4 Tips on picking the perfect colour scheme for your kitchen
From countertops to cabinet, choosing a colour scheme for your kitchen furniture is key to bringing the room together in order to create a seamless appearance. A well-designed colour scheme can also establish a feeling of warmth and personality, as well as setting a particular mood or décor theme. After many years of providing furniture in Malta, we at Carmelo Delia have shared our expertise below to help you pick the perfect patterns and hues for your kitchen.
1. Create a colour palette
Start off by choosing three different colours – one accent colour and two dominant colours. The accent colour is there to act as a medium between the two other dominant ones, which should be simple and complement each other. Classic combinations include blue walls or cabinets with yellow accents, or red walls with white accents. Consider mixing both light and dark hues for a timeless and enduring look, and using a colour wheel to identify complementary colours is an easy way to figure out what looks best.
2. Choose your kitchen façade first
One of the major focal points of a kitchen are the cabinets; they often take up more wall space than the colour of the paint or wallpaper. Colours that will stand up to long-term wear and tear are ideal, and you should examine the wood undertones of the rest of the kitchen furniture for warmer or cooler colours. Like this, they can be paired with the cabinets accordingly. Choose countertops that are neutral, so that the splashback and paint can stand out.
3. Match stainless steel with warm colours
Unless you’re going for a retro look, stainless steel goes well with any type of decor - which is why it remains one of the most popular choices of material for appliances. Metallic surfaces reflect a lot of light, making them ideal for spreading bright, bold colours around the room, giving it a warm and welcoming presence.
4. Picking the right splashback
A splashback refers to the panelling attached to the back of a stovetop to protect against splashed oil or other liquids while cooking. The colour and style of your kitchen’s splashback should be determined the style of the countertops. Light coloured splashbacks help to give the impression of a larger, more spacious kitchen.
