Some of your best memories are made in the kitchen. Moments shared baking for the holidays, cooking Friday dinners, savoring a glass (or two) of wine after a long day… it’s often the most loved part of the home. So why does the kitchen remain ignored while you are busy updating other rooms in your house? We know it’s always a good idea to repaint the kitchen, and we’ve included some tips to get you feeling inspired for a kitchen update below.
#1: Go Traditional
Some of the most common colors for a kitchen are yellows, warm blues, and reds. Of course, beige, white, and browns are also popular neutral colors for the kitchen. If you feel like playing it safe, choose a traditional kitchen color and you won’t be disappointed. Choose some fun accent pieces, like bright kitchen accessories or a colorful painting, to add your own flair.
#2: …Or Go Bold (Within Reason)
You could stick to traditional paint colors, or you could go bold. Ready for a challenge? The kitchen is a space where you can really have some fun — just don’t branch out too far from the rest of your home. Make sure the color you choose goes well with the overall vibe. Rustic, chic, cozy, or comfortable, identify your “look” and pick a color that fits within that palette for the best results.
#3: Pick Your Inspiration
If you’re having trouble deciding on a color that best represents your personality, we’ve got an idea. Why not pick something based on your favorite foods? It is the kitchen, after all. Do you love cooking Italian? Think ripe tomatoes and try a warm red palette. Are summery pies and custards more your thing? Warm, inviting oranges and browns look excellent in the kitchen, too. And when your guests ask what inspired your choice, you just may find it’s a good conversation-starter.
#4: Choose an Accent
Maybe you aren’t ready to pick a color for all of your kitchen walls. Have you considered painting just some of the shelves, the cabinets, or a single accent wall? Picking a small area to update can help make the room feel new without really changing it too much. And once you see how much you love the new paint, you may be inspired to take the changes a bit further.
#5: Have Fun
Above all, you should have some fun while you are choosing the new look for your kitchen. It’s a place for laughter, cooking, and time spent together, after all. Choose a color you think represents you and those you love most, and see what happens!
