Mylands Tips For Choosing Colour For The Kitchen
Deciding on a colour scheme for the kitchen can seem daunting.
Here are our tips on what to consider when making this important decision.
1. Lighting
Kitchens with ample natural light can handle darker or bolder colours. Those with limited natural light benefit from lighter shades that reflect the light and create openness.
2. Direction
South-facing windows bring warm, yellow-toned light, complementing warm colours, whereas north-facing windows provide cooler, blue-toned light, which pairs well with cooler colours.
3. Size
For small kitchens, light colours such as whites, creams, pastels, and soft greys can make the space feel more spacious and airy. Larger kitchens can handle deeper and richer colours without feeling overwhelming.
4. Personal Preference
Your desired aesthetic also plays a role: warm pinks, yellows, or warm off-whites create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while cool colours like blue, green, and lilac offer a tranquil and relaxed environment. Whites, off-whites, and light neutrals convey cleanliness and simplicity.
