Dubbed the “feel-good hue of the year,” butter yellow is making its way from fashion runways and living room walls right into the heart of the home. And it’s easy to see why. This soft, creamy shade is the perfect pick-me-up for kitchens, delivering a dose of sunshine whatever the weather. While sleek monochrome and cool minimalism have had their moment, we’re feeling inspired by butter yellow.

Soft pastel shades, that reflect the days getting brighter and flowers starting to bloom—are making a vibrant comeback in kitchen design. Pastel tones are having a major moment. These gentle hues are making their way into the heart of the home, and it’s easy to see why. Delicate pinks, minty greens, powder blues and creamy peaches bring an instant mood-lift and a touch of serenity to any space.

At Caple, we have seen the growing trend for kitchens to feel more personal and lived-in spaces that are bright, welcoming, and expressive. Pastel palettes tick every box. Our Langly Dusty Rose range offers a soft, romantic touch with its dusty pink tones, while Shoreditch Moss brings a breath of nature indoors with its subtle, sage-like green.

Looking for something fresh? Winford Sea Salt is a beautifully understated pale blue that feels fresh and coastal, ideal for creating an airy, open kitchen. For those drawn to warmer tones, Pensford Cashmere introduces a creamy softness that feels both modern and timeless. And if you want a more organic look, Harptree Thyme blends earthy greens with a touch of countryside charm—perfect for grounding a pastel palette.

Not ready to go all-in with colour? No problem. Introduce pastels in small but eye-catching ways:

• Opt for soft-toned cabinetry in shaker styles for a fresh yet timeless look.
• Add warmth with colourful bar stools, soft furnishings, or wall tiles in sun-washed tones.

We have a vast selection of gorgeous coloured kitchens, but if you still can’t find the shade you’re looking for, why not use our bespoke painted colour service. Our bespoke service means we can match your chosen In-Frame Caple kitchen to any paint manufacturers colour swatch, giving you limitless options.

Colour isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about how your kitchen makes you feel. And right now, we’re all craving spaces that feel comforting, cheerful, and just a little bit sunny.
