Much has been said about how colors can influence the mood of a room. The kitchen, in particular, needs to be a warm and cheerful space — it is, after all, the heart of the home. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel or repaint, read on as DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Amarillo shares the colors that can add cheer to your kitchen.
- Earth tones. Earth tones such as browns, greens and certain shades of red evoke feelings of comfort and coziness, ideal for gathering spaces. These colors work beautifully with natural materials like wood and stone. Combined with subdued ambient lighting, you can achieve an almost coffeehouse feel that many homeowners find conducive to making culinary creations.
- Sage and sky blue. The subdued tones of sage green and sky blue evoke vast, open skies and lush landscapes. They bring a calming, nature-inspired feel to the kitchen while providing a neutral backdrop that works in both modern and traditional designs. A good kitchen renovation contractor should be able to help you tweak custom mixes if the factory colors look unsuitable.
- Soft yellow and peach. For a brighter-looking kitchen, soft shades of yellow can add a sunkissed glow that evokes a cheerful and friendly atmosphere often found in traditional kitchen designs. A pale, buttery yellow can make a small kitchen feel more spacious and welcoming without overwhelming the senses. Similarly, peach and coral add a soft and playful touch that inspires creativity and joy, perfect for a room where culinary adventures begin.
- Neutral with pops of color. Vibrant colors can add energy to any space, but it’s easy to go overboard and make it visually overpowering. A neutral color palette provides a blank canvas that allows pops of color — decor, furniture or backsplash tiles, to name a few — to stand out, creating visual interest.
- Shades of green. Green is thought of as the color that encourages creativity, and creation does happen in kitchens daily. They also evoke a natural look, which, like the earth tones described above, make the space more connected to nature.
