At A Glance: Colourful Kitchens
Kitchens are often the heart of a home, and when it comes to shoot locations, they’re just as important. Whether it’s a lifestyle brand, a food campaign, or a commercial, the kitchen tends to set the tone. It's where the action happens, and where the eye naturally lands. A well-chosen kitchen can give your whole project a lift.
Colour plays a big part in that. It can shape the mood of a scene, act as a bold backdrop for products, or quietly add character that makes everything feel more lived-in and real. Whether you’re after complementary tones to create a sense of calm or sharper contrasts to catch the eye, the right colour choices bring more depth without the need for complicated sets.
At Location Creation, we’ve noticed a growing appetite for colourful kitchens. Brands are stepping away from safe, neutral backdrops and looking for spaces with a bit more personality. Maximalist interiors are also on the rise (more on that soon), and kitchens are leading the charge - layered, styled, and anything but boring.
If you have a specific look in mind, many of our locations are available for decorating or painting to suit your brief. Just let us know before booking so we can talk you through what’s possible. A quick conversation early on can open up a lot of creative options!
