Using Color Blocking in Your Kitchen Design

Color blocking is a trending technique in interior design. It can easily create an eye-popping and edgy look for a space when done right. This trend has reached kitchens so today, we will guide you through the best ways to use color blocking in your kitchen remodel project.

Color Blocking Techniques

Mixing Materials

Make the most of your space by incorporating some contrast. For example, you can use veneers for your upper cabinets while your countertops have a solid stone surface. The sizes do not have to be balanced but ensure that they match well.

White Bases With Dark Uppers

Choose neutrals for a sleek aesthetic. Take note that the dark upper cabinets do not have to be black. You can’t go wrong by adding gold, silver or even bronze finishes for fixtures. These can be ideal for appliance handles too.

Dark Bases Paired With Vibrant Uppers

Create a sophisticated appearance by opting for a dark base cabinet color and then introducing block brights to cut through the moody scheme. Consider having your upper cabinets painted yellow, green or orange.

A Color-Blocked Accent Wall

If you do not like black, you can choose an all-white or neutral kitchen and paint a geometric color-blocked motif on your walls. Choosing the same color for your accents will help tie the scheme together.

Colorful Art Pieces

Adding paintings and other statement pieces inside your kitchen can also be a great way to use color blocking. Try using the palette of the artwork for stools, tables and other furnishings.
