say hello to colorful kitchens
All-white everything seemed to be the trend of home decor over the last few years. And while white kitchens will always be in style, some homeowners are moving more towards color, especially in the kitchen. If a kitchen renovation or refresh is in your future and you’re itching for just a little color, try these colorful trends.
Mushroom Cabinets
First there was beige, then greige and now, mushroom. Mushroom is a beautiful paint color that has notes of beige, gray and a touch of olive. If you’re seeking a warm neutral color for your kitchen cabinets, it’s time to explore mushroom.
Add color with accessories
We get it, sometimes committing to a lot of color for your cabinet or countertop choice can be a bit daunting, since those elements are so permanent. So if you’re craving color, but don’t want to get bored of your decision later, try adding color through the use of fun accessories like lighting or chairs. Even something as simple as adding a toaster with a funky color or brightly colored salt and pepper shakers can mix things up a bit.
Go retro
Add a splash of color in an otherwise neutral kitchen when you incorporate a colorful appliance. Homeowners are having fun with retro-looking stovetops and refrigerators. You’ll be amazed at how much color a green retro fridge adds to the space!
Get creative with the backsplash
While white subway tile is classic and timeless, there’s no rule that says you can’t get a little creative with your backsplash tile color or pattern. Have fun with color when you incorporate funky patterns, blue or green colored-tile or even brick! If there’s a color you’re trying to pull into your kitchen from your adjoining living room, it’s a great idea to use it in your backsplash for added flow and cohesion.
Experiment with color on the island
Dip your toes in a fresh new color when you add a fun hue to your kitchen island. Many homeowners are loving the trend of using a different color and countertop material for their island. We love how it breaks up space and adds a fun visual element, too.
