Your colour design: tips for deciding on kitchen colours
Our team of Kitchen Painters Colour Experts are dedicated to helping you select the perfect colour scheme for your kitchen. The future of kitchen design in 2024 will embrace a peaceful and restful aesthetic. After enduring a period of instability, we all want to benefit from a calming oasis to get away from the stresses of life. Talking about colours in general, the trend of all-white kitchens has decreased in popularity. Rich and warm tones are now taking over, such as browns, smoky blues and greens. A popular style choice incorporates a combination of light and dark woods with vibrant tones. But prior to browsing colour options, we suggest taking a look at our tips below.
Existing Surfaces
Are these surfaces dark, light, or mid-tone?
Are they cool or warm?
Size of the Kitchen and Lighting
For a small kitchen that lacks space and natural light, consider using cabinets in a lighter tone to create a more open and airy ambiance.
Two-Toned Kitchen
Opting for a two-toned style is a fantastic way to infuse your kitchen cabinets with depth and appeal, all while maintaining a balanced color palette.
When it comes to bigger kitchens, your options are wide open.
But again, should you find yourself unsure of which colours to choose, rest assured that we will be there to assist.
Small Kitchen Colours
For a small kitchen it’s ideal to go with one colour on your cabinets to create a sense of spaciousness.
If you want your kitchen to appear larger, consider using light pastel colors as they have a greater ability to reflect light compared to darker shades.
Consider painting the kitchen cabinets to match the colour of the walls.
