Selecting the right colour scheme for your kitchen involves more than just following trends; it's about creating a balanced, personal space that stands the test of time.
Allocate 60% of the room to a dominant colour, like walls or large areas; 30% to a secondary colour, such as cabinetry or flooring; and 10% to an accent colour, found in accessories or backsplashes. This balance ensures a cohesive yet dynamic kitchen environment.
Whether you're drawn to bold, statement hues or prefer subtle, classic tones, let your style guide your decisions, ensuring your kitchen remains a cherished space.
