The kitchen is often considered the “heart of the home” for several reasons, but mainly because there always seems to be something going on there! Within these rooms, we cook, eat, clean, and gather—so it’s always nice for this space to not only feel functional, but also comfortable and modern. However, it’s not always easy to make it look how you’d like it to, especially if it’s filled with sleek, black kitchen appliances. Complementing the black appliances in your kitchen can be a daunting task, but it’s very possible to repaint and achieve a stylish and modern look if you plan carefully. Here are some ideas worth considering.
Bold Red
If you want to make a statement, red is a great choice. This color is bold and exudes energy, and since it’s also known to stimulate appetite, it’s an ideal hue to feature in a kitchen. The blackness of your appliances should do a lot of work at tempering the inherent intensity of the color.
Navy Blue
Navy blue is timeless, and it’s hard to imagine this iconic color going out of style any time soon. You can paint all your walls navy or opt to paint a central piece of the room, like one single wall, the lower cabinets, or a kitchen island. Navy also pairs well with white, so you can pair it with accents for an inspired, nautical look to tone down the boldness of your black appliances.
Sage Green
One of the most harmonious options you can go with for your kitchen is sage green—and recently, this color has seen a surge in popularity on Pinterest and other social media platforms. It’s an instant mood-lifter that is certain to make you, your family members, and your friends feel right at home.
Natural Elements
You might also consider complementing your modern black appliances with some natural textures in the form of light and dark wood grains, or even concrete-like stonework. Plank flooring, rustic cabinetry, crown molding, or a cleverly placed copper teapot can tie everything together and give your kitchen a nice industrial vibe.
It’s also worth mentioning that before you commit to any sort of interior painting project, especially one involving your kitchen, you take all the necessary preparatory steps. Put away any appliances, décor, or other fixtures that you don’t want to be painted, and be sure the space is adequately cleaned and repaired.
