At Delta Kitchens, we know that colour has the power to transform: it can turn a functional kitchen into a warm, elegant space full of life. This trend is becoming increasingly popular: natural, earthy tones, deep greens and warm neutrals dominate modern kitchen design.
Below, we suggest how to combine Delta’s classic colours with current trends, so that every kitchen conveys comfort, personality and harmony.
A WARM AND NATURAL PALETTE: COCOA AND BONE GREY
- Cocoa: a deep earth tone, ideal for low furniture or islands, which brings warmth, elegance and a feeling of home. Being a dark and ‘grounded’ colour, it acts as a visual anchor.
- Off-white grey: perfect for walls, tall furniture or skirting boards, this light grey neutralises, brings light and spaciousness, and highlights the warm tone of cocoa.
This combination of warm tones with soft neutrals is very balanced: it adds depth and character without sacrificing brightness, a perfect formula for contemporary custom kitchens that seek comfort.
Furthermore, current trends favour warm neutrals and earth tones as the basis for cosy kitchens.
NATURAL AND FRESH TOUCH: BRIT GREEN + COMODO GREEN AND ROVERE
- Brit green / Commodore green: greens continue to play a leading role in 2025, especially in their deep, natural or organic versions (such as olive, moss, forest green, etc.). These shades bring serenity, a connection with nature and a timeless feel.
- Light oak: light wood or natural wood tones are key to balancing the strength of greens, adding warmth and texture. Introducing light oak into your bespoke furniture or accessories adds a natural and luminous touch.
This green and wood colour scheme is ideal when you want a calm, relaxed kitchen with natural character, perfect for homes where the kitchen is not only used for cooking, but also for socialising, having breakfast or chatting.
SOPHISTICATED CONTRAST: DARK OAK + DETAILS IN COCOA OR BONE GREY
For more understated, elegant or modern kitchens, you can opt for a dark rovere background, which adds depth, elegance and a rich visual relationship with other elements.
This trend towards dark tones and natural wood is very much in line with the return to ‘organic materials + warm colours’ proposed by kitchen design experts for 2025.
The dark base of the dark oak contrasts beautifully with cocoa details (finishes, skirting boards, islands) or bone grey (walls, display cabinets, handles), creating a bespoke kitchen with a sober, harmonious style and character.
DELTA TIPS: HOW TO COMBINE COLOURS WITHOUT MAKING MISTAKES
- Consider long-term versatility: a well-chosen colour palette will withstand passing trends. Shades such as moss green, warm greys or natural wood age well and allow you to refresh your kitchen with small changes (textiles, tiles, accessories) without the need for a complete renovation.
- Think in terms of layers and volumes: play with a dominant colour (low or high furniture), a light colour (walls or occasional furniture) and a natural material (light or dark wood) — this will give you depth and balance.
- Balance light and dark: if you use intense dark tones (cocoa, British green, dark oak), be sure to incorporate light elements so as not to lose brightness; off-white grey, light oak or light-coloured dashboards help a lot.
- Natural textures and quality materials: wood and earth tones evoke warmth and comfort; they combine beautifully with warm metals or soft fittings, ideal for cosy, timeless kitchens.

With the colour palettes we offer (cocoa + bone grey, brit/commodore green + rovere, dark rovere + warm details), you can create kitchens that reflect Delta’s values: functional design, high-quality materials and timeless aesthetics.
