Bring Your Kitchen to Life: How to Add Color to the Heart of Your Home
Kitchens don't have to be limited to neutral tones. Adding color can completely transform the energy of the heart of your home. Whether you want a subtle splash of warmth or a bold, dramatic focal point, there are endless ways to infuse personality into your space.
If you are planning a new construction or a remodeling project, the first step is to gather your inspirations such as paint swatches, tile samples, and images, our experienced designers will help you use them to build a cohesive, colorful design.
Here are our top tips for adding a splash of color to your kitchen:
1. Make a Statement with Custom Cabinets
Because cabinets take up the most visual space, they are the perfect canvas for color. As experts in custom kitchen cabinetry, we know that choosing the right color can dictate the mood of the entire room. Cabinets can be a fun, bold color, blue and green cabinets are a popular trend we often see. If you aren't ready to commit to a fully colored kitchen, maybe the lower cabinets or island are where you start adding color, creating a beautiful two-toned look.
2. Ground the Space with Countertops
When people think of color, they rarely think of their work surfaces! However, countertops can add color and patterns to your kitchen. Whether you are debating between granite or quartz, we can help you find a surface with dramatic veining or rich earthy hues that perfectly complement your cabinetry.
3. Style Your Floating Shelves
Swapping a couple upper cabinets for floating shelves in the kitchen is a fantastic way to open up your space. Try styling shelves with colorful dishes, glassware, and vibrant kitchen accessories. This allows you to easily swap out colors as seasons or tastes change, updating your kitchen's color palette without a major remodel!
4. Play with Wallpaper and Artwork
If you have an empty wall or space that needs a little life, use wallpaper and artwork to add a splash of pattern and color. Wallpaper can serve as a stunning backdrop, while vibrant framed art brings instant personality and warmth to the room.

Today, modern appliances come in bold colors (like deep reds, blues, or greens) that can serve as the ultimate statement piece in your design.
