Makeover the kitchen with paint: what if we dared to use color?
After years of sobriety, our interiors are taking on new colors. Here is an easy trend to adopt, thanks to paint! Adopt the kitchen in color, okay: you still have to decide which one… You can even fall for the two-tone kitchen, of course. The best way to decide is to let your inspiration do the talking!
The colorful kitchen that has us cracking up this season is the sage green kitchen. It must be said that this color gives a fresh touch to any style of furniture. From rustic to Scandinavian cuisine, this soft, slightly smoky green works every time!
Glacier blue – this sky blue muted with a touch of gray – is one of the essential colors of the year. If it also adapts to almost all types of kitchens, it is particularly recommended to give lightness to imposing kitchen furniture. It’s your best ally to radically change the look of your Provencal or country kitchen.
Want to give in to the charm of bohemian cuisine? Bet on the nude color to revamp your furniture! On the walls, make way for simplicity: depending on the brightness of the room, choose white or ecru.
We barely saw it coming, and yet, the color lilac is indeed making a comeback in our interiors! And it brings a character that is both original and full of sweetness to the kitchen. If it does not lack fantasy, its great softness can make the decor a bit too wise. Do not hesitate to play the monochrome card, in order to bring relief.
If a peaceful palette is de rigueur in the bedroom or in the living room, in order to promote relaxation, the kitchen allows all fantasies. To revamp it, we fall for vibrant and dynamic colors. The secret is simply to learn how to dose. In a kitchenette, the total sunny yellow or orange look works perfectly. In a large room, on the other hand, it is better to be more measured! In this kitchen, we have associated the color orange with duck blue. The color impact is present, but the decor remains balanced and pleasant.
Opting for the two-tone kitchen is not only a question of aesthetics: it is also an effective trick to redraw the volumes or accentuate the perspective. This kitchen already benefits from beautiful dimensions. Using a lighter shade for the island helps to make the kitchen look even bigger.
Revamping the kitchen with paint often involves completely sanding the furniture. We grant you: the step can be tedious! And if you take the opportunity to delete some elements? Once the wall units have been eliminated and replaced by linear shelves, this kitchen has a vast wall surface to decorate. Pearl gray is a hit: this muted shade absolutely enhances any decor, for a kitchen with an assumed art gallery feel.
Once all the elements have been carefully sanded and the wood exposed, you can “forget” to paint some elements, especially inside the cupboards or the kitchen sideboard. These touches of raw wood bring a very modern note to the decor, in all simplicity.
It is an element that is rarely repainted – unless you dress it in white to make it disappear. In this kitchen with a gypsie spirit, we dare the beam redesigned in color, and it undoubtedly brings a touch of fantasy to the decor!
If you take advantage of the kitchen makeover to lighten the furniture, do not hesitate to think a little off the beaten track. Painting the entire wall in one and the same color is not an absolute rule, quite the contrary: a pattern as simple as a horizontal line is enough to make the decor more dynamic!
The kitchen paint allows you to repaint almost all materials, including the tiled splashback. Using a single color for the entire wall then turns out to be a profitable choice. The difference in format between tiles and wall is enough to give relief to the decor, and this monochrome aesthetic is terribly trendy.
The tiling can be a pretext to create an original decoration. Here, we play with it to draw a vertical line: a simple and effective way to imprint a strong and very contemporary character in the kitchen.
Have you opted for the open kitchen? When giving it a makeover, let yourself be inspired by this airy little kitchen. The idea to steal are the shelves, which create a nice transition between the kitchen area and the living area. A simple detail, but enough to change everything!
To revamp the kitchen, you can keep a strong element, and select colors that will sublimate it. In this small retro kitchen, it’s the terrazzo worktop that sets the tone. To select the colors of the furniture, we adopted colors strictly identical to those of its pattern.
