“Daring kitchen colour schemes to get inspired from”
Colour is a spellbinding tool that completely alters a kitchen’s mood. It changes perception of the space; giving it a wider and brighter feel being attractive all the way through. And of course, kitchen décor complements to one’s personality be it dark, light or neutral.
Looking back into the past, approach with kitchen colour schemes has been unyielding for instance, that avocado green and burnt orange from the 70s. Newer palettes are however more restrained with that dark and grey, pale blues and inky shades but that doesn’t mean you should miss the fun with kitchen colour. Another important factor is the tone even with the grey family such as warmer greys gives a feel of dark blue shades at times.
Accented colours are as popular as ever with yellow that stands apart from the rest especially against darker greys. A great approach is going for a base colour before using an inflection shade to highlight particular areas or simply adding a rich, vibrant splash.
When choosing a mixed palette or accent colour, you can always do it right if following the colour theory. Complementary or contrasting shades are opposite to each other on the colour wheel and rather create a wonderful contrast and vibrant feel with a kitchen decor. Still, shades that are close to each other on the wheel give sort of a more relaxed vibe.
As we speak, don’t just delve on the wall or unit colours but consider design and style of the kitchen floor as well. Read on for more details!
1. Make a splash
Vivid backsplashes would surely satisfy the colour cravings and it’s rather a smart approach especially if you’re overwhelmed by many different shades. And if you prefer tweaking the scheme in future, it’s relatively simple and less painful. Red and pink contrast complements amazingly with a blue backsplash but again, you’re always free to modify per your likes. After all, the choice of kitchen décor is yours to make so better do it right!
2. Teaming grey & yellow
Decorative wallpaper hanging in your kitchen’s corner creates a bold contrast with sleeker and modern units. The overhanging lighting in the dining area highlights space and smartly picks shades of the wallpaper. This particular scheme is all about contrasts from yellow and grey to industrial and feminist so on.
3. Handle-less units
Impressive flotilla units boasting a handle-less design are always super-sleek on looks and feel. Don’t ignore the floor tiles and white island for they give a rather “pop” touch to the colour, creating maximum possible impact. Floor-to-ceiling units are most important here which means wall colour must remain intact thus giving a cleaner look, vital to this kitchen decor scheme.
4. The bright orange
Vibrant colour pops on the island and backsplash give the kitchen a true wow factor. In this particular scenario, island has been designed with extreme care and creativity so that not to be overly imposing. The colour is hidden on a panel below the counter instead of being all over the unit. That typical cutting-edge factor is achieved through sculptural design of the stainless-steel extractor fan.
5. The exposed walls
Choose a colour scheme that complements to your style, be it of any colour. These kitchens tend to be neutral with lots of interesting elements. Exposed brickwork is the rage in kitchen décor and style nowadays that adds warmth with natural, earthly tones. You can hang monochrome picture frames in a row for more attraction!
6. Go with pale blue
The simpler looks with pale-blue units are always appealing to the eye. Grey worktops are durable and offers practicality while complements perfectly with the mint-blue background. The combination of white tiles, wall paint and stainless-steel appliances has all it takes to stall in the limelight, giving the colour scheme an element of beauty!
