Which color is suitable for your kitchen?

Color is an important part of our environment, especially in the ways its used to remodel our kitchens since it influences our moods. It it is best if you select colors in the lighter and healthier shades of brown, peach, yellow, pink or blue. Color can also create the feeling of more or less space in a kitchen.

A good combination of kitchen colors in the scheme of your decoration can make your kitchen look livelier and more appealing. However mismatched color schemes can ruin your decor.

Cool, light and dull colors that keep contrast to a minimum can expand a rooms dimensions to appear larger than it actually is. While warm, dark, bright colors with several contrasts can actually shrink a space in the minds eye.

Although white continues to be the number one color used for kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures, other colors are frequently used in designing these two rooms.

Small Kitchen
Many of us are unable to have a color for the cooking area and eating area for our kitchen due to limited space. Best option is to combine a relaxing and stimulating color. For example, chose a blue paint with red undertones. Even though you do not see the red, the vibrations of the color circulate in the room to stimulate the space.

Final Paint Decision
Be brave when you decide on your kitchen paint color. Do not worry what others will think or if it is the style of the year. Design the kitchen for you and your family not for your extended family celebrations. Have fun and enjoy the process.
