Discover the Most Charming and Wonderful English Kitchen

Although green cabinets are trending in the kitchen these days, I keep finding pretty blue kitchens, like today’s super charming and cozy English kitchen by LDa Architecture & Interiors that includes a corner breakfast nook. This is 100% my kind of kitchen. Not too big, not too small, and aesthetically appealing.

A more panoramic view allows you to see how the checkerboard floor works so great in this space. It’s a grayer shade of blue than the cabinets and adds character.

The corner breakfast nook enjoys a colorful, contemporary painting paired with a wooden table and chairs snuggled up to a built-in banquette. A unique light fixture adds interest, along with the windowpane checked shade tucked into a window with Victorian bullseye trim.

Look closely and you’ll see a ceramic rabbit resting on the windowsill behind a pair of pretty pillows. The end of the banquette reveals a door that opens up to storage. This angle of the breakfast nook reveals the texture of the table top.

The blue English kitchen leads out to a private courtyard for ease in al fresco dining. A gorgeous wood hutch is revealed in the corner opposite the breakfast table.

A marbled backsplash complements the pale blue cabinets and checkered floor. It’s such a restful color and the perfect hue for starting your day with a morning cup of coffee.

A fun pop of yellow is used through the Kitchen Aid mixer that’s left out on the counter as an accent piece. Brushed gold hardware lends a touch of elegance to the cabinetry.

I recently painted my own kitchen cabinets a slightly darker shade of blue and a currently adding more colorful accents, as opposed to all the white pieces I have. I never thought I’d go back to a blue kitchen (my first kitchen was country blue) but I’m glad I did.

  1. I am totally in agreement about the size and aesthetic of this kitchen…except for the floors. I’m just not a big fan of checkerboard floors. But the rest…Especially the marble backsplash! Ooh la la! Oops, it’s an English theme not French! And by the way, your kitchen cabinets are such a beautiful shade of blue. Can you share the color? Thanks for your wonderful and inspiring posts!

  2. This is a warm and inviting kitchen. I like the look of white kitchens, but they never feel warm and inviting and do not encourage me to linger. I also like the little table and chairs. My present kitchen does not have a breakfast area and I sorely miss it.
    It is so nice to see people going back to color. I am heartily tired of bland white farmhouse style and have returned to lots of color in my home decorating and it has made a world of difference. I like warm and cozy interiors with interesting objects.

  3. Lovely kitchen, those blue cabinets are the perfect blue color and I love that light over the breakfast area.

  4. I totally agree that this is about the perfect size kitchen. Like just about everything in this kitchen. The color, the style, the layout. Only one little thing I would change if it was mine. That painting would have to be replaced with something else. But that’s just a matter of preference. It’s a wonderful kitchen.
