How To Design The Perfect Kitchen Part II:

Hi there you! Yesterday, we discussed the beginning steps of designing your kitchen and figuring out the functionality of your kitchen area. Now we need to discuss how to cover your kitchen with your personality.

Pop Of Color:

Whether your pop of color comes from your wall paint, your countertop accessories, or painting your cabinets, you need some sort of eye-catching scheme. Those who know me, know I am a very OCD person [I think it runs in the family, minus my mom and Julie], so to start, do not choose dark colors. Darker colors disguise dust when the light shines. So you will end up going through Windex weekly by trying to keep everything clean.

Great colors to choose: white, greys, golds, and light blues. Once you have chosen a great pop of color, stick to it. Choosing an array of colors just gives a overwhelming vibe and makes everything feel cluttered.

Where To Place The Color:

When you are an OCD, type A person, you will grow to love storage. So my pop of color will end up on my favorite necessity, the cabinets. Most people do not consider a pop of color to be white. However, anything that stands out will make all the difference. Right now people are loving the island cabinetry to be stained a light brown and the outer cabinetry be painted either white or a light grey. These two photos are my favorite. The first one of the white cabinets is a Steve Hawkins home, while the light grey photo is from Pinterest. Once you have picked a cabinet color like white or grey then throw those colors elsewhere to make your kitchen flow.
