Discover the latest Kitchen Color Trends
By Amanda Bashore of Your Home Supply
While kitchen trends vary year to year, there are a few design elements you can count on seeing over the next few years to come. The American household has recognized the importance and value of an updated kitchen: it is one of the most utilized rooms in the home that can have the largest return in the value of your estate. A classic favorite in the kitchen is dark wood cabinetry and flooring. To accent these rich tones, finish off their look with oil rubbed bronze cabinet hardware and oil rubbed bronze cabinet pulls. Oil rubbed bronze has become popular again because of its timeless elegance and class. It is reminiscent of an Old World style that is comfortable yet chic. To set off the darker hues and oil rubbed bronze cabinet hardware, select a backsplash in earth tones such as green, tan, or sharp granite with a plethora of natural hues. While natural hues are a favorite color palate when renovating a room, a hot trend in kitchens right now is fierce pops of color. To incorporate this into your space, be adventurous with your backsplash color. Warmer tones such as bright reds, shades of apricot, and yellow are inviting to the eye and also work in a kitchen because they are appetite stimulators. If you fear incorporating bright color into your room, ground it with solid features such as darker toned cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. To create a more cohesive look in the design, install stain nickel cabinet knobs on your cabinetry: they will coordinate with your appliances while still bringing high style to the neutral tone of the cabinet doors. One of the big trends in kitchen design: the smaller details. When decorating, you want to leave your own personal touch on the space, not allowing any corner to go unnoticed. Small updates can create large impact while showing personal attention to detail and care for your room. After you have installed new cabinet hardware in modern finishes such as oil rubbed bronze or satin nickel, look to see where else you can incorporate that finish. Look at any door knobs and locksets in the room that can be updated. Door knobs and lock sets are easy to switch out and can be purchased in a variety of finishes and styles. You can incorporate your selected finishes into other areas of the room as well, such as in light fixtures and ceiling fans. If you have decided to pursue a modern look with an Old World twist, select a quality ceiling fan, such as a Hunter ceiling fan, that will coordinate to your oil rubbed bronze cabinet hardware. Remember that the key to good design is the attention paid to details such as coordinating finishes in a genre of style. Whatever style you wish to pursue in your kitchen, remember to have fun with it. Try not to go overboard with too many ideas at once: keep a few classic components in the room, such as satin nickel cabinet knobs. Allow a solid basic like this to unite what could be an exotic backsplash to bold cabinetry. In the meantime, don't be afraid to play with color. Many homeowners may begin with purchasing kitchen appliances in bold hues and use that as a jumping off point to the rest of their design. When all else fails, stick to what nature intended: natural hues. This will also give you a reason to splurge part of your budget on a high end slab of granite for your countertop: this investment may be all the inspiration you need to create a color palate around. |
