Designing A Kitchen With Bright Colors and Bold Patterns

Dream kitchens come in many forms. While a classic kitchen with white cabinets and a neutral color scheme is always on point, some homeowners prefer a bit more pizzazz. From custom cabinets in your favorite hue to creating a cohesive design that works, here are few tips and elements to consider when designing a kitchen with bright colors and bold patterns.

Walls And Accents

When designing with strong colors in the kitchen, it’s best to stick to two or three shades at most. Once you settle on a color for your walls, find one or two more that complement your choice to use as an accent in furniture and decor. You can also go a few steps up or down the color swatch if you prefer an eye-catching, monochromatic look. Just be sure to choose colors that work well with your kitchen cabinet finishes. Opportunities to carry a vibrant color scheme throughout the kitchen include table linens and window treatments, plates and drinkware, wall art, small appliances, or adding a colorful tile backsplash or kitchen island.

Bold patterns and textures can be found in unexpected places in dream kitchens, like granite countertops with one-of-a-kind variations found only in nature, or hammered copper kitchen sinks. Of course, these unique details can also be added through design choices like wallpaper, area rugs, flooring and backsplash tile, decorative knobs and pulls, lighting fixtures, fabrics, and other decorative elements. Textures and patterns help to add warmth and personalization to your kitchen, but like color, should also be used thoughtfully. In particular, when mixing patterns, use a maximum of three. Vary the scale, distribute your patterns evenly throughout the room, and stick with your color scheme to create depth and visual interest without becoming overly busy.
