Has it been years since your kitchen has been installed? If so, you might be surprised to learn what has changed in color trends for kitchens since yours was built. Bold color and design choices can give your kitchen an update without costing a ton of money. You might be surprised how much color can change the entire look of your old kitchen. L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc is here to talk about current color trends for kitchens of all shapes and sizes.
Modernize a Traditional Kitchen
Classic kitchens have been using black and white for years. More and more classic styled kitchens are finding the advantages of adding pops of color mixed in with the traditional black and white. Color can be showcased on an accent wall, window treatments, artwork, and even your appliances. If you have a black and white kitchen, painting an accent wall a soft grey can soften the room and give it dimension.
Are Earth Tones Out of Style?
One of the best ways to bring an organic feel into your kitchen, is with earth tones. If you have cabinets that are a natural wood finish, colors like green and varying shades of brown can give your kitchen a warm, earthy feel. Even colors like muted blues and yellows can add a certain amount of coziness to any space, including the kitchen.
Urban Kitchen Design
Many urban kitchens get stuck in a black and white trap. Many are starting to see the advantages of making bold color choices in their kitchen. Colors that will accent stainless steel appliances and even dark colored cabinets. Bold choices like copper and gold tones can really make an urban space beautiful as well as mixing up black with dark grays and navy blues. If you want an urban feel in your kitchen look for streamlined and high gloss finishes.
Can You Mix Cabinet Colors in Kitchen?
A new trend that has taken like wildfire, is the mixing and matching of color in kitchens. This can be done by choosing a paint color for the bottom cabinets and a completely different, complimentary color for the upper cabinets. You can also choose a bold color for your island to add a pop of color to the space. This will be easy to change if you feel like going in a different direction down the road.
What Color Should a Kitchen Ceiling Be?
The ceiling is often overlooked, but can make a big statement in your kitchen. If you have very high ceilings that you would like to feel warmer and more inviting, you can paint your ceiling and walls a slightly darker shade for that affect. If you have a small kitchen that you would like to feel larger, think about painting the ceiling one shade lighter than the walls and you would be surprised what a difference it can make.
Is Painting Kitchen Cabinets a Good Idea?
If you have an older kitchen and want to give your space a completely different feel without the cost of replacing everything, think about painting your old cabinets. This can bring a breath of fresh air into your kitchen at a fraction of the cost it would be to replace your cabinets.
