Some things to remember include:
- when trying to make your kitchen look bigger or smaller play with the color scheme to find the right balance
Darker colors typically leave a more serene feeling but can make a room seem smaller. Lighter colors make a room seem larger. The typical rule of the color scheme in a kitchen is to make the horizontal surfaces match one portion of the aesthetic and to make the vertical surfaces do the rest of the work.
- Colors and patterns can create a mood or feeling
Colors like blues and greens create calmness, relaxation, and a clean feeling. Reds, oranges, and yellows can stimulate an appetite, make people feel like engaging more, and feel vibrant and energetic. Large patterns make the room feel more lively, whereas small patterns make it look more refined and calm. A modern feeling can be done with geometric patterns.
- Play with textures and depths
Using wooden flooring and stone countertops could pair with Matt-finished painted wood cabinets or cabinets with decorative glass doors. Think about how the flooring, countertops, cabinets, appliances, color scheme, and patterns go with the aesthetic or style you are going with.
