider is tailored to suit your personal style and your home’s decor. Pink is an understated colour and brings endless opportunities for creative expression.
Combining Soft Pink & Warm Wood Accents
For a Scandinavian-inspired kitchen look, pair pale blush cabinetry with oak accents such as open shelving and wooden bar stools. Complete it with natural stone worktops. This serene design is perfect for creating a calming and balanced vibe.
Pairing Dusty Rose With Aged Brass
To bring a more luxurious feel to your entertaining space, pair a muted rose pink with warm metallics such as aged brass handles, taps, and lighting fixtures. The beauty of brass will shine against the dusty pink, adding a touch of understated glam.
A Modern Twist of Millennial Pink & Monochrome
Millennial pink has gained popularity and the status of a neutral hue for some time now. It’s a colour that has become a staple in fashion, design, and pop culture, appealing to homeowners who love a touch of simplicity and warmth in their interior design. Combine this trending colour with chalky white or matte black features to deliver a bold contrast and serious style.
Other Ways of Introducing Pink into Your Bespoke Kitchen
To embrace this new neutral, you don’t need to commit to a full pink kitchen. You can introduce the colour through a selection of elements, including the kitchen island, wall panelling, or bespoke splashback tiling. If that’s not enough pink to fully embrace the style, consider it in your interior accents, such as pendant lighting, or textiles like seat cushions and tea towels.
How Pink Works in Any Kitchen Style
What’s your style? Is it ultra-modern or a traditional rustic farmhouse setting? With so many pink options, there’s a shade of pink that can offer a timeless style or bring energy and confidence. The secret behind this is how the pink is used, whether a matte finish to ground the architectural elements, or a glossy pink to reflect light and drama, pink will adapt to its environment.
Pink Grows With Interior Trends & Season Changes
Pink continues to evolve with interior trends and season changes, as it’s the new adaptable neutral. Pink adds joy and soul to a room, while quietly supporting the surrounding design.
