Orange Kitchen Paint Colours

Does your current kitchen decor leave you feeling uninspired come mealtimes? It’s time to ditch the hues that are currently drenching your walls and add some warmth with a brand-new colour scheme. If you’re searching for an easy way to add warmth and vibrancy to your room, why not use orange paint colours? 

You might have experience with painting an orange bathroom or introducing citrus notes to a living space. If so, you’ll understand what this intense colour family can do for a room. Full of zestiness and perfect for feature walls, a little goes a long way. 

You don’t need to coat every wall of a kitchen with orange emulsion paint. Instead, use it as a lively base for a more complex colour scheme. Orange works particularly well with neighbouring shades like yellow but also sits beautifully alongside lush greens and earthy browns. In other words, the design potential of an orange kitchen is limitless. 

Ready to wake up the whole household in the morning? Use a rusty orange to revitalise your kitchen. This sunny shade has glorious notes of yellow, with a copper tint bringing an air of sophistication. 

Although bright, it’s not overwhelming, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen colour palette. It will pair perfectly with all-white cabinets, solid black units and authentic wood finishes alike. For a timeless aesthetic, pair it with crisp white or a yellow-infused neutral.  

Are you looking for a light orange paint colour to freshen up your kitchen? Peachskin is a premium choice, with this fruity favourite brightening up any space. What’s more, a hint of copper makes it a good option for a more contemporary kitchen. 

A great pairing with classic white units and wood cabinetry, you can even use this alongside darker units in kitchens calling out for some contrast. It’s also worth taking note of those copper undertones and bringing in some metallic accents. 

Some of the best paint colours say it all in a name. Slightly Peach is light and subdued, offering up a subtle interpretation of the popular stone fruit. It’s a more delicate choice for those who aren’t overly keen on zesty citrus hues and works well in a more demure interior. 

If you prefer pared-back aesthetics, use it alongside a warm neutral or classic white when tackling those little details. For a more modern cooking space, look to contemporary colour options like jewel tones or on-trend greige. You can even be adventurous with a hint of dark purple or moody umber.

Here’s another stunning peach that’s ideal for those who aren’t ready to fully embrace citrus hues. Soft and creamy, this shaded hue has some subtle pink undertones that bring a simmering warmth to any wall. 

It should work well in a kitchen with white cabinets, but you’ll also find it’s a perfect pairing with all-wooden units and rustic fixtures. If you are in the market for a more modern kitchen, use this shade as a ceiling paint or finishing colour alongside a more daring orange.

Playful by name, playful by nature. Birthday Suit might be a soft and subdued shade, but this veiled orange packs some simmering red undertones that make it a warm and uplifting addition to any kitchen colour scheme. 

However, it’s a far cry from intense and overwhelming, making this easygoing orange a fine choice for those with more reserved tastes. If you’re not ready to discover a new corner of the colour wheel, pair this orange with timeless taupes and honeyed hues. However, if you want to experiment with different moods, reach for contemporary corals, spicy cinnamon shades and pink-infused paint colours to enrich your cooking space. 

Here’s another gorgeous orange paint colour that looks rather reserved at first glance. Shrimp Salad is a teddy bear brown-infused orange, with subtle dashes of taupe making it a classic companion to neutral decors. 

Any wall painted with this muted orange will look sensational. A great addition to a contemporary kitchen, this understated hue works well alongside shades like grey, but don’t be afraid to make things more interesting with a modern palette rich in greige and jewel.

In the mood for something a little warmer? A midtone like Coral Dawn might just impress. This apricot orange is rich and refined, with undertones of spicy cinnamon adding even more heat. It’s strong enough that you can use it as your only kitchen colour, with a crisp white accent all that’s needed to bring things together. 

However, as with any paint colour in our range, it’s a shame to leave this shade without any company. If you’re open to creating a more interesting kitchen palette, think about using subdued browns and pink-infused neutrals for a more contemporary aesthetic.

If you’re overhauling an all-white kitchen, you’re probably going to want to avoid saturated citrus tones. Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of pared-back paint colours in our collection that will interest you. Jasmine Flower is understated and effortlessly elegant, with a peachy pigment and copper-tinged backbone that makes it a step up from all-white walls and magnolia-drenched decor schemes. 

Perfect for open-plan kitchen diners, this paint colour also makes a harmonious addition to spaces that are shared with living areas. Even if the rest of your interiors are decked out in crisp white, this beautiful orange-inspired shade will bring warmth and energy.

Here’s another fairly soft take on orange that still manages to pack a punch. Light and understated, this autumnal hue has notes of pumpkin and peach. If you’re using it on every wall, it will bring a surprising amount of character to any cooking space. What’s more, those spicy undertones make it a practical choice for north-facing rooms. 

Use it on its own if you want to keep things simple, or experiment with other neutrals for an understated tonal effect. For something with slightly more depth, introduced veiled whites, golden taupes and barely-there blush shades. 

If you’re decorating a smaller kitchen, you probably think that rich colours are out of the equation. Say goodbye to that kind of thinking right now. A compact floor plan doesn’t mean you have to make compromises to colour, with Copper Trail making a wonderful addition to even the tiniest cooking space. 

This saturated orange is infused with notes of ginger, although it still manages to be fairly subdued. It’s so easygoing that you can use it to decorate every wall. If you’re the cautious type around colour, you can of course earmark it for a feature wall. To enliven your space even further, try bringing in notes of green and bold splashes of blue.
