Choosing the right kitchen color can prove to be a difficult task. Most people love bright colors and want to achieve an intense effect - but somehow you are never sure whether the kitchen fronts and the selected shade will match. A soft earthy tone is automatically used - and the new kitchen quickly seems somehow boring. It doesn't have to be that way, because this room actually tolerates a lot of color - and leaves free space for imaginative wall designs.
Nowadays, monochrome kitchens in a puristic style are in vogue. The simple lines and the beauty of the kitchen cabinets can be highlighted even better with the right wall color. The effect is actually achieved using contrasting colors - these shouldn't necessarily be bright like orange or grass green. With muted nuances you can create a homely atmosphere with a high feel-good factor. In any case, it is advisable to first test the effect of the selected color in the room and only then paint the wall.
If you choose a contrasting kitchen design, you can't go wrong with a pastel color - olive, lime green and turquoise blue are traditionally a very popular choice. But colors such as chocolate, taupe or even pink can also give the light fronts a homely look.
Color for kitchen – the wall in purple, the cabinets in light wood color
The combination of light kitchen cabinets and purple wall proves how stylish the kitchen space can be with colored walls. In this way, the wall and cabinet colors highlight each other and the room also looks much more lively.
Modern wall in soft pink color for the kitchen
A delicate tone makes kitchens appear particularly cozy and, above all, romantic. In the example above, a pink color was chosen. Since the wood of the cabinets also has a warm tone, both color variants fit together wonderfully and complement each other.
Soft purple nuances add flair and coziness
Purple, berry, crimson or similar shades go wonderfully with white furniture. This is why such a color combination is so popular for modern furnishings. If you also combine this idea with high-gloss surfaces, you will get a particularly luxurious-looking room.
Blue wall color in the classic kitchen
Of course, white cabinet surfaces also go well with other wall colors. No matter whether you choose blue, red, green, yellow or another color, you can be sure that a harmonious interaction will be created. It doesn't matter whether the kitchen design is minimalist, Mediterranean or country house style.
Country house style in neutral nuances
However, if you don't necessarily think of strong tones as harmony, you can of course also use neutral, earthy tones such as beige, brown, cream or ocher. These colors also match any kitchen decor and can be used for different styles.
