How To Choose The Best Paint Colors For Your Kitchen

3 Questions to Get You Thinking Outside the Bread Box

For most of us, the kitchen isn’t only where we make dinner. Good design—including paint colors—should always support the function of a room. That’s why the #1 most important question to ask yourself when starting a kitchen makeover is: What does my family actually use the kitchen for? Every family is unique. Your kitchen can be too!

Do the kids do their homework at the breakfast bar?
Does the whole family gather there for casual weekday meals?
Do you ever entertain guests in and around the kitchen area?
Can you see the kitchen from the dining or living rooms?
Once you determine your kitchen’s most common uses, ask yourself: What kind of environment am I trying to create?

Crisp, Fresh, and Contemporary: Big clean blocks of white with robin’s egg blue or aquatic teal accents… Keep the peace with this serene color scheme to keep kitchen chaos at bay.

Unique and Eclectic: Rich jewel tones, interesting contrasts, and accents that POP… Hey, it’s your house! Take risks with bold colors and funky textiles. The best kitchen cabinet painting in Philadelphia will get you the best results!

Dark and Dramatic: Pitch black, dark maroon, dark green… Deep dark hues create elegant drama. Try glossy black cabinets for an instant upgrade.

This process takes time! Spend an hour (or three) on Pinterest, and see what appeals to you. Then, ask yourself the all-important question: What will I be painting? There are so many fun ways to bring your chosen color scheme out of your imagination and into the kitchen!
