Perfect Kitchen Color Schemes

November 30, 2017

One of the most important rooms in your home is the kitchen. It's where people gather to share a meal and be together. As you can anticipate many people enjoying this space, you'll want to make it comfortable for all.

Picking the perfect color scheme for your kitchen can seem challenging. There are many options available that it's overwhelming to think of what the best kitchen colors may be. Here are a few color palates based on current kitchen color trends to help create a space everyone can enjoy.

One concern you may have when choosing the perfect color palate for your kitchen is how it will match with your cabinetry, tile backsplash and appliances that are already in place. Typically, darker finishes and appliances will do well with warm, contemporary or bright colors. While kitchen colors with white cabinets do well with bolder and pastel colors, or even other shades of white, because they already do a great job of brightening up the room.

Surround yourself with warmth as you cook with colors that reflect how you feel. Use light reds, oranges and yellow hues. From everyday cooking to small gatherings the kitchen tends to be an active center of the home. Give yourself, your family and guests a relaxed feel with a cool kitchen color scheme. Use soft greens or blues on kitchen walls and compliment with a light gray for the trim.

By using yellow, you can either go bold and contemporary with sleek cabinet hardware and stainless steel appliances, or choose a lighter yellow for a vintage look. Of course, it does not take bold colors to make a beautiful kitchen. Find contrasting neutral colors that complement each other and use throughout the room. Various shades of brown can really warm a room.

Gray is also very trendy right now and easy to incorporate for a fresh look. It can look great with a variation of appliances and cabinetry. A light gray with a few pops of your favorite color as an accent can transform the look of your kitchen into one that you'll love for a long time.

Your kitchen is a place to let your creativity shine, not only in meals but in your kitchen decor as well. Get inspired to create great gatherings and meals with the perfect color scheme in your kitchen.
