Is your kitchen boring? Most people don't think twice about the plain white appliances and boring floors. But what if your kitchen can have style?
Today homes are getting a new look in the kitchen. Because of the emphasis on kitchen decor families are gathering more in the kitchen.
So what makes this room in the home so appealing (besides the food?). Many designers think that a kitchen's appeal depends on its colors. Vibrant colors with high energy can create a room where people love to get together. The trick is to recognize some of the kitchen basics, and build with them or around them.
Most appliances are usually stainless steel, black or white. Kitchens usually do not have a lot of open space on the wall. Place bold colors on the walls that will compliment the colors of the appliances.
People are painting their cabinets to add style in the kitchen. Some designers will suggest using a warm color like you see in Mexican arts and crafts; like copper, henna, ginger, and gold. These bold colors are becoming more popular. For example use a burnt orange countertop and a stainless steel sink.
Traditional colors are important and in style as well. Red, yellow, and apricot are some of the more warm colors. These colors are now being used in different ways. If you want a country-style kitchen color choose green and pink but make them a rustic green with a strawberry shade of pink instead.
Ethnic influences are also helping in kitchen decor. Cultural colors are heading toward our kitchen. Chinese reds are also gaining popularity. This is because of the 2008 Olympics which was held in Beijing. The Chinese tradition was to add red as the color of good luck
What makes these trends so chic? It's not all about the color it is the combination of color and sophistication. Burnt orange can be coordinated with brilliant blue or even a deep purple. Neutral colors such as dark brown or shades of gray and soft dove to deep charcoal can help to accent the kitchen and add style.
Now that we know what colors are in which colors are out? Pay attention to the color schemes in your favorite restaurant. If it is shades of terracotta it could be Mexican or Tuscan style. Basically don't overuse the color schemes in a commercial restaurant and establishments.
Instead, give your kitchen some pizzazz with bold new colors in your kitchen cabinets as well as your curtains and area rugs. Use bold colors in the curtains, area rugs, and cabinets.
