Choosing the right colour for your kitchen can completely transform the space — but with so many shades and finishes available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. At G&E Interior Painting, we help homeowners across Portstewart, Coleraine, and the Causeway Coast make confident choices through our personalised colour consultation service.

Whether you’re planning a full kitchen refresh or a bespoke kitchen design, the perfect paint colour will set the tone, mood, and personality of your home.


🎨 Start with the Mood You Want to Create

Every colour tells a story. Before choosing shades, think about how you want your kitchen to feel:

  • Warm and welcoming – soft creams, taupes, and muted greens work beautifully in family kitchens.
  • Bright and airy – whites, light greys, or coastal blues are perfect for smaller or north-facing rooms.
  • Bold and dramatic – deep navy, charcoal, or forest green can add real depth and sophistication.

Our colour consultation helps you identify tones that match your light levels, room size, and existing finishes — ensuring your kitchen feels both balanced and personal.

🪄 Consider Your Cupboards First

If you’re planning a kitchen cupboard painting project, your cabinet colour will set the foundation for the whole design.
A few tried-and-tested combinations:

  • Warm neutrals on cupboards + crisp white walls = timeless and versatile.
  • Deep green cupboards + brass hardware = classic and rich.
  • Soft blue-grey cupboards + oak worktops = coastal calm (perfect for Portstewart homes).

💡 Look at the Bigger Picture

Think beyond your cabinets — your wall colour, ceiling, flooring, and even appliances play a part in your bespoke kitchen design.

  • Neutral walls can make coloured cabinets stand out beautifully.
  • Matching your walls and cupboards in a single tone can create a sleek, modern look.
  • Contrasting colours add energy and make details pop.

During your colour consultation, we’ll help you visualise how everything works together, including undertones and how the colour shifts in different light throughout the day.


🌿 Be Inspired by Nature

The Causeway Coast is filled with natural beauty — from cool coastal blues to sandy neutrals and forest greens.
Many of our clients choose palettes inspired by the local landscape to bring a sense of calm and connection indoors.

We can recommend paint shades that reflect your surroundings and complement your kitchen’s architecture — whether you live in a modern Coleraine home or a character-filled Portstewart cottage.
