The Art of Kitchen Elegance - Exploring Belling Richmond Deluxe Colour Options

We’ve partnered with Wendy Moore, a renowned designer, to bring expert styling guidance to customers. Her insights make it easier to visualise how each colour works in real kitchens and how to pair it with benchtops, cabinetry, flooring, and hardware – helping you create a space that feels both beautiful and personal. Available here.

Core Colours

• Anthracite: A sleek matte finish that introduces contemporary confidence, offering a bold yet refined look that complements modern kitchens. Pair it with concrete textures, structured stone, and gleaming hardware for an industrial-inspired aesthetic.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “Anthracite is a finish that brings depth and sophistication to a space. I love it in industrial-inspired kitchens where surfaces like polished concrete, structured stone, and matte black fixtures create layers of texture. You can also mix metallics – chrome, brass, and gold work beautifully – to add contrast and interest. Open shelving looks fantastic here, letting your cookware become part of the décor, and it’s a colour that anchors a room while still allowing other design elements to shine.”
• Black: A dramatic, glossy finish that brings modern confidence and works beautifully with matte stone, rich timbers, and warm whites. Create a striking, contemporary feel by pairing with contrasting surfaces and textures.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “Black is bold and luxurious, giving a kitchen a strong sense of style and sophistication. It works brilliantly when paired with rich wooden elements and warm, tactile finishes like veined stone or textured tiles. I recommend highlighting black with high-shine chrome or brass hardware – it enhances the oven’s presence and makes it feel like the centerpiece of the kitchen. Black appliances allow you to balance dramatic contrasts with lighter surfaces, giving your kitchen a perfectly curated, layered look.”
• Cream: A soft, warm tone that adds timeless elegance and pairs effortlessly with oak, marble, brass accents, and tactile textures. This colour suits both classic and contemporary schemes.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “Cream brings a gentle warmth that feels comforting yet sophisticated. It’s a wonderful companion to soft, muted shades like blues and greens, and it pairs beautifully with warm-toned stone and oiled oak flooring. When styling, think about layering textures – a textured backsplash, brushed metals, or a tactile timber surface will create dimension. Rose gold or brass hardware works wonderfully to complete the look, and the tone is flexible enough to support both classic and contemporary kitchen styles.”

Colour Boutique 

• Ice White: Crisp and luminous, creating a clean and fresh feel. Works beautifully with bold statement cabinetry, pale timbers, and textured surfaces for a bright, contemporary aesthetic.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “Ice White is ideal if you want a kitchen to feel open and luminous. It allows you to play with statement cabinetry and textured tiles without the room feeling heavy or cluttered. I love pairing it with natural timbers and tactile finishes like panelled or scalloped cabinetry. A butler’s sink is a perfect complement – it grounds the space while maintaining clarity. This colour works well with subtle accents in stone, brass, or chrome for a crisp, considered finish.”
• Seafoam Blue: A muted, coastal-inspired tone that brings calm and serenity to the kitchen. Pairs effortlessly with whitewashed oak, light ash, soft terrazzo, chrome details, and tactile textures.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “Seafoam Blue evokes the feeling of a sun-drenched ocean pool, giving a room a naturally relaxing vibe. I love using it with light ash, pale timber, soft terrazzo, and minimalistic chrome fixtures for that barefoot-luxury aesthetic. It works beautifully in kitchens with a relaxed, coastal feel but can also elevate modern spaces when paired with structured, clean-lined cabinetry. The colour encourages layering textures and subtle contrasts – think soft rugs, woven baskets, and natural stone – to create a serene, balanced environment.”
• British Racing Green: Deep, enveloping richness that adds timeless sophistication. Complements blonde wood, dark timbers, brass hardware, stone benchtops, and herringbone flooring for a classic yet refined aesthetic.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “British Racing Green is a colour with real presence – it instantly adds elegance and gravitas. I suggest pairing it with classic materials like blonde or dark oak herringbone flooring, burnished brass fittings, and natural stone benchtops. This is a colour that celebrates craftsmanship; surround it with textures that feel rich and tactile. I also love using it with practical yet elegant touches, like a large butler’s sink, which balances functionality with timeless style. It’s bold yet versatile, perfect for a kitchen that’s intended to last decades.”
• Midnight Blue: Rich and moody, creating a sense of depth and sophistication. Pairs well with smoky timbers, veined stone benchtops, and black hardware for a luxurious, Ivy League-inspired feel.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “Midnight Blue is perfect if you want a kitchen to feel grounded, rich, and sophisticated. I like to pair it with smoky timbers, veined stone, and soft-touch black hardware for an Ivy League-inspired aesthetic. The depth of the colour allows you to layer textures and finishes without overwhelming the space. It’s a tone that feels luxurious but timeless, perfect for homeowners who want a kitchen that feels both elegant and approachable.”
• Garnet Red: Bold and statement-making, bringing warmth and energy without dominating the space. Works beautifully with burnished brass, refined timbers, and layered textures for a social, inviting kitchen.
  
  Wendy Moore says: “Garnet Red is a colour that really brings energy and warmth into a space. I recommend pairing it with smoky timbers, burnished brass, and tactile materials for a balanced, layered look. It works best when used as a statement piece in a carefully curated scheme rather than competing with other high-contrast colours. This colour feels social and inviting, creating a kitchen that’s alive with personality and perfectly suited for entertaining. It’s a colour that can anchor a room while still allowing other elements to shine.”
