Colour Scheme 101: How To Add Hues To Invigorate Your Kitchen Space?

A beautiful modern kitchen with a tasteful color scheme immediately catches the eye. But what makes a color scheme appealing in the first place? In this blog, Nima Kitchens, reputable designers of modern kitchens and kitchen cabinets in Vaughan, introduce the concept of color theory and 3 ways to add hues according to your taste.

What Is Colour Theory?

Color theory is a cornerstone for many interior designers and decorators. Using a colour wheel, you can identify your favorite shades and add them to your kitchen. Contrasting hues are placed on the opposite end of the wheel whereas similar tones are placed next to each other. So you can either go for opposing colors for a vivid contrast or choose hues next to each other on the color wheel to create a more relaxed vibe.

After selecting the primary shades, determine whether they are warmer or cooler colors. Then use the color at the opposite end of the wheel for accents. With this color theory as a general rule of thumb, you can’t go wrong in painting your kitchen tastefully.

Still need some help? Here are some ideas to get you started.

Choose Pastel For Class And Simplicity

A staple in bedrooms, pastel colors are equally appealing in a kitchen setting. Be it a soft, grey-tempered pink or a very light shade of baby blue, pastel colors create a relaxing vibe. Add warm cookware or hardware such as bronze and brass to create an incredibly soothing contrast.

Trick The Eye With Floating Shelves

Turn your open shelves into an intriguing spectacle by painting them in the same color scheme as the back wall. Typically, neutral colors like white or beige help create this illusion. If color drenching is not your style, make sure to add contrasting colors to the cabinetry.

Add A Pop Of Colour To Hidden Areas

Add a bit of mystery to your modern kitchen by painting some hidden nooks and areas of the space in unexpected colors. Have a wine cabinet or wet bar for entertaining guests? Paint the insides in a shade of cabernet or pink to delight the eyes. Make sure it's not very out of place but contrasting enough to draw your attention.
