A kitchen renovation is a great way to incorporate new colors and styles into your kitchen. You may want to upgrade your cabinetry, paint your wall a new shade or try different appliances. One popular trend that has been impacting the kitchen industry is color blocking. Color blocking is usually associated with fashion, but many home remodelers are using this technique to liven up interiors. 

Today, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of West Collin County gives an overview of color blocking and provides tips on how to color-block your very own kitchen. 

What Is Color Blocking?

It’s taken a little longer for color blocking to make an impact on the world of interior design but these days, many design professionals and home decorators are using this technique to spice up a neutral scheme and help a space to stand out. Color blocking creates a variety of shapes to break up a space. For instance, a rectangle-shaped wall can be divided into squares of different colors. 

Often, color blocking mixes colors that don’t necessarily go together to make an impactful visual statement. However, you can also use complementary colors to showcase visually pleasing combinations. Walls are a major part of color blocking but remember not to limit yourself. When planning your new kitchen design, try incorporating color on your cabinets, backsplash and even appliances. 

How to Color-Block Your Kitchen

There are many ways to use the color blocking trend in your kitchen. Here are some fun ideas you want to consider:

1. Paint cabinet doors in different colors. If you’re in the mood to experiment with bold style in your kitchen, try painting your cabinet doors and drawer fronts in a clashing mix of colors. This project can be completed in very little time and for only the cost of a few buckets of paint. 
2. Bring color to your neutral kitchen with a bright wall. One way to liven up your all-white or neutral kitchen is to paint a feature wall in your favorite color. You may also want to choose the same color for your accents to help emphasize other standout features. If you can’t commit to one color, try painting geometric color-blocked shapes on one or all of your walls. 
3. Consider a colored backsplash or island. Make your kitchen space stand out by investing in a colored backsplash or island. You can use coordinating shades for uniformity or choose clashing colors for added visual interest and contrast. 
4. Add colored appliances. A kitchen remodel project is the best opportunity to upgrade your appliances with brand-new colored ones. Keep in mind that appliances are big investments, so be sure to choose a color that you love. You don’t want to pick out a color you may regret in the future. 
5. Choose a scheme from the same color family. If you’re looking for something subtler but still want to use color blocking, it’s best to choose shades from the same color family rather than colors that clash. For another layer of visual interest, try using contrasting textures, such as matte or tiled surfaces.
