Interior Decorating Colors

Kitchen color paint ideas can transform one of the most expensive remodels in your house on a budget. Black is both neutral and daring at the same time. If you don’t want your room to feel too closed in then try painting the lower cupboards or kitchen island black. Traditional color palettes are traditionally black and white so this is a unique twist that can still go in different design directions in the future. Add stainless steel appliances and oversized door pulls for a modern look. Pine floors and elaborate molding on the island will create a homey, but elegant, country kitchen. Update those old kitchen chairs and dining tables with black paint for an interesting, updated set in your kitchen nook.

Kitchen cabinet colors can work with neutral or natural tones. Wood cabinet colors may seem to become dated a lot faster than white cabinets. However you’ll be on the cutting edge while it lasts. Oak cabinets have a country feeling and were popular in the 90’s. They are still used in apartments and then torn out by home buyers. Pine cupboards show less wood grain and create a lodge feel. Use cherry cabinets in a traditional or Arts and Crafts kitchen to show off the beauty of the wood. Try gray or slate countertops instead of traditional black counters to accent the wood. Gray will also blend in with stainless appliances and is neutral and interesting at the same time.

Add some personality with kitchen color schemes. The backsplash is a way to bring color into your room on a smaller scale. This means you won’t have to replace expensive countertops or cabinets. Modern and contemporary design calls for aqua or pale green mosaic glass tiles that will give a black and white kitchen a fresh look.

Sometimes using paint colors for kitchens is easy: just go with your favorite. If you’ve loved one color for a long time makes it your own, even if it breaks the rules about using loud colors on expensive items. Try turquoise cabinets for that ‘90s Friends coffee shop feel that will brighten up the space. Accent with oversized coffee cups and colorful pendant lights to wake you up in the morning.
