Top Ten Kitchen Paint Color Ideas 2018

Kitchen paint color ideas can transform your room without undergoing a costly remodel. Use paint on every surface in sight for a one of a kind custom look that won’t break the bank.

Bright kitchen colors can make your room a cheery place that you may actually want to cook in. White is a traditional way to make a room brighter. Try it on the cabinets to give more light to the space and carry it onto the walls for a modern kitchen. Try painting the wood floor an unusual turquoise or pink to draw attention. You can also add color by painting diamonds on the floor to simulate a checked pattern. Olive green or cobalt blue accents Spanish tile or mosaic work. Lavender is an unusual choice for cabinets but it will give a feminine, cottage touch. If your room is feeling cold with white fixtures, stone flooring and stainless steel appliances try an olive green for more of an Old World feel.

Kitchen cabinets colors can makeover your cabinets without replacing them. If you want to show off stainless steel appliances, or you want stainless steel appliances but can’t afford them try silver paint. Metallic paint is more expensive than a regular finish but it makes a big impact and reflects light around the space. Spruce up glass cabinets by painting the insides a fresh lemon yellow or apple green.

Black is one of the new kitchen colors. While it’s always been a staple in kitchens as an accent color or on appliances it’s now taking center stage. If your room has large French doors or a wall of windows there may be enough light for slick black walls. Black cabinets look high end. Balance with white walls, or a white floor. Bring in stainless steel accents or a bright marble countertop. If you don’t want the black color to be too trendy go for an ebony stained floor or dark granite countertop.

The best kitchen colors are ones that stimulate appetite. These are warmer colors such as red, orange and yellow. Are you cringing yet? There is a reason that most fast food restaurants are painted with these colors: they get you moving and make you hungry. Try a toned down terra-cotta for a country kitchen or mustard for a retro room.

Design kitchen colors around how often you use the space and how often you want to remodel. Use color on the items that can easily be changed out such as the accessories and wall color. Keep the appliances, counters and flooring neutral. (We don’t want a repeat of that harvest gold stove now do we?)
