Although it’s simple to play it safe with neutrals, more and more homeowners are committed to using color throughout their houses. The classic white kitchen isn’t going anywhere, but make no mistake – colorful kitchen cabinets are fresh and make a statement.
Here are some inspiring ideas from top kitchen remodeler DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of The Woodland that show color has a place in the heart of your home. This might be in the form of colorful lower cabinets, or an accent backsplash, or a bright wallpaper.
Cabinets, Countertops, and Sinks
To refresh a contemporary white kitchen, add colorful upper cabinet doors or a colored countertop. A colorful island offers a lively focal point to a white backdrop without dominating the room. Or, choose a dark island to contrast your white kitchen. Sinks come in numerous materials and colors, but a modern trend is to have a vivid color on the inside.
Backsplash
Instead of just doing a small section, you can take your tile backslash to the next level by doing it from the counter to the ceiling. Combined with wood, this can make a kitchen that is right out of the dreams of anyone who likes the mid-century modern design. Any color will do, but sage green is relaxing, helps you feel better, and doesn’t feel too much when it’s on your walls.
Appliances
If you’re planning a full kitchen remodeling, consider using colored appliances, which have gained popularity in recent years for many types of kitchen designs. There are retro pastels, heritage tones, primary hues, and metallics. If a fridge is too big, try a colored toaster.
Walls
Feature walls add color and draw together accessories in the kitchen or surrounding rooms. A basic wallpaper pattern is attractive and won’t detract from artwork or accessories. Wallpaper, and its cousin stick-on tile, are also great ways to sidestep the budget and time commitment that tile and other textured surfaces present. A kitchen contractor suggests using a faint blue, gray, or warmer color on your ceiling to attract the eye upward.
Display Items
Putting things on open shelves is an easy way to change the look of your kitchen. The same thing can be done with glass-fronted kitchen cabinets, which look more appealing with brightly colored walls inside and lights to illuminate the shelves.
Fabric
One great method to add color to a kitchen design is with the use of fabric. You can reupholster dining chairs, cover bar stools, and add cushions to banquette seating. Pick rugs to warm up any floor and provide character, and choose blinds or drapes in your accent colors. While introducing a pattern is intriguing, keep it from becoming too busy or it will detract rather than add.
