What Makes a Kitchen a Cashmere Kitchen?
A cashmere kitchen gets its name from its colour, and not from its style. A cashmere kitchen is a kitchen that is typically made up of warm neutral shades with a greyish-white base and subtle reddish undertones. This versatile colour works well across various kitchen styles, from modern to traditional and even shaker kitchens.
Read on to discover various ways to style a cashmere kitchen.
Styling Your Cashmere Kitchen
To style a cashmere kitchen, focus on complementing soft, neutral tones with elegant accessories. You could opt for brushed brass or matte gold handles to add a modern contrast against warm and earthy cashmere cabinets.
Soft gold or copper accents, such as light fixtures or tap finishes, can also add warmth and richness. If you are aiming to maintain an earthy theme, you could also introduce natural textures by using wooden cutting boards or woven baskets to bring in a cozy, rustic touch.
What Worktops Can be Used for Cashmere Kitchens?
Worktops and kitchen units that can be used with cashmere kitchens will ultimately depend on your choice of style. We understand that everyone has different tastes in style and so we have provided some examples of kitchen worktops and kitchen units that could work together. There are a variety of suitable options that can be used for a cashmere kitchen worktop – these include marble, granite, and oak.
Quartz Worktops
Quartz worktops are possibly the most popular choice at present when pairing with a cashmere kitchen.
Think of what colour theme you are aiming to achieve in your home. For example, if you are going for a luxurious finish, you may want to consider using white quartz for that sophisticated look, with grey or gold accents. You can pair this with matt kitchen units.
Marble Worktops
Style your cashmere kitchen using marble worktops. Marble worktops are a firm favourite if you are after that timeless elegance, especially when coupled with natural tones for a classic-themed kitchen. You could pair this with gloss-finish kitchen units for the ultimate luxury feel.
Wood Worktops
If you are aiming to achieve a more rustic look that is also versatile, earthy wood tones are considered a great choice for worktop colours as they add a natural warmth to the space and complement the natural hues of cashmere kitchens perfectly.
You could also consider using gold or caramel colour worktop counters for an earthy look with that added luxury feel.
Sintered Stone Worktops
Sintered stone worktops offer a variety of options, from neutral-toned hues to white, cream or even light grey. For a timeless look, consider white with light grey, a natural but beautiful look that brings through the warmth of cashmere cabinets.
Laminate Worktops
For a budget-friendly worktop option, consider using laminate. Though cheaper than marble or quartz, this surface still offers an attractive appearance. These are available in a variety of colours. It’s important to note though, that laminate worktops are not as heat-resistant as others, such as stone, for example. For more information, it’s best to get guidance from your kitchen installer on what surfaces are best to use for your kitchen. You can also extend the life of your kitchen countertop with the right care and maintenance.
What Colours Go with Cashmere Kitchens?
As cashmere kitchens are generally light and earthy in colour, you will be pleased to know that you can pair your worktops or kitchen units with a variety of colours to suit your home.
Popular choices include lighter natural tones such as white, warm white, light greys, and taupe. These tend to complement cashmere’s soft neutral tone.
Calming Atmosphere with Muted Greens, Warm Greys or Soft Browns
For a calming atmosphere, you may want to consider muted greens, warm greys or soft browns. These can effortlessly blend in with your cashmere kitchen. It’s probably a good idea to choose colours that maintain a calming atmosphere created by the light and earthy tones that cashmere portrays, something that is welcoming but also offers a bit of sophistication.
Bold and Dramatic Styled Cashmere Kitchen
If you are after something more dramatic or bold, but also something that enhances your space with a touch of luxury, you might want to consider complementing your cashmere kitchen with a cobalt blue or dark grey colour. This avoids overpowering the delicacy that is associated with cashmere but adds a bold touch.
Taupe and Warm Whites for a Natural, Comfy and Cosy Feel
For a more comfortable and cosier ambience, you may want to consider neutral shades such as taupe and warm whites which help create a space that feels light and but also inviting. You could brighten up this natural look with a patterned feature, for example, patterned flooring.
