Kitchen Color Schemes

Deciding on a color scheme for a room can be quite stressful. With a multitude of colors available, selecting the perfect shade can sometimes seem impossible. However, once the color is applied, the room comes to life with character and feel. To help you design your kitchen, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

Use the Color Wheel as a Guide

To create the right mood, use the color wheel. For a bold look, try complementary shades (colors opposite of each other on color wheel). A yellow and blue kitchen is exciting and welcoming. In general, yellow is a great color for energy. For a more sophisticated kitchen, try using a monochromatic scheme which incorporates multiple shades of the same color. Different shades of ivory can create a clean, classy look.

Make It Simple

Go with a color you like. Don’t try to force yourself into choosing a color which is not comfortable for you. If you are having trouble determining your favorite colors, look around your house. What colors are most of the clothes in your closet? This could help you better understand your taste.

Temperature

The color of the room can affect the temperature. Cool colors such as blue and green will allow to the space to feel colder. They also have a calming effect. On the other hand, red and orange will add warmth and energy. Therefore, a kitchen that is painted blue is going to elicit a different feel than one that is red.
