http://bit.ly/hstyler1 ► Nadia's tips on choosing the right kitchen paint colors: ○ Picking Colors and Materials - Go with warm tones that compliment your cabinets - Get color inspiration from the foods you regularly leave on display - Consider wallpaper - Get funky with chalkboard paint ○ Getting Creative - Paint your ceiling - Paint your wood or concrete floors - Get a professional cabinet painter - Create a pattern with stenciling ○ Using the Right Paint Type - Use a semi-gloss finish for easy clean-up - Go green with environmental friendly paints for little to no smell More Tips: ○ Deciding on a color scheme First, decide on the tone you're going for, cool or warm. If you're keeping your cabinets as they are, this may dictate your direction. For instance, warm wood tones go really great with blue and green colors, but if you have dark brown, black, or white kitchen cabinets you can go with any paint scheme. Be sure to keep in mind the color of your kitchen tile and your flooring. You wouldn't want a paint color for your kitchen walls that clashes. ○ Visualize your kitchen color scheme ideas with 3D design software If you are painting the walls, a home and kitchen design program such as Homestyler can save you a lot of time and money. You can create 3D designs of your kitchen and experiment with everything, including paint colors, so you can play with swatches in the program before you buy samples of paint. You can even look up a specific color from the paint manufacturer's library, so there's no question what you're looking for when it comes time to purchase. Another idea--consider wall treatments. They come in a variety of textures and even stripes. Experiment with Homestyler until you find ideas that feel right for you, and then share your designs online with family and friends. Then print out a list of your paint colors and take it with you when you're ready to purchase. ○ Fun painting ideas for the kitchen Paint a single wall a bright color Paint your ceiling a color other than white Experiment with stripes, wall treatments, and accents Whether it's a single wall, just a ceiling, or some carefully chosen accents, you'll be surprised how different a change of color can make a room feel.
