How can you create a cohesive color scheme for your small kitchen?

If your kitchen is small consider choosing one color for your top and bottom cabinets and go for lighter shades as this will make the kitchen feel larger. Also think about choosing a similar shade for your backsplash as well as your countertop. Your accent colors should be the cabinet door handles, the sink and faucet. keep in mind that your appliances also add a color so make sure they are all the same.

Consider the size of your kitchen. If you want it to feel larger, lean toward lighter colors. For creating a cohesive color palette, start with an inspiration color as an anchor. For a secondary color, either work with lighter and dark shades of that accent as a monochromatic color scheme, or select a complimentary color. Next, identify a neutral that will allow you to play off of it as backdrop for the accent you selected. Next, choose a trim color that is either intended to offset your other colors like a white can do, or go bold and make a statement with a darker trim such as a navy, black or charcoal gray. Introduce your colors as various materials, textures and elements to bring the whole space together.

When I'm crafting a color scheme for a small kitchen, I always make it a point to strike a balance between warm and cool tones. It's crucial for me that no single color overwhelms the others. What I find effective is introducing an accent color to counterbalance the overall scheme. For instance, if my main color is on the colder side, I ensure there's a warm accent to maintain that cozy kitchen vibe. I believe the kitchen should be a space that welcomes people, and the right color palette plays a big role in creating that inviting and cozy atmosphere

The right lighting can help amplify the space. Integrating light with design also adds a certain depth. Indirect washes of light at skirting level, under the overhead cabinet can be both good aesthetically and functionally. As a practise we tend to prefer a warm white lighting. This accentuates the finishes and make them appear rich. To make the space look larger and cohesive one should opt for minimal use of materials. Play with light and add a pop or surprise element like a quirky art, mini herb garden.

When choosing a paint scheme for a room try and stick to a pallet of 3 colors. Also use the 60/30/10 rule. The first color is dominant and takes up 60% of the space. The second color takes up 30% of the space, and the accent color takes up the remaining 10%. Remember, colors are color changing colors! That's meant to be confusing on purpose! Every paint color has undertones and some are trickier then others. Make sure all your colors are working together and not clashing.
