With fashion making its mark on the home remodeling industry, kitchen design experts have begun to use color-blocking techniques in kitchen remodeling projects. Color blocking uses different geometric shapes, such as squares and rectangles, combined with attention-grabbing color combinations to spruce up a kitchen space. In today’s blog, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington shares how you can properly incorporate color blocking into your kitchen.
Ways to Use Color Blocking
Start Small
If you want a design that makes a statement without being too loud, or you want to test the waters before committing to this trend, then you can take a careful approach when it comes to color blocking. Start small and pepper your kitchen with brightly colored furniture, countertop appliances and kitchenware. These pieces are more affordable to replace if you change your mind.
Use a Striking Base Color
If you want an ultramodern look that allows for extra versatility, choose a dark base cabinet and bright uppers to lighten the moody scheme. Your kitchen remodel expert will tell you that this kind of color blocking technique offers a stark contrast between dark and bright colors and amplifies the color-blocking effect. This will definitely make the cabinets one of the kitchen’s focal points.
Use Bright Tones on Your Walls
One of the simplest ways to color block a neutral-colored kitchen is to paint a feature wall with your favorite color. Using the same color in your accents and fixtures will tie together the entire color scheme while highlighting other parts of your kitchen that deserve to get the spotlight.
Combine Different Materials
This is a great decision, especially for homeowners with big kitchens. Use different cabinet materials to keep your eyes moving around your kitchen, allowing you to appreciate every detail. For example, you can use white oak veneers for upper storage cabinets, flat-front white for the cabinetry and island, and maple wood for the lower cabinets. Don’t shy away from hints of wood to give warmth to your kitchen.
