Painting is one of the easiest ways to make a dramatic difference in a room, even in a kitchen, which often has less wall space. Paint is inexpensive, can be applied over a weekend, and can really spruce up a tired space without the hassle and cost of a kitchen remodel. How do you choose the perfect kitchen color? Read on for some tips and ideas.
Determine Your Kitchen’s Personality
Before you start the often arduous task of going through a paint book, step back, take a deep breath, and then take a look at your kitchen. Ask yourself some questions? Is it traditional, modern, country, etc.? What color is your kitchen now and why is it no longer working for you? Is it because you crave more excitement in your kitchen or do you want to tone it down and make the space more relaxing? Are you tired of playing it safe and want to choose a bold, trendy color or do you prefer to remain neutral? Lots of questions! Not to worry, once you determine what personality you want your kitchen to have, whether it will energize you and make a bold statement or calm you down after a long day, you can get out the color wheel, and let the fun begin.
