Kitchen Paint Ideas to Inspire You

Transformative Kitchen Painting Ideas 

Designers have explored different kitchen wall paint colours for decades. Styles may come and go, but some colour schemes will create a consistent mood for your kitchen. Let’s explore some of these colour schemes.

Choose One Colour Tone for a Cohesive Look

A single colour tone can often be a bold choice, but you’ve likely already appreciated kitchens with one colour tone before. Opting for one tone creates cohesion throughout the room, especially when cabinets and the ceiling are involved. Check out this quick guide on what colour works best for your ceilings

Which tone should you pick? Neutral tones allow other aspects of the decor to shine, while bold colours can be refreshing.

Combine Two Kitchen Paint Colors

Choosing two small kitchen paint colours is an excellent way to add depth to your kitchen and express personality. First, determine one colour, often a neutral shade or calm tone, to be the primary colour. Then, select a secondary colour for an accent wall or ceiling.

Compare these colours with paint swatches in your kitchen, if possible. Your lighting may change the way either colour appears, so it’s essential to see how they look in the room.

Choose Neutral Tones for Your Kitchen Wall Colours

Modern kitchen wall colours are often neutral. An off-white or subtle brown can complement kitchen appliances, floor tiles, and other decors. 

Modern styles are heavily influenced by minimalism. Minimalism design calls for highlighting natural elements of your kitchen, so this is an excellent option if you have wooden floors or stainless steel appliances.

Let the Cabinets Take the Center Stage

Cabinets are an essential part of your kitchen but are often overlooked. Some painting kitchen cabinets ideas include giving them a bolder colour against a softer or more relaxed tone for the walls or painting the upper cabinets a different colour from the lower cabinets to avoid repetition.

The right colours will change depending on your preferences for the room. For example, you may opt for a soft brown for the walls and a bold white for the counters. Or maybe you leave the neutrals behind and choose to add a pop of colour for a one-of-a-kind kitchen.

Some Paint Colours Never Go Out of Style

You can certainly regularly paint your kitchen to stay up with current trends. However, you may want some colours that will always be in style, such as:

• Whites
• Greys
• Soft browns
• Cool blues or greens
• Subtle reds
