3 CLEVER WAYS TO ADD COLOR TO YOUR KITCHEN

Karen — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 18:34:58 +0000

When dreaming about your new kitchen, do you dream in color? Your color selections play one of the most important roles in setting the mood for your new space – from using pale blue for a peaceful feel, to deep red for a high-energy vibe. And while it may seem like cabinets and wall colors are the only two elements to consider, adding color through tiles, appliances or even your ceiling can transform the look and feel of your space.

Using neutral-colored KraftMaid® cabinets as the foundation, you’ll have the freedom to incorporate color in some unexpected ways. Here’s a few to consider for your upcoming remodel:

1. A Bold Choice: Focus on the Fifth Wall

Sure, a white ceiling goes with everything, but it also usually goes unnoticed. If you’re open to being creative with color, try a bold, dramatic ceiling to add interest and dimension. Contrary to popular belief, a dark ceiling can actually open up the space by creating the illusion of having no boundaries. Or if you have cabinets in stains like praline cherry, bold colors like navy can balance out the orange and brown tones.

2. Modern Metallics: Stainless Steel Tile

Stainless steel isn’t just for appliances anymore. Because it plays well with nearly every color palette, this sleek metallic backsplash works especially well with dark to medium brown, black or white cabinetry, and provides a touch of modern, industrial style. If you like the idea of a metallic, but aren’t ready to go all-in on stainless, consider adding a metallic horizontal insert between white or light-colored glass subway tiles.

3. Fun and Functional: Colored Sinks, Appliances and Tops

Selecting materials and finishes for items like sinks, appliances and countertops used to come down to a list of rather finite options, with many homeowners opting for stainless steel sinks and appliances, and a muted countertop made of granite, quartz, marble or the like. Today’s homeowners looking to add some colorful show stopping accents can look to porcelain-coated sinks in vibrant blues and greens, and colored ranges and refrigerators in hues like pumpkin and burgundy. Or consider using brightly-colored knobs on your island cabinets to add a small, but impactful pop of color..

TOP 5′S: POPULAR PAINT FINISHES

by KraftMaid Marketing

Designing a new kitchen involves carefully considering many factors such as style, function and space. For some people, choosing a kitchen’s color scheme is a challenge; with so many different shades and color trends, it can be difficult to decide which paint finish is right for your kitchen cabinets. Whether you’re starting from scratch or need that extra push, our top 5 most popular paint finishes will help inspire your dream kitchen. To visualize any of these colors in your kitchen, simply order a cabinetry finish chip or door sample.

1. DOVE WHITE

We’ve shared reasons why white kitchens have plenty of staying power in a blog post, and there are so many ways to achieve a white kitchen without choosing stark white paint. Our most popular finish, Dove White (pictured above on maple cabinets), is a clean, soft shade of white that works exceptionally well in any style kitchen.

2. CANVAS

Another variety of white, Canvas (pictured above on maple cabinets), is our second most popular finish. Similar to Dove White, this finish makes a bold statement when paired with contrasting cabinets.

3. PEBBLE GREY

For those who want a neutral aesthetic without any white, Pebble Grey is a great finish color option. Pictured above on maple cabinets, Pebble Grey’s lighter hue pairs well with almost any color and works well in modern kitchen designs.

4. GREYLOFT

On the opposite end of the grey spectrum is Greyloft, a darker, bolder grey. As explained in a previous blog post, dark is the new neutral, and Greyloft (pictured above on maple cabinets) is the perfect solution for a timeless kitchen with character.

5. MUSHROOM

Last but not least is Mushroom (pictured above on maple cabinets). A true neutral, Mushroom’s creamy-beige color creates warmth – the ideal characteristic for a cozy, inviting kitchen.

Communication was key on this particular project as she trusted us to have access to her home while she was up north. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
