How to Choose the Right Cookware Colour for Your Kitchen Aesthetic

When you’re picking new cookware, colour probably isn’t the first thing you think about. But once you’ve sorted the size, shape and function, choosing a colour you actually love using (and looking at) makes a difference. Especially if your Dutch oven is going to live on the bench or get used every other night.

Whether your kitchen’s soft and neutral or bold and modern, the right Dutch oven colour can elevate the whole space without overdoing it. It adds warmth, ties everything together, and makes even your Tuesday night pasta look just that little bit more put-together. Here’s how to choose the right colour for your kitchen.

If You Love a Soft, Dreamy Look… Go a Pink Dutch Oven 

For light, airy kitchens with lots of white, timber or neutral tones, a pink Dutch oven adds a gentle hit of colour that still feels calm and cohesive. It’s warm, subtle and a little bit nostalgic, but still works beautifully in modern spaces. It looks especially good on open shelving or left out on the stovetop, where it adds instant charm without demanding attention.

For a Classic, Timeless Feel… Choose a Blue Dutch Oven

You can’t go wrong with a blue Dutch oven. It works in almost every kitchen style (minimal, rustic, coastal, traditional) and adds richness without feeling heavy. Pair it with pale stone, brushed metal or soft grey tiles and you’ve got a setup that feels considered without being too matchy. Blue also looks great next to wood, which makes it perfect for kitchens with timber floors or open shelving.

Blue is a classic for a reason!

For a Kitchen That Feels Calm and Grounded… A Green Dutch Oven 

There’s something about green that’s so effortlessly cool. A green Dutch oven feels natural, earthy and relaxed. It’s perfect if your kitchen already leans into soft tones, natural textures, or anything that resembles a well-loved cottage. Whether you go with a muted sage or a deeper forest tone, green pairs beautifully with whites, brass, timber and even black accents.

For Small Kitchens That Need Warmth.. Opt for an Orange Dutch Oven 

If you’ve got a compact space or a lot of white and metal, an orange Dutch oven can bring in that much-needed warmth without making the space feel cramped. It’s bold in the best way, just enough colour to lift the room, without clashing with your other pieces. Let it be the star. Leave it on the stove, style it with a timber board or a linen towel, and you’ve got yourself a feature and a functional everyday piece.

Want Something a Bit Unexpected? Try a Purple Dutch Oven 

It’s not the obvious choice, and that’s exactly why we love it. A purple Dutch oven brings a sense of depth and softness that’s surprisingly versatile. It looks beautiful in light kitchens, but also adds mood to darker spaces. If your style leans a little eclectic or you love the idea of having cookware no one else has, purple’s the pick.

Love Bright, Happy Kitchens? A Yellow Dutch Oven is Your Colour

Nothing lifts a space like a bit of sunshine. A yellow Dutch oven brings joy and warmth to the kitchen, whether your space is sleek and modern or relaxed and retro. It plays well with navy, sage, charcoal, and almost any kind of timber or tile. If you like your kitchen to feel cheerful, relaxed and full of personality, yellow’s a big yes.
