From eating breakfast in the morning to preparing dinner and going over homework at night, kitchens are often bustling with activity in many homes. If you’re thinking of changing the color to make the space more appealing, the painters at GM House Painting & Power Washing, in Hampton Bays, NY, recommend choosing hues that complement appliance finishes, fixture colors, and other materials found in the space. Doing so will help unify the entire room and make it appear more luxurious. Below, Suffolk County’s premier painters share three design ideas to consider in the kitchen. 

3 Painting Tips for Kitchen Makeovers 

1. Choose Finishes that Complement Different Textures

To add visual interest to the kitchen, choose paint finishes that complement the textures found in appliances, walls, and other elements in the room. If you have a slate refrigerator or rustic wooden shelving, for example, consider splashing high-gloss paint on the walls near the installations. The shiny color will provide an interesting contrast to the dull surfaces. If the backsplash is covered with brick or tile, glossy paint on cabinetry will also contrast nicely with the rough texture.   

2. Incorporate Colors Found in Different Fixtures 

From off-white and pale pink to deep green and rich burgundy, natural stone counters are often filled with different colors. When looking for accent colors to add to trim and moldings, select one or two of the pigments found in the counters. Incorporating the color in other areas of the room will help the fixtures stand out while making the entire room appear more cohesive. 

3. Don’t Forget About Flooring

Although often overlooked, the flooring in the kitchen can also be used as inspiration when planning an interior painting project. If you have hardwood flooring, opt to paint the walls in a warm paint color with a semi-gloss finish. The paint will complement the rustic flooring and make the kitchen feel cozier and more inviting.
