Giving your kitchen a make over can give your home a whole new feel. If you aren't ready to completely gut it and start over, you can make some small changes to give the room a new look and feel.
Since the kitchen is the gathering place in most homes, you want it to be comfortable and it also needs to be functional. This would typically lead to a warmer color palette coming into play, as they also tend to stimulate the appetite. But you can go anyway you want, as you know what will suit your lifestyle best.
Grey, white, brown and neutral tones have been the traditional color schemes in the kitchen, but now splashes of color and brighter hues are becoming more prevalent. Incorporating a splash of color in key places can transform the room.
You can also make the size of the room appear visually different than actual size by utilizing paint from floor to ceiling, which is referred to as creating the "fifth wall". Combining different color shades in the same palate can affect the appearance visually. To make a small kitchen appear larger to the eye paint the ceiling one or two shades lighter than the walls. To bring tall ceilings in for a more
cozy feel, choose a darker shade for the
ceiling accented with lighter walls.
Not looking to re-do the whole room? Change the accessories and color scheme to compliment your appliances and cabinets. Add a bright signature piece in the form of wall art, a centerpiece or accent furniture pieces. You can change these seasonally as well so you keep in tune with the time of year it is.
These are just a few tips that you can easily and inexpensively use to mix up the look of your kitchen.
