Kitchens are looking lovelier and lovelier and kitchen colors play a big role in that. Not long ago kitchens were painted all white, all gray or all yellow as most used a primary color and nothing else. The trends have however changed tremendously with walls are being painted in a primary color, accents in another and the trim in an additional color. We’ll explore two fascinating color schemes one from the colonial period and one from the modern age. Trends are ever changing but some colors remain infinitely classic and as a homeowner this is what we aim for, well most of us.
Those that are nostalgic for the colonial days will appreciate these kitchen color ideas. Colonial colors are deservedly classic and will never go out of style. A beautiful color scheme could consist of light pink like tea rose pink for your kitchen wall. Light to medium gray for your accent and windsor pink for the trim. You can tweak these colors in your color palette but a color scheme like this is subtle, tranquil and exquisite. Modern appliances and modern kitchen furniture will look just fine in this color scheme. Do not think just because the colors are colonial that you must have old fashioned furniture. This is not true at all because even modern colors use a variation of colonial colors.
If you want to be overly picky that is entirely up to you but the beauty of color transcends time and will look good in modern kitchens just as it did in the colonial era kitchens. About the only thing you should be concerned about is the darkness or lightness of your wood cabinets. The paint colors for kitchens discussed here are taking into account a kitchen that is completely empty. If you have dark wood then you have to take that into consideration and make sure that the kitchen colors you want will go good with that particular kind of wood.
You can be so flexible with modern kitchen colors. What is acceptable in terms of styles is quite outrageous but that’s the way it should be. You should never feel like you have to be limited in the colors you choose. But do keep in mind that a harmonious color scheme will look much better than randomly picking colors simply because they are your favorite colors. A soft Alice blue for your wall color along with nickel gray, cambridge blue and sky blue is a beautiful kitchen color that will look splendid.
Hopefully these kitchen color ideas will get your creative juices flowing and also help you find the kitchen design that you want. Just remember to take your time mixing and matching colors. If you are uncertain about one specific color then don’t use it because every color that you pick should make you feel comfortable. Painting a kitchen can be incredibly rewarding and it will also be fun if you pick the kitchen colors you are most happy with.
