The color scheme you end up picking for your kitchen remodel can be inspired by a lot of things. Perhaps it is based on existing furnishings, a favorite piece of art, or colors that strongly resonate with you. There are a lot of design elements and products that come together to create a total kitchen. With so many different materials colliding all in one room, it is essential to evaluate how the colors and textures of every element coordinate. Having a well-designed or intentional color scheme can help you ensure you will have a cohesive color palette that is appealing to the eyes. Read on to learn more!
What is a Color Path and How Can You Create One?
A critical process with real kitchen design projects is the development of a color path, otherwise known as a design path, that will create a coherent and well-planned look for the entire space using an appealing color palette. When you are trying to figure out what the first color should be during your color path journey, resist the real temptation of selecting the wall color first. Wall paint is an inexpensive design element. Plus, there are endless color options that could easily match interior designs. It is also a lot easier to change the wall color versus changing out cabinets or countertops if you change your mind at any point down the road. It’s best to start your color path with a more permanent element that is harder to swap out down the road. Picking cabinetry and counter colors will help you determine the initial direction of your color path. Many kitchen designs now embrace black, brown, and white with splashes of Emerald Green as an accent.
Pay Attention to Color Undertones
Undertones are important to pay attention to when you’re pulling together a polished kitchen color scheme. An undertone is the underlying color apparent within most colors. You will want to make sure you’ve got the same undertones in any neutrals you pick, otherwise the space will feel a bit disjointed. When you are picking your cabinets, tiles, hardware, flooring, counters, and more. Your kitchen designer will be a very valuable asset in helping you identify materials and colors that coordinate beautifully with similar and complementary undertones.
