Colors for The Modern Kitchen
Colors are an important aspect to any home remodeling project, but especially the kitchen since this is a place not only where you tend to spend a lot of time, but your guests also spend a lot of time. Have you ever had a dinner party in the dining room? Have you ever had a party? People tend to congregate more towards one part of the house than the other, or rather one room; the kitchen. It’s sort of a known fact! Because of this, it’s important that your kitchen not only speaks to your guests as a warm and friendly part of the house to be in, but it’s also important that its comfortable to be in i.e.; the colors are picked and situated in a way that makes your guests feel like your home and your kitchen is warm and inviting. If you want a great way to pick the best and trendiest colors of this season or the next, consider reading the blog below for the trendiest colors for kitchens.
Black
Black is probably not one of the first colors that you think of when it comes to your kitchen. But, black is known as being a luxurious color - in fact, you can paint just about anything black and accent the kitchen with whites and grays with a few pops of colors like reds and you would be amazed at how classy the room begins to look. Black is a great fit for a kitchen that is either modern or contemporary, but really it fits in any style. If you have a modern or contemporary kitchen and you are adding black to the cabinets for example, consider also using well defined lines, and lacquered or glossy surfaces such as lacquered wood counters in deep brown colors, or black cabinets with white shelves and grey flooring. You can add in a few accents by creating a red accent wall, red gadgets like a mixer, bowls, etc. or red art objects like a red picture frame or red framed mirror for extra color. Red and black are considered to be prominent and dashing colors to pair together.
White
White seems like such a plain and boring color for the walls in your kitchen, but white can also create a blank canvas so to speak. Because of this, you can essentially place any color in the room that you really like and it will look good against the white walls. Another object that is considered trendy in the kitchen in terms of the color white are white cabinets. White gives off a very clean, pure and crisp vibe that can make any kitchen look and feel more organized. Something as simple as a white wall with white cabinets, and a well thought out pairing for the backsplash can change the look of a kitchen altogether; add in some accents like a copper pan holder above your kitchen island, marble swirled copper and black countertops and copper hardware for your cabinets and drawers and you have a really fantastic kitchen underway.
Green / Brown
This is a really great color for people that have homes that are surrounded by a lot of greenery outdoors. Even something as simple as grass and a few trees can help bring the outdoors inside and by using green or brown in your kitchen you can bring a sense of calm and tranquility from the outdoors and bring it indoors. Instead of painting your entire kitchen green or brown, consider adding an accent wall as a focal point for the kitchen. For example, if you have a fireplace in the kitchen, a specific type if architecture that you want to show off, or a certain feature, try painting that wall either green or brown as the focal point - the first place that people’s eyes will go when they enter the room. Another option to consider are white walls and green or brown cabinets - and I am not talking about brown wood cabinets either, I mean literal painted brown cabinets. The great thing about the color green or brown is that there are so many different tones and hues to choose from. If you like greens consider something subdued like sage, if you want something funky, go for lime or neon, and if you want something classical choose moss.
