What is the secret to its success? It creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, whilst at the same time lending the interior a sense of luxury. Cashmere kitchen furniture really does transform any kitchen into something elegant!
Cashmere is a warm, neutral colour, with a whitish, greyish base and a reddish undertone. It comes in both lighter and darker shades. It is essentially a soft, beige colour that works well in both traditional and modern kitchens.
Matt, cashmere finishes
A matt finish suits cashmere well, as it absorbs light rather than reflecting it. It is precisely for this reason that we recommend this velvety texture most of all for larger, open-plan kitchens where natural light flows freely. It pairs very well with a patterned splashback, but even a kitchen island in a darker colour can complement it nicely. A huge advantage of the matt, cashmere finish is that, as lighting conditions change, the colour always remains consistent, so you can admire it day and night.

We’d also wholeheartedly recommend this shade to those who prefer a more classic style, as this colour exudes sophistication and elegance. If you’re looking for a simple, clean-lined, timeless solution, you really can’t go far wrong with cashmere-coloured, sandblasted furniture. Most people who want light-coloured, brushed kitchen furniture opt for white, yet the cashmere shade can be a very good alternative. This is because the kitchen furniture remains just as neutral, yet creates a slightly more refined and perhaps a little more modern impression.
Glossy, cashmere-coloured kitchen furniture
As mentioned above, we tend to recommend the matt, cashmere shade for larger kitchens, whilst the glossy version is a very good alternative for small kitchens. If space is limited, it can be very helpful if the surface of the kitchen units reflects light, as this will make the room appear larger. Glossy, cashmere-finish surfaces lend a modern feel to the interior, but do ensure you choose high-quality materials so that your kitchen units remain scratch-free and are easier to clean.
Cashmere and pink go well together
Cashmere goes very well with shades of pink and lilac. If you do this, the end result will be a truly elegant, feminine kitchen that radiates gentle, soothing energy. This combination fills the space with warm, airy tones – provided, of course, that you use them in the right proportions.
The combination of cashmere and green
If all the kitchen furniture is in cashmere, the look can end up being rather dull and monotonous. Feel free to liven up the scheme with a bolder shade, such as green. This combination retains the natural, subtle effect, whilst still bringing a touch of dynamism to the interior. This can look great even in small kitchens, where, say, entirely dark furniture wouldn’t really be to advantage, but when complemented with cashmere, the end result will be much more airy.
Cashmere kitchen furniture really is a timeless choice – it’s both neutral and eye-catching, and lends a sense of luxury to the room.
