Color ideas for painting a kitchen | eHow UK

Transform your basic kitchen into a theme room with paint. Green and white creates a retro kitchen. You can even make a worn wood floor look like tile with a checkerboard pattern. Use blue and white checks for a cottage space. A black and white kitchen can have an Edwardian or modern feeling. Black walls with white cabinets create a striking effect. A country kitchen may include cream cabinets, yellow walls and an island painted in a different colour like sage. Base the colour palette around your favourite food like chocolate brown or tomato red. Kitchen paint can work with existing features in the room. Bring out colours in your granite to showcase your favourite material. Black cabinets make stainless steel appliances stand out. A neutral kitchen in cream and taupe will appeal to a wide variety of people and work with different stone and wood elements. If you don t want to paint the cabinetry and walls, spice up a neutral kitchen with a red pantry door or sage French door.
