Kitchens Sell a Home: Colour Upgrades

You’ve heard that kitchens sell a home. There’s a reason for that.

The kitchen is the center of a home – it is the place where we are nourished and can share that nourishment with friends and family.

If you are going to upgrade your home, the kitchen is a great place to start.

Here are a few upgrade ideas that involve colour:

 

  • Do Some Painting

Changing the colour of a room can significant change the feeling of the environment.

You can paint brighter for a more obviously uplifting feel; or you can go neutral to provide a more peaceful space.

Also, consider that brighter, lighter colours open up a room making it appear larger, and everyone wants a bigger kitchen, right?

 

  • Pay Attention to Cabinets

Another way to add colour to your kitchen without disrupting the current wall palette is to paint cabinets instead.

Adding splashes of colour creates a “colour block” kind of texture, and can make a kitchen appear more trendy.

 

  • Try Tiles

For more visual interest, you can try adding tiles to your cooking space.

Tiling adds texture and intrigue to the kitchen without being overpowering.

As well, if you don’t want to spend the money on costly installation, you can try peel ‘n’ stick tiles like SmartTiles, which look like the real thing, won’t leave residue or peels in your paint, and can be removed at any time!
