How to spice up your kitchen with a new splash of paint
The kitchen is a place of congregation in many homes, where you cook for your family and friends and often where you spend a great deal of time! As such, we think it is important to love the space you are in.
A great way to fall back in love with your kitchen is with a splash of paint, to spice up the space! Trust us, it works. Be bold, be creative and be patient when it comes to deciding what colours will bring your kitchen back to life.
The first consideration when choosing paint, is the theme you are going for. Here are our recommendations on how to spice up your kitchen with a fresh splash of paint. Let’s get cooking.
B-b-bold colours
A bold splash of paint might be just what you need to turn your plain jane kitchen into posh spice. What do we suggest? RED, always. It well suits the heart of the home, to have a feature wall that reps luscious red. What’s not to like… it is warm, inviting and hearty. Tied in with a red kettle and some red place mats, your guests will be wishing they had been so daring with their kitchens. If red is not your thing, be bold in other ways. A sweet pastel yellow can be the perfect complement to your quaint space. Yellow is cheerful, motivating and welcoming… all the things you want your kitchen to be! The splash of paint that is sure to spice up your kitchen is a groovy pattern behind the stove top! You might be into checked stripes, maybe a flower print or even some bright green poker dots. It really doesn’t matter as long as you love it. This idea is open to interpretation, a spark to let your imagination run with.
Browns, beiges and undertones
Browns, beiges and undertones may not be as striking, but they certainly are complimenting. This combination works well in both modern kitchens and more rustic designed spaces too. Create a sense of cool, calm and collectedness while you cook. A popular option for those who can’t decide upon a single paint colour. This combination benefits any space, adding a layer of sophistication and alluding to an eye for design by the home owner. Perfectly paint your splashback to complement the rest of the kitchen with this colour scheme. We like to think of this one as soft spice.
Statement Ovens
The splash of colour you weren’t expecting! A brightly coloured feature oven can truly spice up your kitchen. Giving off a Scandinavian vibe a feature oven can be black, red, blue or whatever your preferred colour is. This is a sure way to have your guests thinking your baking skills are off the chart and makes your kitchen stand out from the rest in the best way possible if you ask us. Tie in your oven’s pop of colour with some matching stools under the island to tie the whole look together!
All of the lights
Lighting is a great area to experiment with colour! Feature lighting is a popular option in brightening up your kitchen (pun intended). Whether you are painting the fixtures yourself or hiring an expert always ensure proper safety protocols are followed. Red pendants over the centre of the kitchen have been trending this year. We think freshly painted light pendants are a bold and enticing addition to any kitchen space.
So, ladies and gentlemen searching for some extra SPICE in their life (well kitchen), look no further. Hold back on the chili flakes and top up on the paint tins, because a new splash of paint is exactly what your tired kitchen is begging for.
We have suggested BOLD colours to liven up the heart of the home. We have counter recommended browns, beiges and undertones for a less OTT change. We explored statement ovens and coloured lighting fixtures.
