When beginning a renovation, especially one in the kitchen, your color palette may be the most important selection of all. Think about it because color plays a vital role in the home. From the cabinetry and walls to furniture and appliances, the options and shades are endless. Fortunately there are a few tricks we like to use to help customers pick their perfect palette.
Forget the Trends
With a renovation, think long term when it comes to color. Neutral colors are the best option as they can work with different color schemes. You want to select colors that compliment one another. Add a pop of color with smaller appliances like the mixer or toaster. Remember, when you select darker hues you create the feeling of a smaller space. Choose soft and light colors to create a more spacious kitchen
Add Excitement to a White Kitchen
If you’re a fan of white kitchens, forget about flat whites as they add little excitement. Introduce shades of cream or even light gray to elevate your color scheme. Think about a gloss finish. Consider adding in glass tiles, veined marble, bamboo shades or linen fabrics to lift an all-white palette from boring to beautiful. You can even add darker shades or gray and black that will fit perfectly your white kitchen.
Contrast
Are you in love with your cabinetry? Then paint your walls a contrasting color. This will make your wall cabinets and island pop. Pull it together with accessories and art. However, if you’re not a fan of your cabinetry, select a similar wall color to blend the two elements.
