9+ Blue Kitchen Cabinets Australia – Ideas You’ll Fall in Love With
Are you considering using blue in your kitchen design? Thinking of incorporating some blue kitchen cabinets? Whether you are going for a sleek modern kitchen design, a Hamptons style or a traditional styled kitchen, introducing some blue in your cabinetry can add some personality without being overwhelming.
You can use navy blue as a neutral and it can work as an alternative to black or grey. Opt for blue paints that contain dark undertones and grey in them for this to work as a neutral alternative.
The colour blue works well in two-tones kitchens especially when combined with white, or soft neutrals like light grey. Below you will see kitchen paint design ideas using Dulux kitchen cupboard paints as well as Porter’s Paints and Taubmans.
Here is a selection of blue paint colors available at Bunnings in Australia used in real kitchens to help you make the right colour choice for your kitchen.
Dulux Oolong – A Dark Blue Paint Color
Oolong is a beautiful deep grey with a subtle blue undertone that is perfect to use for an accent wall inside, or as a trim or feature outside. In kitchens this colour is perfect for kitchen islands and bottom kitchen cabinets.
White kitchen cabinets and a subtle dark gray blue kitchen island painted in Dulux Oolong kitchen cabinet paint color.
An oversized island bench topped with honed dolomite stone makes a dark, dramatic statement in Dulux Oolong, with ‘Wovenest’ bar stools from Modanest tucked underneath. Shaker-style cupboards were custom-made by All Aspects Joinery and painted in Dulux Whisper White. Of her Miele appliances, Nerida is particularly fond of the steam oven. “The steamer is amazing!” she says. “It’s on twice a day and we love it.” A ‘Sovereign’ urn from Provincial Home Living housing a beautiful bunch of flowers is among the home’s chic styling touches, as is a Katie Wyatt artwork on the rear bench – Nerida found the other artwork about 15 years ago at a market on the Sunshine Coast.

The first blues we tried were way too vivid, so we kept going darker and finally settled on Oolong by Dulux, which is a bit greyer in flat paint, but in the two-pack is the perfect deep blue

Dulux Bay’s Water – A Light Pastel Blue for Your Kitchen Cabinets
A midtone greyed-off cool blue, Bay’s Water can be used as feature colour inside or out. This stunning calming blue pairs perfectly with crisp whites.
Pastel blue works just as well as a navy blue for a tranquil yet stylish look.
A perfect example of a modern, Hamptons style, this project fuses traditional and contemporary elements to create a timeless design and hard-working, functional family kitchen. While white is often the go-to colour for the Hamptons aesthetic, Smith & Smith Kitchens opted for a soft, pale blue for this design – a welcome break from the conventional and traditional colour scheme associated with this style.
Designed by Beth Paron on behalf of Smith & Smith Kitchens, this ingenious and innovative kitchen replaced an existing layout, elevating the space into a simplified area for the modern family. Transforming the original U-shape blueprint into an L-shape arrangement that features an island bench and shaker style cabinetry, this formation boosts functionality and accessibility within the kitchen, while improving storage access and convenience.
The inclusion of natural elements was a conscious choice to maintain the stylistic cohesion between the kitchen and the abode. A cost-effective alternative to its natural counterparts, engineered stone benchtops were installed to complement the timber flooring and pastel blue cabinetry.
