If you constantly entertain guests and host dinner parties, the kitchen is the most important room of the house. Many people strive to have a kitchen design that is both intuitively functional and aesthetically pleasing. Utilizing saturated colors in your kitchen renovation can make a statement, but you have to implement them carefully to avoid overwhelming the space.

How to Use Bold Colors in the Kitchen

1. Colorful Cabinets

Custom cabinets don’t just have to be for storage. They can also reimagine the aesthetic of the kitchen using bold, saturated paint colors.

You shouldn’t paint both the top and bottom sets the same bold color because this creates the illusion of a smaller space. Instead, paint the bottom set of cabinets your favorite bright color, and add a lighter shade of paint to the top set. This creates a pleasing aesthetic while not affecting the perceived space of the kitchen.

2. Bold Backgrounds

Incorporate saturated colors by adding a backsplash to one of the walls. Whether it’s textured, patterned, or flat, this surface allows you to utilize colorful contrasts that make a kitchen stand out.

You can also paint the inside of the cabinets with a bold color. Paint the back and sides of the interior and create more contrast by painting the shelves an opposing color for a fun pop of visual interest.

3. Additional Accessories

The accessories that are on display are just as important to the kitchen design as the walls and cabinets. Fill the space with brightly colored accessories that accentuate the countertops, backsplashes, and cupboards.

These can include bright salt and pepper shakers, loud cabinet handles and hinges, and colorful magnets for the refrigerator. All of these accessories add splashes of color that can tie the space together.

4. Fun Flooring

Incorporate saturated colors by replacing wooden or vinyl flooring with colorful tiles. There are a variety of styles, patterns, and colors that you can use, so there’s an option available to fit whatever aesthetic you have. Use the flooring as a base color and add painted cabinets that play off of that hue for added effect.
