A Basic Guide to Color-Blocking Your Kitchen



Color-blocking is a fashion trend that has gradually permeated interior design. In the past few years, design professionals and home decorators have used this concept in interior spaces, including kitchen renovation projects. To give you an idea of how you can incorporate color-blocking into your kitchen space, below are some basic tips to guide you in making color choices.

Color-Blocking Techniques

Pair a Colorful Base With White Uppers

This is a classic combination that never fails to create fantastic results. By painting the upper cabinets and walls white and opting for a pop of color on your base cabinets, you can create a balanced design. This color-blocking approach is a good way to emphasize the base color and use it as the focal point of your kitchen.

Pair a White Base With Dark Uppers

Another classic way to color-block your kitchen design, this combo offers an opportunity to use a neutral color palette while keeping the overall design visually interesting. White base cabinets and dark uppers can be a great choice for modern and traditional kitchens.

Mix Materials

If you have a large kitchen, you can opt to use different materials to create some contrast and play with various textures, such as white base cabinets paired with light wood upper cabinets. The wood adds warmth to the space, which would otherwise look like a minimalist, modern kitchen. Mixing materials is often recommended for larger kitchens because it encourages the eye to move around and really take in the entire space.

Create a Bright Accent Wall

If you want to avoid an overly neutral or all-white kitchen, have a feature wall and paint it with a bright accent color. Ensure that the same color is used for all your accents so that your kitchen’s design will look cohesive.
