The Perfect Tips To Paint Color For Kitchen

Your kitchen is such an important gathering place,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “You want to choose colors that make it feel warm and inviting.” That’s easy to say, but staring at a paint-store display can make you feel like you’ve been spun around the color wheel one too many times. Sort through the overwhelming spectrum of options with these five expert-approved tips.

Hands down the most popular color for kitchen walls is white. But you march to your own drummer, right? Instead of endlessly poring over paint chips, pore over these painted kitchens to see how colors play out in real rooms. And, in case you fall in love with one of the colors.

Consider longevity

News flash Gray is the new beige. “Regardless of the amount of natural light, the style of décor, or elements in a room, pale, silvery gray always works,” says Sabrina Soto, designer and host of HGTV’s The High Low Project.

Accent with a warm white

White is one of the hardest colors to select,” says Vern Yip, host of HGTV’s Deserving Design. “Pure whites almost have a bluish hue to them in certain lights. But a white that has the tiniest drop of warmth in it will be easier to work with, adaptable to other colors, and timeless.

Consider longevity

Choose a wall color you’ll be happy living with for a long time. “We like to keep the kitchen’s base palette neutral and then add pops of bright color through lighting fixtures and accessories,” says Cortney Novogratz, interior designer and host with her husband, Robert, of HGTV’s Home by Novogratz.

Match sheen to surface

he best low-luster satin and eggshell paints offer easy hiding and durability, making them ideal for most surfaces. Flat paints hide flaws better but are less resistant to stains and smudges, so use them in low-traffic areas.
