Color-blocked kitchens have become a popular trend. Color blocking is a great way to liven up your kitchen visually. This technique involves pairing two or more bold colors together, perfect for a look that makes a statement but isn’t over-the-top. Don’t know where to start? DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Huntsville is here to share some effective ways to incorporate color blocking into your kitchen design.
Color-Blocking Techniques
Dark Base Colors
To get an ultramodern look that’s fun but also edgy, start with a dark base cabinet color and then add brightly colored uppers to cut through the dark scheme. The stark contrast between dark and bright colors makes the color-blocking effect even more powerful. This results in a kitchen that has both drama and classic appeal.
Bright Accent Colors
A feature wall painted in the color of your choice will spice up an all-white or neutral kitchen. If you use the same color for your accents, it will help to tie the whole look together and show off other things that deserve attention. If you’re not sure which colors will work well together or want a more subtle color scheme, layer your space with tones from the same color family instead of colors that don’t match. To add more visual interest, use different textures, like matte, shiny, metallic and tiled surfaces.
Mixing Wood Materials
For your kitchen remodel, you could try matching and mixing wood if you do not like bright colors and want a natural look. Cabinetry can be made from a variety of different colored woods. Orient the panels so that the grain runs in the same direction on all sides to avoid a cluttered appearance with your wood-on-wood look. For a more spacious appearance in a small kitchen, consider using panels with a horizontal wood grain, which creates the illusion of more space.
Colored Appliances
If you need to replace your appliances, think about upgrading to colored versions. Appliances are high-ticket items, so pick a color that you won’t get tired of quickly. Consider whether you want to play it safe by decorating the rest of your space in classic white or neutral tones, or whether you want to go all-out by introducing contrasting colors that will complement your new appliances and make them stand out.
