The easiest and speediest way to update your kitchen? A spoonful of colour.

Wheter you want to put a personal stamp on your kitchen (without the cost of getting a new one) or just fancy a change, you'd be surprised at what a difference a fresh lick of paint on your cupboards can make to the overall look and feel of your kitchen.

Ready for an easy update? Before forking out on a renovation, here are three stylish and speedy colour scheme ideas for cabinets.

Grey Matter

Give off-white walls, such as Easycare Kitchen in Timeless, more pizzaz with bolder shades, such as this dark grey Urban Obsession, and a balancing neutral shade, such as Natural Hessian.

Expert tip: Keep bolder shades to cabinets below eye level to reduce their prominence in the room, ensuring your kitchen dtays light, airy and delicious!

Fresh Faced

Whether you live in the sticks or the big smoke, channel a little countryside calm in a busy kitchen.

For a cosy scheme, stick to a nature-inspired palette.

Pair soft green walls in Easycare Kitchen Melon Sorbet with warm neutral cabinets in Natural Hessian in Quick Dry Gloss. Welcome to the great indoors...

Expert tip: For a smooth finish, you might want to use a small roller on doors.

Turn up the heat

This Tasty colour scheme balances bold, bright walls in Easycare Kitchen Pepper Red with soft White Cotton cabinets.

Make your colour scheme unique by playing with an additional soft shade on the cabinet fronts, such as Chic Shadow. Keeping these colours neutreal helps the kitchen feel inviting without being overwhelmig. What a culinary delight.

Expert Tip: For cabinets with a tricky surface, such as melamine, use Dulux Difficult Surface Primer before painting.
