Brown & yellow kitchens
From soft, earthy browns to rich, deep timber-inspired tones, discover shades that bring warmth and depth to your kitchen.
Colour guide
Start with the light
Brown has many nuances, from lighter shades with hints of taupe and caramel to deeper tones with red or chocolate undertones. The light in your home plays an important part in how each colour appears, influencing its warmth and depth throughout the day.
Your designer will help you explore the options and find a shade that feels right for your space, bringing samples into your home so you can see them in your own light.

Warm brown or yellow cabinetry works beautifully alongside lighter surfaces and natural materials, helping to balance its richness. Pair with warm whites, creamy stone and natural oak for a softer feel, or introduce brass and textured finishes for added warmth.
- North-facing: Choose warmer shades such as Burnt Sugar, Oeuf and Whiskey to bring warmth to cooler light
- East and south-facing: soft blues, warm whites, most colours
- Paint a large swatch and move it around the room through the day
