Choosing the right colors to paint your kitchen should probably not be such a great task, especially if you have a small one. In fact, must of us think that in order to avoid unnessesary headaches in that respect, white is the obvious color to choose for achieving space and cleanliness. Here are some ideas for painting a small kitchen without making it too boring or over-desiged.
Use a neutral color base, such as white, cream or champagne for the walls and ceiling and use a touch of color for the cabinets and cupboards. This automatically gives some life to an otherwise simple white kitchen with no personality. For the cabinets and cupboard paint you can use your imagination or your favourite color range, but make sure to choose only one, bright color. Take also on consideration that you must use the right type of paint for different surfaces.
A neutral-colored kitchen with a touch of color in the backsplash or the fridge area can be a smart option for those who like to use color in a more conservative way. Neutral colors such as light yellow, cream or even light gray look very nice with touches of more vivid colors for small areas. There is an advantage for painting the backsplash with a bright color: you will avoid awful grease spots on your wall or at least you can hide them better. Make sure to choose a palette that best relfect your personality or state of mood when you cook.
A two-colored binomio, painted in equal proportion may give any small kitchen a great personality. Choose a neutral and a bright color to achieve this look. This idea is only for outgoing, looking-forward personalities, as conservative minds may find it too overwhealming for the eye. Just make sure your kitchen appliances dont compete with the color harmony. This can be achieved with iron steel adjuncts and minimalistic range hoods designed by specialists such as Elica.
Dark colors, far from being forbiden from small spaces, can be a great and elegant choice for your kitchen. A dark blue or shade grey, or even black may result in a kitchen with a big personality. Cleaning the kitchen when using these colors is a true bliss, as many stains and imperfections are hidden. In order to choose this color range you have to make sure your kitchen is well illuminated with several lighting sources at the ceiling and even in the cabinets and cupboards. In order to achieve the complete look, chose wisely the kitchen appliances and the few furniture you may have.
Don’t be afraid to use some color in your kitchen. A smart palette choice may bring to life such an important space in everyone’s home. Small kitchens require airness and eye expansion, and this can be achieved through color, right appliances, creative decoration and lighting. So now you have great ideas to think over your new kitchen project, but if you still think this is too overwhealming, just think in the basic color rule: soft base colors to reflect light and a touch of fun to make it intersting.
