Escape the Safe Kitchen – The boldest decision is choosing something you love. Explore our four new paint colours.
For years, kitchens have been shaped by trends, resale value and what feels “safe.” But the colours we’re naturally drawn to are often far more personal, familiar shades that feel instinctive and timeless. That’s why our designers always encourage clients to choose colours they genuinely connect with. Now, we’re seeing a shift towards kitchens designed around individuality, emotion and self-expression.
Introducing four new additions to our palette, Pink Salt, Sandstone, Sloeberry and Sea Smoke, created for homeowners ready to move beyond the neutral kitchen and embrace a home with more character and personality.
Minimalist kitchens may appear simple, but inYellow kitchens are quietly making a comeback, with industry-wide research showing 47% of designers now see yellow as a colour choice growing in popularity.
Sandstone is far from a bright, primary shade or a heavy 1970s yellow. Softer and more muted, it sits somewhere between sun-warmed stone and late summer light. It’s welcoming, optimistic and the kind of colour that reflects joy back onto your everyday moments.
With this increased colour confidence, there’s no palette that isn’t an option for the kitchens of today, as searches for ‘pink kitchens’ rising by over 200% shows. Don’t picture the sugary Millennial Pink of years gone by. Pink Salt is softer, earthier, and far more grown-up.
Think natural stone, warm sunsets, and the soft glow of evening light. It brings personality without overwhelm and feels playful enough to spark conversation, yet timeless enough to live with for years to come.
Sloeberry is often the colour that gives people pause at first glance. Spend a little time with it though, and it quickly becomes the warmest, most comforting shade in the collection. Like a chocolate with a surprise centre, in natural light the deep tones of
Sloeberry melt luxuriously into something that feels more inviting than melodramatic.
Whether used on an island or across cabinetry, Sloeberry can be as bold or as understated as you want it to be.
Green and blue kitchens remain some of the most popular choices in home design, but Sea Smoke offers something a little more unexpected.
Sitting somewhere between deep teal, soft green and stormy blue, it feels saturated and bold at first glance. Then the light filters through, revealing softer green tones that make it feel calmer and fresher, mutable and surprisingly versatile.
Discover our new colours through beautifully curated moodboards and inspiring imagery in one of our nationwide showrooms. Samples of each shade will be available to explore across all Tom Howley showrooms, with personal design consultations available to help you see how these distinctive colours could work beautifully within your own home.
