A new field of expression, the kitchen plays with convention and abandons its quest for timelessness to let personality and creativity speak for themselves. The era of the discreet, the aseptic and the banal is over. The kitchen is becoming a room as colorful and sophisticated as the bedroom or the dining room, and optimistic shades are parading with audacity without compromising on purity and elegance.
This art of breathing color into the kitchen is carried by designers and creators like Dries Otten, Jäll & Tofta or Plum, a young French brand with a 100% digital and customizable path. It seizes this mode of expression and plays with colors, combinations and finishes to impose its cutting edge style with an extra touch of temperament. Moodboard.

Color as an personality expression
Three years ago, since its creation, Plum has opened its door to creativity and asserted its originality by giving life to kitchens with personality. Its fronts and accessories dress up Ikea Metod and Pax cabinets with an infinite number of combinations and finishes that venture into color and even all-over. Its palette of more than 30 shades is enriched this season with four new fresh and vibrant shades: Celadon, Electric, Leaf and Lemonde.
Blue electrifies moods
We saw it in Harry Nuriev’s Crosby Café in Paris, in the offices designed by the Halleroed studio in New York and even on Alexander McQueen’s spring-summer 2023 looks: electric blue is the color of the decade. Magnetic, graphic and furiously electric, it’s particularly well suited to the kitchen to give it a contemporary boost.

Go green
Invigorating and terribly invigorating, green also invites itself onto the kitchen facade to inject a dose of optimism. Matte or with satin highlights, it deploys its comforting green nuances in a style that is minimalist and striking at the same time.

Water mint color
Celadon green and its minty shades are also making their majestic entry into the kitchen designer’s palette. Like green water, its alter ego, it is powdery and acidic, soft and bright, tonic and sweaty, discreet and singular, and draws a deeply pleasing universe.
