Choosing Your Kitchen Colors
Designing your kitchen colors can bring out the real personality of who you are while making a classy statement. In the latter case, certain colors used on our kitchen cabinets can represent particular foods as means of a clever theme. For the former, a choice color can let visitors know what kind of person you really are. And those with more conservative tastes can at least be sure muted colors won’t be shunned.
The Benefits of Using Red
Better Homes and Gardens claims that red enhances the appetite when it’s used in a kitchen. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should go wild with red, unless you have a wild personality. For most people, it’s best to utilize any bright red sparingly in some of the kitchen cabinetry and hone in on using it on something such as chairs. However, a lighter raspberry color used on some of the cabinets can give the subtle feeling of hunger and perhaps thoughts to guests of you baking something with raspberries.
Orange or Pumpkin Color as a Sense of Class
The color of orange is always classy in any part of the house. Placing a pumpkin color on the cabinetry of your kitchen provides a warm and inviting feeling to guests. It’s also perfect for around the holidays when you’re baking pumpkin pies and you want to convey a subtle sense of hunger. Mixing that with perhaps ebony cabinets creates even more of a warmth that works well for entertaining during the fall months.
Green or Lime for Relaxation
Another food-related color that can also represent your personality is the use of green or lime in your kitchen. Painting your cabinets with these shades can tell guests that you’re a more calm person who appreciates the same attitude when preparing food. This sense of relaxation can cross over to your guests who step into your kitchen to be sociable. Green can also remind guests of certain foods like green apples, pears or lettuce. Lime, as well, can bring the feeling of serenity as found in a straight or alcoholic drink.
Utilize the green with some stainless steel appliances, and you have an aesthetically pleasing combination.
Golden Brown or Pecan Color Combines Food with Style
A color that represents pecans might be one of the classiest shades you can go for in a kitchen. That’s because pecans are appealing to many people in eating outright or used in mouth-watering desserts. An upscale party would do well with a kitchen using this color, particularly used on the majority of the cabinets. Combined with a golden brown color on the walls, a kitchen of this type would have a classy glow.
Going Neutral with White or Vanilla Theme
There’s nothing wrong about going with a vanilla theme when white makes everything look classier and more spacious. Painting the cabinets in that color can also brighten a kitchen if you don’t have a lot of windows. However, it might be a good idea to have splashes of color around your kitchen so you’re not overly neutral. That can easily be attained by bringing in a brightly colored piece of kitchen furniture.
