Bring color, character, and a breath of fresh air into your kitchen—one beautiful blue accent at a time.

You may choose to incorporate blue right into your cabinetry, or you can intentionally add the sophisticated charm of blue in creative and thoughtful ways. From statement islands to subtle tilework, there are countless ways to infuse this versatile hue into your space. Whether your vibe is moody, nautical, or soft and serene, here are six designer-approved ways to work blue into your Rhode Island kitchen—effortlessly.

Create Dimension With a Blue Island

A contrasting island is the perfect place to add a pop of color—especially a rich navy or deep teal. It draws the eye, adds depth to the room, and works beautifully in both modern and classic kitchens.

Choose a Blue Range or Hood

For the design-savvy homeowner, a custom-colored appliance or a blue-painted range hood is a showstopping focal point. It instantly elevates a neutral kitchen into something unforgettable.

Opt for a Blue Backsplash

Tile is a fantastic medium for playing with blue. Try hand-glazed zellige in indigo, classic blue-and-white patterned ceramic, or a modern navy chevron. It’s eye-catching and easy to update later.

Bring Blue into Your Seating

Whether it’s navy velvet on counter stools or distressed sky-blue paint on a set of antique chairs, seating is a stylish place to add color—and comfort.

Highlight Your Doors

If selecting blue cabinetry doors feels too big of a commitment, what about your pantry or entrance doors? Adding a pop of color with your doors is an excellent option to bring in some of that color you are looking for and can help tie in the rest of the home!

Introduce Blue Through Stone or Quartzite

Yes—blue can show up in natural stone, too. Look for quartzite slabs with blue-gray veining or hints of indigo. It’s subtle, sophisticated, and completely unique.
