Color Blocking: How to Incorporate It in Your Kitchen



Color blocking gives spaces just the right amount of boldness. Over the years, it has become a popular home interior trend, mainly due to the technique’s ability to give living spaces more life, dimension and impact. It’s something you should consider for your kitchen if you want it to stand out. 

Tips to Incorporate Color Blocking

Create a Color Scheme

Whether you go for a bold or subtle color scheme is entirely up to you. Experts suggest choosing six attractive hues for your color scheme. Make sure the colors are well-balanced. They also advise using neutrals to tone down brilliant hues. 

Go With an Odd Number of Colors

When using the color blocking technique for your kitchen remodel, it’s a good idea to work with odd numbers – usually two base colors and one neutral color such as black, white, beige or tan. You can make each block of color more distinguishable by using architectural breaks like cabinets or a bookcase. 

To create a more striking look, choose complementary colors such as blue, orange, yellow, red, green and purple. However, you don’t have to use bright colors. You can also opt for lighter shades to achieve that monochromatic color block look. If you don’t want your space to look too dramatic, use softer shades of different colors. 

Use a Variety of Materials

In larger kitchens, it can often be a challenge to break up a wall of cabinets. You can add some dimension and contrast to the room by mixing and matching materials. For instance, you can use white base cabinets and a wood finish for the upper cabinets. 

Choose Different Shades of the Same Color

If a kitchen with several different colors isn’t for you, you can always play with various shades of the same color. It’s a simple way to ensure harmony and balance among all elements of your kitchen. Aside from using different shades, you can also experiment with different finishes such as metallic, matte and glossy. 

Add Some Color to Your Island or Backsplash

Your island or backsplash could be that one element of your kitchen that makes people stop and stare. For a cohesive look, matching hues for both. They can also be in complementing colors for added visual appeal and contrast.
