The kitchen is a popular room of your house. Not only is it well-used, but it is also well-loved. Therefore, it is easy to see why so many homeowners invest money and time into updating this important space. From cabinetry and new appliances to organizational systems, there are many ways to enhance the kitchen. However, adding one or more new paint colors can also make the space more appealing and comforting. If you are in the process of updating your kitchen, here are a few paint trends to consider.

Grey

While it will not make an incredibly bold statement, grey can be a wonderful color for any part of your home. Considered one of the newer neutral colors, various shades of grey add color to a space in a subtle way, which appeals to many homeowners.

In your kitchen, there are many ways to incorporate grey paint. Consider painting the walls in grey, allowing your cabinets, furniture, and decorative accessories to pop out against the neutral color. Or, you can paint your cabinets in a favorite shade of grey. Pair grey cabinets with countertops in white or black to make an elegant statement.

Painted Ceilings

The walls and cabinets are not the only surfaces in your kitchen where paint can be applied. Today, more and more homeowners, builders, and designers are choosing to paint their kitchens' ceilings.

Choose a dark color for your ceiling, which works well with lighter-colored walls. This will help make a kitchen with high ceilings feel more cozy.

If your kitchen has lower ceilings or the entire rooms feels closed-off and cramped, consider painting the ceiling a lighter or brighter color than the color of your walls. A pop or blue or red on your ceiling with beige or white walls will draw the eyes up, making your space feel larger.

Black/White/Color

Black and white will always be an attractive option, so you can easily use this combination in your kitchen today. However, more a more modern approach, consider incorporating a bright, surprising color into your black and white color scheme.

Crisp, white cabinets and a shiny black countertop will look great with a red oven or red kitchen island. If red is not your style, consider painting your kitchen island yellow, which will work well with the white cabinetry, black countertops.
