If you love playing with colors and want to add pops of them in your kitchen, there’s a design trend that will be right up your alley: color blocking. This started out as a fashion trend but has since trickled through interior design. Color blocking involves taking colors from opposites of the color wheel and pairing them to create unique and visually arresting combinations. But where do you start? A premier kitchen renovation company in the area, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes, has some easy tips.
- Keep it subtle. There’s nothing wrong with starting small. To create a bold statement in your kitchen without bordering on gaudy, sprinkle in colorful kitchenware, appliances and furniture. These items can easily be swapped out if you decide color blocking isn’t for you.
- Choose a colored island and backsplash. The island and backsplash are two of the most noticeable elements in your kitchen. Dress them up with a similar color to create a cohesive look, or go the other direction and use clashing colors to create something more layered and unique. If you have trouble making your color choices work, just turn to DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes. Our skilled designers will be happy to help you integrate them into your kitchen design.
- Commit to one color. While the rule of thumb in color blocking is to use different colors, some homeowners are content to stick to just one color – and this actually works very well! Choose one color and use various shades of it throughout your kitchen. This creates a lively vibe but also instills a sense of harmony in the space.
- Paint a feature wall with a vibrant color. One simple and effective way to color-block your kitchen is to concentrate on one aspect of the space. A feature wall is generally the perfect choice. Paint it a bright tone to add visual interest in a kitchen with an all-white or neutral palette, then use that same color for the accents to tie the whole room together.
