While simple, monochromatic kitchens are undeniably elegant. These spaces utilize a single color in varying hues and incorporate textures for dimension. There is a common misconception that they are bland. It’s the reason many are skeptical about using this style in their kitchen renovation projects. However, a well-designed monochromatic kitchen looks sleek, clean and aesthetically pleasing.
Here are reasons you’ll love a monochromatic kitchen and tips to achieve its look.
Why Homeowners Love Monochromatic Kitchens
You will love a monochromatic kitchen if you are into minimalist and sophisticated spaces. It’s effortlessly cohesive and harmonious. Also, it will save you time and effort in choosing and matching different colors for your space.
Monochromatic kitchens are often believed to be plain and dull due to their single-color aspect. However, spaces with many colors can look outdated in just a few years. It isn’t something you’ll worry about if you go monochromatic in your next kitchen remodel.
Tips to Achieve Their Look
Play With Textures
There are many ways you can keep a monochromatic kitchen from looking monotonous. For instance, you use different textures for walls, cabinets and floors. This also applies to your decor and lighting. You can even use a patterned rug to add more visual interest to the room.
Go With Contrasting Walls and Floors
Does your kitchen have light-colored walls? If so, go with dark flooring. Doing so will create an enhanced separation between these two elements. This trick will prevent your space from appearing too plain.
Add Contrast Through Accents
You don’t necessarily need to use similar hues in all areas of your kitchen. Adding contrasting accents here and there will prevent the room from looking washed out. You can choose colors that contrast slightly with your main color for your countertops, molding and backsplash.
