Isn't this blue kitchen a beauty? Studio McGee did an incredible job on this remodel. <a href="https://www.studio-mcgee.com/studioblog/2015/8/4/lynwood-remodel-kitchen" rel="noopener" target="_blank">You have to see the what it looked like before.</a>They used Benjamin Moore "Hale Navy" on the lowers and "Super White" elsewhere. Gorgeous brass hardware adds a touch of glam, and the burnt orange leather stools against the blue really wows. Ditto the rattan pendants for texture.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreateWarm and Slick

Joanna Gaines does it again (does she ever have an off day?) with this ravishing blue beauty that feels a smidge country, a smidge luxe. The designer judiciously used blue on the hood vent and the island as accents, then brought in lots of wood for her signature rustic vibe. Trussed ceilings, foxy stools and a patterned backsplash are also big hits. <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/fixer-upper/photos/the-most-memorable-kitchens-by-chip-and-joanna-gaines-1904498/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">See here for the designer's 23 best kitchen designs</a>.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreateCountry Luxe

Marble Meets Blue

Pair dark blue with a streaky slab of marble and all of a sudden you've got the swankest kitchen in town. Designed by Joanna Gaines, this kitchen gets its prize-winning look from the mix of materials, including miles of subway tile. And the doses of black, from the pot filler to the faucet, are right on trend.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreateMarble Meets Blue

Toronto designer <a href="https://www.rebeccahaydesigns.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Rebecca Hay</a> created this striking kitchen using a variety of clever flourishes that prove the power is in the details, and the mix. The lulling marble mosaic backsplash yokes the two-tone cabinetry together — the lowers are Benjamin Moore's "Newbury Port Blue", and the uppers are "Cloud White". And the yellow accents are simply darling.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreateA Striking View

Here's another angle of that kitchen by Rebecca Hay. A full-height pantry means lots of room to stow essentials. Brass pulls look sharp against the blue and play off the pendant. And we love those yellow stools — blue's best buddy.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreateDream Pantry

Unlike black, it's subtler and more unexpected. Copy Kortney's style by framing out the windows to match.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreateFrame it Out

Natural light floods this drop-dead gorgeous kitchen designed by US-based <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ohfarmhouse/?hl=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Oliver Hazard</a>, illuminating all that glorious deep blue. We love the colour against the brass pulls from Restoration Hardware. Glass-front cabinets brilliantly break up the cabinetry, and allow the homeowners to show off their pretty dishware. Caesarstone countertops link up with subway tile for a wall of white, and a perfect contrast.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreateFarmhouse Finery

For an updated country kitchen, use brilliant blue like Jillian Harris did. Be sure to add fancy chef-worthy appliances and a mini herringbone tile backsplash that meanders all the way to the ceiling. Silver accents — in the pulls, faucet and bread stand — add sparkle and brightness.Kitchens15 Gorgeous Dark Blue Kitchen Designs You'll Want to Re-CreatePretty in Blue
