Are you looking for a way to give your kitchen a sleek and modern makeover, but uncertain how to go about the process due to all of your black appliances? This undertaking might feel a little intimidating, but with the right knowledge, you can ensure that your kitchen looks and feels spectacularly refreshed. Here are a few things that every homeowner should know before they paint their kitchen filled with black appliances.
Don’t Neglect Preparation
Before diving into the painting process, it’s essential to prepare your kitchen for the work being done—kitchens are busy, functional spaces within homes, so there’s likely going to be a lot of items that need to be cleaned, covered, and put away. Since kitchens also tend to have messy surfaces, it’s wise to use a degreaser to ensure that your paint adheres properly. Additionally, if there’s any obvious damage that needs to be prepared, such as cracks or holes in walls, be sure they’re filled before things are sanded and fully prepped.
Choose Your Colors Wisely
You’ll want to consider complementary colors that will enhance the beauty of the black appliances while creating a cohesive look. Neutral tones like white, gray, beige, or taupe can work quite well with black, helping to balance out the darkness of the appliances. Natural wood textures can function similarly. A few other noteworthy options include:
Sage Green
This harmonious color can blend with virtually any décor style and is an instant mood lifter. It’ll make you and your guests feel perfectly at home, which is great if you entertain often.
Navy Blue
You might also paint a central piece of the room, like an island or the lower cabinets, navy blue, while keeping other parts of the kitchen white. Navy is timeless and iconic, so it won’t go out of style any time soon!
Red
Red exudes energy, and it’s even known to stimulate appetite, which makes it ideal for being featured in kitchens. The black of your appliances will temper it and keep it from feeling too bold.
Of course, if you have any doubts about painting your kitchen, you shouldn’t hesitate to entrust your project to a team of skilled professionals. Complementing black appliances with your paint shouldn’t be a daunting task, but rest assured, it’s very possible to achieve a stylish and modern look that will impress all who enter your home!
