Kitchen Color

The kitchen is a room you will tend to spend a lot of time in, especially if you are the main chef in your household. Make sure you are comfortable with your chosen kitchen cabinets color scheme as you will probably spend a significant amount of time surrounded by it. Bright, invigorating color schemes can boost energy levels when you have a lot of cooking and cleaning to get through.

As kitchen walls tend to be dominated by kitchen cabinets, benches and the floor, treat these elements as the starting point for your color scheme.

The appearance of colors in the kitchen will depend on the properties and textures of each of the surfaces. Glossy surfaces will reflect more light and look different to low sheen painted walls, so it is important to be careful when trying to match colors in different materials. Sometimes it is better to select a tone lighter or darker rather than trying to create an exact color match.  But, don't over do color matching.  You could create a monotone look with very little variety.  Varied shades of the same color and complimentary colors will help bring more interest to the setting.  Selecting painted kitchen cabinets may be just the thing to break up the monotony.
