Bring Color Into A Kitchen

There are many different ways to change the layout of your kitchen. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to bring new life to your kitchen design. Of course, one way is to bring color into your your kitchen cabinets. Since your cabinets are the frontal focus of the kitchen layout, it is a great way to bring color into your kitchen. What are some colors that you can consider? Well, it all depends on the type of decorative style you want. These can include a traditional décor, modern, rustic or something else. In this article, we’ll review some ways to bring color into a kitchen and what would go great with your cabinets.

A Light Décor Works

If you have a small kitchen, we recommend a light, bright layout. Although this style also works for large kitchens, smaller kitchens in particular will benefit more. When you use lighter tones in color, it creates an illusion of a larger space. A white color for your cabinets can make your kitchen pop a little more. The white color is also considered as a modern style that works for anyone wanting to change the traditional ambiance. White cabinets can complement your kitchen beautifully if you have warmer tones for your flooring and countertops.

Darker Themes for a Cozy, Warm Layout

Those wanting to create warmer tones throughout the house can think about stained wood or darker colors for the cabinets. This type of décor creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Make sure that you complement your walls as well. You don’t want to have everything one solid color or one solid theme. Ideally, if you’re going to have darker colors for your cabinets, you can paint the walls of your kitchen bright, such as white. By doing this, you’ll be creating a balanced theme for both light and dark colors.  

Using Different Colors

Thinking outside the box can liven up your kitchen décor. Although many homeowners choose to go for more traditional colors, such as white or gray, others have chosen to go for more creative and fun colors. Blue colors for your kitchen cabinets may be a little different. However, lighter tones work to create a fun ambiance in the kitchen. Light green can also complement your kitchen with a new, fun look. Install dark trim around the edges to accessorize your kitchen cabinets. Black handles or even gold handles as your hardware will enhance your lighter-toned cabinets to perfection. Rest assured that using bright colors will help brighten up a dark room, including your kitchen. If you are going to use an array of colors, make sure that you use colors that complement each other.

Consider Your Current Layout

When you’re painting your kitchen cabinets, you also have to consider the rest of the layout. Before deciding on a final color, scan your kitchen to get a sense of the current décor. Take an overview of your walls, the backsplash, counters, the floor and even your kitchen appliances. Stainless steel appliances, as an example, can work well in a modern layout. Choosing neutrals colors will revolve around a gray or beige theme. This is an ideal setup that will give you more freedom to incorporate different colors for your kitchen fixtures.

The Results of Bringing Color Into A Kitchen

The results will vary depending on what you choose to bring color into a kitchen. Nowadays, trending layouts for kitchen cabinets have been lighter tones, which will give your home a fresh look.
