Pink is a color that many people shy away from. It’s feminine, vibrant, and without the right touch can offset the pleasant design of your kitchen. Whenever dealing with a “special color” such a pink it will always require a delicate touch. Just imagine yellow cabinets with shocking pink kitchen curtains, not a welcome image, right. On the other hand a very light pink with white accents could possibly look okay. A hot pink valance in an all black kitchen can look remarkably trendy and very impressive. The same deep pink with stainless steel appliances might however ruin the look of a white kitchen. Where’s the line in this? How can we determine what tone and shade of pink is appropriate for the type of kitchen we have?
The color of your kitchen walls and cabinets are the biggest clue to what kind of pink tone you can use. Modern kitchens that are decked out with stainless steel appliances and black cabinetry will look great with a simple pink valance. It could be a medium shade or even very hot. You can never really lose with a medium pink, think Barbie, that is a classic pink color. It will look great in the latest kitchens as well as those with rustic country themes. Pink kitchen curtains that have a little green blended in are also nice, a subtle green of course with the main complementary color being white.
There are some designs such as a pink gingham curtain that will look great in just about any kitchen, within reason of course. It’s great to have the curtains attract attention but you don’t want them to attract too much attention. An obvious fashion statement is one thing, but when a person continuously stares at your kitchen window because it looks awkward that is not good at all. More is definitely less if you intend on using Fuschia or deep pink. If you have the luxury of having a fabric with the desired shade of pink in your home use it as a metric and place it against the window. See how it looks in the setting, if it looks okay, then you’ll know that you choose the right tone for your kitchen curtain.
