When dealing with a remodeling project, your number one must do
on the top of your list should be creating a color palate with your flooring
and countertop choice. These are the two main aspects that will go into your
kitchen that you’ll need to have ironed out early. This is what everything
else will be designed around so here are a few tips to get you started in the
right direction.
To begin with, you’ll want to pick two
complementary dominant colors. By keeping these colors more neutral like dark
brown and cream or white, you’ll be able to change your kitchen more easily
should you ever choose to remodel again because you won’t necessarily have to
replace any flooring. Once you have your two main colors picked out, it’s time
to choose an accent color. This will tie the whole room together as well as
give you your starting point for designing and decorating the rest of the
kitchen.
You’ll want to begin by picking your countertops
because that is the more diverse aspect of this process. They come in many
different colors and designs that can be easily complimented by flooring so
definitely start here. While you’re considering different types of
countertops you’ll want to also consider the possibility of having a back
splash as well. You won’t want your counter to clash with your backsplash so
figure out what accents you want to use in that before ironing down what
countertop you’ll be choosing.
Once you’ve done this it’s
time to deal with the flooring. You can either match the flooring with your
cabinets, or you can use this as an opportunity to create contrast and choose
colorful cabinets and a more neutral floor. This part is entirely variant and
dependent on your own personal esthetic choices. Use these tones to help you
choose your wall colors as well. If you go for neutral warms on your cabinets
and flooring, try and use a brighter warm tone as an accent wall to brighten
and breathe more life into your kitchen helping to make it feel even more
like a home than it already does.
