If you are planning to renovate the kitchen in your community centre, have you thought about the colour (or colours) you would like?

When people understand that they need a mild steel kitchen for hygiene and durability, they sometimes assume that they won’t have much choice for colour. However, when you partner with designers like Steelplan Kitchens, there is an array of colour options, which will help you make your kitchen a welcoming, vibrant, and enjoyable space.

Here are some of the ways to use colour in your kitchen, and the effect that certain shades can have on the people who use the space.

Using colour to match the character of your community

A kitchen will always be a functional space first and foremost, but practicality does not need to come at the expense of character. If you have a vibrantly coloured community centre, then you can continue that tone in the kitchen. The right finish can make your kitchen feel as bright and exciting as the rest of the building, and help more people feel excited to use it.

Equally, you might choose more muted tones if your community prefers less exuberant colours, but the same principle applies — the kitchen should feel welcoming, not industrial, making people feel at ease like a domestic-style kitchen, but with the advantage of greater durability and hygiene.

Choose one of Steelplan’s polyester-powder-coated mild steel kitchens, and you will get a choice of 18 finishes, so that you can create a kitchen that lasts for decades, and that your whole community will be excited to use.

Using colour to improve kitchen accessibility

Kitchen accessibility is not just about physical features. For example, for younger people, vibrant colours are more welcoming and attractive, and for those with visual impairments, it can be very useful for navigating the kitchen. Choose a finish that makes your kitchen as accessible as possible for any members of your community with specific requirements, and you could make the experience of cooking safer, more pleasant, and more widely shared.

How colour can help your kitchen with outreach and revenue generation

Looking outward beyond your immediate community, a bright and colourful kitchen not only makes the space more welcoming and friendly, it also makes it more memorable. If you create a kitchen that is well-equipped without being austere and intimidating, people will want to keep using it and hiring it, and you might well find more repeat bookings and more revenue for your establishment.

Plus, when your kitchen has a broader and more diverse appeal, it maximises the range of bookings that you attract, which also helps to keep the bookings coming.
