Kitchen Color Schemes
If you are contemplating doing a kitchen improvement, you undoubtedly want to do it once and have it last a while. For this reason, you must ensure that your colour scheme will also last the life of the kitchen. Here are some great kitchen colour schemes to steer you in the right direction.
1. Black, white and grey
There is much that can be said about the timeless look of black, white and grey tones. Clever use and separation of black and white block colours with grey tones create a long-lasting look that remains sophisticated. Interior spaces, especially kitchens that feature black and white are impossible to ignore. They are versatile, bold and they stand out. Most importantly, they enable you to incorporate interesting architectural elements and fixtures. You can also consider using dark and bold cabinets, and white countertops, balanced with a more neutral backsplash or stone island. There is such a massive range of texture and decor options that encompass this colour palette and that you can choose from. In addition, there is such a huge array of furniture and lighting that you can also consider.
2. White on white
Another excellent colour scheme that creates an elegant, timeless and minimalist look is white on white. Although white on white is not to everyone’s liking, it is however great at creating a timeless look. In addition, this colour scheme makes it relatively easy to match other kitchen accessories and appliances. Clever use and blending of cabinets, countertops, floors, islands, and appliances can create a high end finished look. Furthermore, white creates a chic and timeless look that can stand the test of time.
3. White and timber
To attain a more natural look, you can make use of white and timber. Interestingly, these two pallets work very well together and compliment each other. In most cases people are put off by the cost of timber however there are cheaper alternatives that mimic the look of timber and look just as great. In addition to offering budget-friendly alternatives, laminates also provide a stunning look that is just as good as the real thing. The use of white enables the natural beauty of the timber to come to the fore. As such, combining a predominantly white palette with natural timber makes for a stunning modern classic.
4. Blues and greys
Blues and greys are yet another excellent choice when it comes to creating a timeless kitchen colour scheme. Use of one of the colours, or a blend of both is great for adding subtle colour to the kitchen. As such, these colours are the perfect choice for introducing colour, without going overboard. In addition, these colours are timeless and can be used without fear of them dating. We highly recommend using a light colour, such as white, to help break up the darkness.
