A colonial kitchen is the hearth of the house: painted panelling, a big farm table and copper and pewter in plain view.

What a colonial kitchen looks like

Cabinets are raised-panel in muted colonial blue, sage or cream, with black iron or brass latches and hinges. Counters are butcher block or soapstone, floors are wide pine planks, and a deep farmhouse sink sits beneath a small-paned window. A large farm table stands in the centre, a hutch or open dresser shows pewter and blue-and-white china, and a painted wood or brick surround frames the cooktop. Light comes from a lantern pendant or a candle-style chandelier.

Try it on your own kitchen

Upload a photo of your kitchen, restyle it in Colonial, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. Your cabinet boxes, appliance openings and window stay where they are; door fronts, counters, hardware, floor tone and lighting are what change.

Details worth getting right

  • Muted historic paint colours look right where saturated ones don't
  • Iron latches and hinges are the detail that says colonial
  • An open hutch of blue-and-white china is both storage and decoration
  • Choose wide pine plank floors with visible grain and pegs where possible
