Types of Kitchen Colour Combination

1. Single Colour Kitchen

You may wonder how a single-color kitchen would accentuate the overall look of the kitchen.

While going with a single color kitchen plan out the interplay of colors between your shutter handles, walls, floor, countertops as well as appliances.

2. Two-Tone Kitchen

You can choose a combination of a primary color (like red, blue, yellow, etc.) and a neutral color (like white, beige, taupe, black, etc), or maybe two contrasting colors, or even two neutral colors. Common color schemes which are quite popular and look good are black and red (bold and elegant), blue and white (cool and pleasant), or yellow and grey (bright and contemporary).

Combine Finishes- Along with two colors, mixing two different finishes can also be a good idea. High Glossy acrylic shutter with matte finish walls and countertops will create an interesting interplay of textures. 

Aim for Balance: 

While opting for a two-color scheme aiming for color balance and finishes is of utmost importance. 

Avoid using darker colors on higher cabinets as they can be quite distracting and dominate the palette. Lighter shades on top and darker shades on lower kitchen cabinets will make the kitchen look more pleasant, spacious, and clutter-free and also result in easy cleaning, and will prevent normal wear and tear. 

Indian kitchens must be immune to oil spills and curry stains. Hence darker shades are used for base cabinets and lighter shades for top cabinets to ensure easy maintenance.

Pastels + Pop of Texture: 

Pastels never go out of fashion. This year will be no exception to this norm. You can pair pastels with solid textures in monochrome or earthy shades. Wherein the lower and loft cabinets are of the same shades. And the middle-level tiles/cabinets can complement the shades. 

Go for cabinets in soft pastel shades and add depth with a backsplash made of textured tiles and Moroccan flooring without giving a loud design. 

Kitchen With Monochromatic Colours or Highlights

You can even highlight the specific area in a contrasting way- Which will add a unique appearance to your kitchen design. Either use ascent colors like white, ivory. 

This subtle colour combination creates a contemporary look and can open up space. This is also a great way to incorporate black into your kitchen.
