When it comes to moody color choices, blue is a personal favorite. Navy is incredibly versatile, pairing well with neutrals and light shades, as well as bold and striking. Kylie Minogue is proving my point with her kitchen, which she recently shared a snap of on Instagram.

The space is light and airy, with a mix of white tiles alongside navy blue tiles, making for a contrasting combination that uses dark blue to simultaneously brighten and elevate the space.

According to design experts, blue is one of the best color choices for creating a calming kitchen. When paired with white kitchen cabinets, just like Kylie's, you are left with a space that's both tranquil and traditonal, without feeling overly vanilla.

'Blue is renowned for its ability to instill a sense of tranquility and relaxation,' explains Westchester-based designer Nina Lichtenstein.

'Lighter shades like sky blue or aqua evoke a beachy, coastal vibe, perfect for a breezy and laid-back kitchen atmosphere. Deeper blues, such as navy or indigo, bring depth and sophistication, creating a more dramatic and cozy feel. Overall, blue sets a harmonious tone that encourages a peaceful and inviting environment.'

To recreate this look in your own kitchen, opt for some blue and white tiles like Kylie for a fresh, Mediterranean-inspired space. Alternatively, these gorgeous vases would make fantastic countertop accessories, while this pack of napkins is great to have on hand for any dinner parties or special occasions.

These Wayfair canisters are also fabulous, with plenty of storage potential – perfect for getting the Kylie look without the investment.
