Your kitchen is a place you may spend a lot of your time \u2013 cooking, hosting, eating, and enjoying the company of others. With trends always changing, you may be looking to refresh your kitchen space. An updated kitchen is a great way to enhance that inviting feeling. A great kitchen design style can really bring out the best in this space.<\/p>\n
In addition, when your kitchen just doesn\u2019t seem to fit the rest of your home, it can throw off the whole flow of your home\u2019s design scheme. With these five ideas for painting your kitchen, you will find one that matches your home design scheme. Read on to gain some inspiration to begin a larger design revamp of your entire home.<\/p>\n
Farmhouse Style<\/h2>\n

The farmhouse interior decor has been a popular style over the past couple of years, often referenced as rustic. The decor heavily influences the design throughout the home with rustic or white wood and furniture with an antique or weathered look.<\/p>\n
Pulling this theme into the kitchen may be slightly more challenging than incorporating it into other rooms. While you want to incorporate the \u201crustic\u201d or \u201cwoodsy\u201d theme, you also want your kitchen to look clean and inviting. Fortunately, the paint colour that you choose can go a long way in pulling this interior design together.<\/p>\n
Both pale and bright yellows are reminiscent of summertime and have a warm feeling about them. Yellows complement various materials and look great against rustic wood. Try Sherwin Williams Glad Yellow or Golden Plumeria for your farmhouse kitchen.<\/p>\n
Or bring the classic farmhouse red into your kitchen for a theme that cannot be mistaken. A red shade like Red Tomato from Sherwin Williams is cheery and exciting. It also pairs well with rustic accessories and decor, such as apples or roosters and chickens. Add a bright white trim to keep it looking sharp.<\/p>\n
Modern Style<\/h2>\n

A modern home typically features lots of smooth materials such as glass, cement, and steel. The overall atmosphere is clean and minimalistic \u2013 no muss, no fuss. All lines are straight and crisp. Certain elements of a modern kitchen, for example, maybe frameless cabinets and shelves.<\/p>\n
Modern colours can vary from neutral and calm, to bright and unique. Many allow the bold materials to take center stage and choose whites, taupes or grays as the background shade. A light gray like Sherwin Williams\u2019 Crushed Ice will set the tone for a modern, clean space.<\/p>\n
Colour blocking is also a popular method in modern home interiors. Mix a soft neutral paint colour like an off-white with a brighter shade for an interesting, fun look. Try an off-white shade with orange, or a dark blue with teal.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nTraditional Style<\/h2>\n
Traditional kitchens are typically neutral in colour, with white or wood-coloured cabinets, granite or marble countertops, stainless steel appliances.<\/p>\n
Grays, tans, and whites are most commonly seen in traditional kitchens. Light neutral paint colours such as Benjamin Moore\u2019s Ballet White and Shaker Beige are very popular and on-trend. For a bold shade that\u2019s still neutral, think of a darker colour like Hale Navy or Amherst Gray.<\/p>\n
If your entire home is more on the traditional side with mostly neutral paint colours, you may want to bring a pop of colour into the kitchen. A light green, like Sherwood Green, or a light blue, like Breath of Fresh Air, can keep the traditional theme while also bringing some excitement into the home.<\/p>\n
Craftsman Style<\/h2>\n
Craftsman style originated in the early 20th century as a reaction to the mass-production from the Victorian era. In a craftsman style kitchen, you\u2019ll see a lot of built-in shelves and cabinetry with a strong focus on wood. It\u2019s simple, classic, and strong.<\/p>\n
The paint colour for this kitchen design will rely heavily on the type and stain colour of the wood that\u2019s used. Select a colour palette that you favour, but choose a shade that has some contrast to the wood. If the wood is a dark colour or stained deep, shy away from dark colours. A light colour will make the beauty of the wood pop and bring out its richness.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re stumped on choosing a colour palette, think of the colours found in nature. A craftsman kitchen is usually wood from top to bottom, bringing a natural essence into the home. Light brown paint colours like, mossy greens and sky blues, and grays are a safe bet to create a cohesive environment.<\/p>\n
Cottage Style<\/h2>\n

A cottage style home is a charming design whether the home is an architectural cottage or not. The kitchen is the one room where this charm can really shine through. There are typically vintage fixtures, exposed cabinetry, and retro style sinks.<\/p>\n
Pastel colours come to mind when thinking of a cottage\u2019s paint colours. Pastel colours all share the same dreamy vibe that a cottage style embodies. Consider the colours throughout the rest of your home and choose one that makes the kitchen feel unique but cozy still.<\/p>\n
