Even though kitchen cabinets take up 50 percent of your wall space you should not forget about the rest of the room. The best cabinets will look out of place if the kitchen doesn’t match. Here are some helpful tips to help you pick out the best plain color to fit your new cabinets.
- Adding the right color will liven up the room.
- If you would like to stick with the current trends, look to yellows, browns, tans and grays.
- Kitchen cabinets will take up 50% or more of your wall space. This makes the wall paint on the remaining walls become important accent pieces to complement the main color of the room.
- If you have maple wood, dark paints such as forest green will work well together.
- For oak cabinets look for colors like soft blue-grays.
- Traditional cherry wood will look great with light or even bright colors.
- The whole kitchen does not need to have a loud stand-out color. If these colors are not what you want to emphasize, then keep stand-out colors to a small wall for just a splash of color.
- Backsplashes can also be used as the eye catching color while keeping the rest of the wall colors natural.
The color that you decide to paint the rest of the space to match your refaced cabinets does not need to be the star of the show. Leave that up to the cabinets. Then finish off your room with small bits of color in other areas.
