Everyone needs to remodel their kitchen at some point, so it is important to have a well thought out plan before beginning the process. Part of that plan should include deciding the color scheme that you want to work with, as well as the variation of tones and accents. Making wise choices can mean the difference between having an incredible looking kitchen that increases the value of your home, and having a kitchen that is awkward or impractical.
The Most Versatile Colors
In order to create an up-to-date look that easily coordinates with other kitchen elements, choose earth tones that stay on the lighter side of the color spectrum. Some people choose to use white and then accent with a splash of color here or there. If you choose white as your base color, make sure that you use enough accent color to break up the monotony. If there isn't enough color to give texture and dimension, you will end up with a stark, cold look that may be somewhat unappealing. Another color that is sure to stay in style for years to come, and is easy to match other items in the kitchen, is beige. Beige doesn't have to be bland, it can be quite striking if there are plenty of other earth tones to give it contrast and appeal. Adding splashes of medium brown and cream can create a comfortable, yet sophisticated look. If you are a fan of the contemporary look, you can give a gray theme a try. Gray has the ability to work well with a wide range of colors, which makes it the most versatile color to use with during a kitchen remodel.
Your choice of color can dramatically impact the look and feel of a remodeled kitchen. Use dark colors sparingly and keep the main color theme neutral.
