Find Your Inspiration

Thinking or even planning to renovate your kitchen is very stressful. Not only do you have to think about the design and concept, but you are easily discouraged and very much bothered by how much it would cost you. But do you really have to take in all those stress? Fortunately, renovation through painting is made possible. You can choose different styles and palettes that suit your theme and personality.

 Here are a few of the top kitchen painting inspirations. Feel free to discover the inner designer in you:

1.)  Avocado Peel by Martha Stewart

It looks sort of black but when hit by lights or by natural sunlight, you get a sense of how it glows. In real life, you don’t see the color as much as you feel it. Though painting the kitchen dark is counter-intuitive, it brings that sexy appeal in a neutral apartment.

2.)  Hemlock by Benjamin Moore

Blue is a popular color for kitchens. Benjamin Moore’s Hemlock is a lovely blue-green that pairs particularly well with silver accents or stainless steels. It is bold, but not too much. It is a color that looks more blue in the morning, and more green in the evening. A kind of teal and always with a grey undertone.

3.)  Verdigris by Benjamin Moore

A prized colour of nobility. It is an indication of wealth for the upper class. Its best to limit the overall palette to get away with a colour that some consider atypical. It works for kitchen with less accessories. Touch of black and white for the appliances would be perfect. It is quite hard to pull off this colour, but basically, keep it simple.

4.)  Mint Spring by Behr

it’s a cool colour. It brings the elements of breeze, beach, air, and sand to your kitchen. This palette works well with bright pinks, reds, blue, tangerine, and as always, black and white.

5.)  French Gray by Farrow and Ball

It is a perfect example of how light can change chalky paint colours. If the kitchen is facing south, it receives a good amount of natural light. It appears muted green and at times, strong green. If the kitchen is facing north, it is at a cooler temp, which becomes a colour of gentle, graceful gray all of a sudden.

6.)  Down Pipe by Farrow and Ball

Down Pipe, a dark lead grey, has definite blue undertones. Originally inspired by the colour used to paint downpipes and guttering, it has been embraced for use inside the home with fanatical zeal! Fabulous as a background to art, and extremely effective if used in halls to create a dramatic entrance to a home.

7.)  Brinjal by Farrow and Ball

This colour came from the shiny skin of an eggplant. It can create a highly sophisticated, glamorous space when used on the walls, but is more often used on a feature wall to enhance a neutral Skimming Stone room or as an accent on the underside of a bath or kitchen island.

8.)  Palisades Park by Benjamin Moore

Green but watery. Gives your kitchen that youthful glow and cool feeling. Eminates serenity, peace, and a relaxing aura. Works well with dark accents like black, and at the same time, works with bright ones like tangerine and lemon yellow.

9.)  Stiffkey Blue by Farrow and Ball

Named after the North Norfolk Beach where the mud, along with the cockles, is of this particular blue hue. Although traditional in feel, it is often used as an alternative to Down Pipe to create rich dramatic contemporary spaces. However, when used in well lit spaces, it will appear much more blue and works wonderfully when contrasted with old white.

10.)                     Retro Yellow by Benjamin Moore

Kitchens are a great place to add striking colour, to make the room that is dominated by white or chrome appliances more interesting. Sunny yellows, rich reds, and retro oranges will all provide an injection of colour to a kitchen.

The kitchen is often considered the heart of a home —a place where meals are created and consumed every day, and a space where guests tend to gather during parties or other get-togethers. The paint you choose for this room needs to be durable enough to accommodate unique temperature changes and surface challenges.
