Finding Color Inspiration
I love finding inspiration wherever I can. This is how I learn how to develop my own style and enhance my decor know-how.
When it comes to saving the kitchen paint colors I love best, I save them on my Pinterest Board for easy reference.

Blending Your Decor

Thіѕ іѕ when choosing the best kitchen paint colors саn hеlр significantly. It саn pull together the vаrіоuѕ colors in your home decor.
Maybe you want to go bold with deep color tones. How about an all-white kitchen or even better, all black!
Either way, when deciding which kitchen paint color you love, be sure it blends with the rest of your home’s decor too.
Right Kitchen Colors?
An all-white kitchen seems to hold it’s popularity in so many homes and with designers too. While white walls and cabinets are very chic and sophisticated, they can also look rather dull and lackluster.
If you decide to go with an all-white kitchen make sure you use pops of color in your decor to brighten things up and keep it interesting.
You will also want to ensure you use various textures as well so the overall look isn’t too flat and lifeless.
While using a white kitchen paint color is a safe choice, you also need to think about using off-white colors like beige, almond, light gray and even lightly colored pastels.
You can also think about use facade panels in your kitchen like I did. We used them in our kitchen foyer and I love them!

How Do I Find The Right Color?
There are other ways to choose a kitchen paint color you might not have thought about. One way is by looking at online catalogs and various interior designer websites.
Personally, this is one of my most favorite ways of searching for inspiration.
You could also check out the latest color trends from websites like https://www.pantone.com. They revolutionize the color industry with their Pantone Matching System and proprietary color space.
They set the tone for “color of the year” every year too. The fashion and decor world wait for their color of the year choice with bated breath!
Some popular kitchen paint colors are lavender, indigo, butter up, silver blue, rice grains and one of my personal favorites, sage.
They look great on just about any wall. You can also blend darker with lighter tones too. If you are a conservative person when it comes to home decor, you can opt for monochrome colors.
Take Your Kitchen Cabinets Into Consideration Before Your Paint
You might still love your all wood cabinets as I do. Not everyone likes the idea of painting their kitchen cabinets to match the walls and that’s OK.

You always need to check the amount of natural lighting you get in your kitchen before you make your final decision. Remember too that cloudy weather will also change the appearance of your kitchen by adding extra shadows.
If you choose the wrong color paint because you didn’t check the natural lighting, you really might regret it. After all, you don’t want to keep your lights on all day because you choose the wrong paint!
