The kitchen is both the easiest room to design but the hardest to coordinate all the colors and finishes. The easiest to design because it is a finite space and usually only certain things go into the space, although these days, appliances of all shapes and sizes have found their way into the new kitchen.
The problem with coordinating colors in the kitchen is that there are usually existing colors and also nearby colors from adjacent rooms that will affect your decisions to create a comfortable and unified space..
There was a great article from ehow.com, which addresses the subject and is worth paying attention. Log onto eHow.com to read all the details.
- Figure out what is changing in the kitchen to coordinate kitchen colors
- Find your inspiration. Look for a piece you love that works in the kitchen to create your kitchen color scheme
- Consider the space and mood you want to create. Opt for warmer, richer colors to create a cozy room or lighter and brighter ones for a sunny room. Be courageous with color, as kitchens lend themselves to brighter tones. Choose wall colors that coordinate well with the rest of your home if you have an open floor plan.
