Every room in your home is an opportunity to reflect your personal, unique style! The kitchen is a highly used household necessity where amazing meals are prepared, but even more importantly memories are made with loved ones. Establishing home cohesion starts right here, in the kitchen! Step one is selecting a color scheme that fits your style preferences and can also withstand the test of time. In this article we are sharing tips on how to choose your perfect color scheme by expanding on the top three kitchen color schemes for modern homes!
Dark and Light
The key to any high quality color scheme is simple: establishing contrast. You want to avoid making a room too dark because it can appear smaller and also avoid making it too bright because that can make a room feel monotonous or lacking in personality. These opposites need each other to enhance versatility and lock in a sophisticated, classic look. Where to start? You can bring together dark cabinets with light countertops or dark countertops with white appliances. Please note, the dark and light color scheme is not limited to black and white only; popular examples of this color scheme include black and white, beige with navy blue, and dark gray with mint green. This is your opportunity to pick a solid dark color with a fun lighter accent color!
Neutral and Bold
Your kitchen needs to feel comfortable to you. A nice neutral color creates a strong foundation for functionality and a laid-back feel you can enjoy for many years to come. Select your ideal neutral kitchen color and enhance the aesthetic with a playful bold accent color. Many modern kitchens are seen using this color scheme with gray and purple, black and pink, or brown and turquoise. When using this color scheme your neutral will be the kitchen walls and cabinets, while the bolder colors can be your countertops and appliances. You can always swap out your bold color down the road, because your neutral kitchen color is able to match with a wide range of alternative choices.
Neutral colors are timeless – white or tan on the walls blends in and doesn’t distract from other colors in the kitchen
The Beauty in Undertones
When deciding on a color scheme, undertones, kitchen size, and the natural lighting of your kitchen should always be kept in mind. If your kitchen has a natural dark undertone or lower lighting due to location, it is best to avoid dark colors and choose lighter tones. You can also brighten up a dark room with warm tones such as gold, orange, or yellow. If your kitchen has many windows with naturally an abundance of light, cool colors such as blue, green, or purple can nicely compliment that. If your kitchen is larger, darker cabinets are a safe choice with light accent colors to give the room a cozy feel. If your kitchen is smaller in size, we suggest the opposite – lighter cabinets with darker appliances to achieve ideal contrast and help the room appear larger. Please note, above all else, allow your personal preference to be your guide!
