How much time do you spend in your kitchen? Surveys and polls indicate that the average person spends at least one hour a day in their kitchen—meaning that this space is frequently occupied in any given home! That said, you might find yourself wondering if it’s possible to complement all of your black appliances with other colors and décor. Continue reading for a few paint color ideas that are certain to help you make the most of your kitchen.
1. Use Light Colors to Create Contrast
Balancing light and dark colors and shades to create contrast is a design technique that’s been utilized for quite some time. Black appliances tend to draw attention to themselves thanks to their sleek and shiny surfaces. But you can make these appliances pop even more if you surround them with whites, off-whites, light grays, and other lighter tones. You can add these colors to your countertops, cabinets, or even backsplash tiles to create a scheme that works for your space.
2. Take Advantage of Bold, Darker Options
If you’re obsessed with the statement that all those sleek black appliances are making, bold colors and patterns can make them feel even more featured. Consider geometric patterns, subway tiles, or mosaic designs using deep, bold options like charcoal, copper, or rustic brown. You could also consider darker, natural options such as stone patterns or dark wood grains for a timeless, earthy feel. Even adding these tones as decorations and accessories—cookware, dishtowels, and dishes—can temper the bold black color of your appliances.
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Branch Out
It’s not always easy to commit to a paint color that isn’t a traditional choice—but you shouldn’t shy away from more contemporary or modern options! Did you know that in 2018, Pinterest’s most-searched color was sage green? It blends with virtually any décor style and will instantly lift the mood of any room, regardless of the number of black appliances present. Other similar and exciting options include timeless navy blue and bold red, both of which can give your kitchen a vibrant and lively feel without feeling too overwhelming.
