Color Confusion?
It can be tricky to know what colors to use when remodeling or repainting! What is trendy? What is timeless? Kitchens.com has come up with some hues for 2010 to help with this dilemma. They had the following to say about the matter:
"When it comes to putting color in your kitchen, it’s no easy task to balance the timeless tones with the trendy ones. An avocado green appliance might make your kitchen kitsch, but a bland mass of white paint is more boring than classic. So how does one choose a stylish shade with all this color confusion?
Thankfully, the Color Marketing Group, Paint Quality Institute, Pantone Color Institute, Benjamin Moore, Behr and Sherwin Williams have done that work for you. These color experts have announced their color trends for 2010 in palettes that promise to endure long after being en vogue. Their predictions set the tone in color trends for fashionistas, car manufacturers, graphic artists—and kitchen designers. Whether you’re repainting your walls, reupholstering your dining furniture, or picking an appliance in a new hue, now you too can take inspiration from these color trend reports."
They go on to cite the pallet of violets, grays, greens and turquoises as colors to look at for those color changes for this year. They give examples of tiles, cabinets, and paint allowing you to see what these rooms could look like!
So have some fun and let the experts take the guesswork out of what colors to look into when making over that room or kicking your style up a notch this summer!
