Bonjour and welcome to our Art of the Home gallery of color ideas for kitchens. We hand picked them just for you…hope you enjoy the visit!
The kitchen is one of the most favored rooms in a home and picking that mix of hues that resonates with you will go a long way to setting the mood. Whether it is a place for family to congregate at dinner or for toasts with friends while cooking up a storm, colors play a vital role in creating a temperature for this special space. For families with young ones who start their day in the kitchen, refreshing hues can get everyone energized and ready for a bright day. And for millennials, why not spice up your mornings while sipping that cup of Joe with bright mixes of colors that complement a more contemporary décor? Or to get a more intimate vibe, neutrals and warm shades can provide the canvas for peace and joy right in your kitchen!
You’ll see from the photos below, there are many color options to choose from and each can bring a different feel to your kitchen. A lighter color palette can open up your kitchen and make it look larger. On the opposite side of the spectrum, dark tones which absorb more light can give large kitchens a more intimate vibe. And you have the warm tones (yellows, oranges, terracotta shades) which can be so inviting. Imagine sipping coffee surrounded by warm terracotta and amber hues — these colors not only relax the eye and absorb light, it also ties that Mediterranean ribbon around your kitchen! Last but not least, you can play with finishes to your cabinetry (i.e. glazing, rubbed hand painted, milk paint) to add some personality to your kitchen as well.
So are you ready to visit these colorful kitchens? We hope you will find some good ideas looking at the selection of nine color ideas for kitchens we chose just for you. If it helps you spark just one idea or warms your heart, that will make our day. And if you’re happy, we are happy! Enjoy the visit and beautiful day to you
