There’s a saying in the world of interior design that “the kitchen is the heart of the home.” And if you’ve spent much time designing a kitchen, you probably know that you’re often allowed to go wild with your decorating ideas and truly create a space that doesn’t just look good, but also has you feeling right at home! However, if your kitchen is filled with stainless steel appliances, you might be struggling to brainstorm color schemes that’ll perfectly complement their shiny, contemporary aesthetic. Continue reading below to learn about a few paint colors that can pair quite well with stainless steel, so that when it’s time to kick off your interior painting, you’re set up for spectacular results!
White Is Truly Timeless
The neutral appeal of the color white works quite well with the silver of stainless steel appliances, and it can even make a kitchen feel much bigger than it actually is when applied strategically, due to the amount of light that can be reflected. This makes white a fairly safe bet, especially if you’re going for a classic look; and its numerous varieties will grant you impressive customization. Additionally, white also provides you with a clear canvas for incorporating accents throughout the rest of the space; black works well for this, as do bolder colors.
Earthy Tones Are Appealing
Earthy tones and neutral shades are both timeless and versatile, meaning they’re ideally suited for many types of design schemes. For example, choosing a dark brown hue for the backsplashes and cabinets in your kitchen will generate a warm, cozy vibe next to the silver appliances. Lighter shades of brown, such as mocha, can also be incorporated. You might also add hardwood flooring into the mix. It’s also worth mentioning that neutral shades such as gray, beige, and greige (the tasteful combination of gray and beige) often don’t require any other hues to pop, making them easy to incorporate.
Big, Bold, and Beautiful Colors Make a Statement
It’s also completely possible—and popular—to utilize bolder colors throughout a kitchen! Deep blues like sea blue or navy, earthy greens like sage or emerald, or even cherry red can be creatively used to provide a welcoming vibe. You might also consider blending some of these colors using tiled backsplashes; this gives you access to virtually the whole color wheel, leaving very few shades out as potential options.
In short, you’ll have plenty of options to consider if you’re trying to repaint a space that’s furnished with stainless steel appliances. By making a tasteful and well-informed paint color choice, you’re giving your home an impressive boost in value, livability, and of course, style!
