Contemporary Kitchen:Colors
hi, we have an open concept main floor, it is not a large home: kithen,
living room, dining room and a powder room only on that level. Lot is of
large windows, contemporary style.Our kitchen cabinets are fruitwood
maple,stainless steel appliances; dark furniture in living and dining room
and gray flooring, sage couches.Our favorite color is green, we do not like
any beige, (l love red)We have some white accessories, lamps and
candles.What colors would be complemantary to green to accessorize and what greens would be good choices for the walls?Need some advice on window treatments, too.thanks!!!
Green is color opposite is red & makes a fabulous statement
when paired with green. Look to the cranberry shades to complement the
sages & celeries. Wall colors can be sage, celery or even darker in
contemporary environments.
Your living room needs a few shades lighter than the sage couch color, but
''same'' is ok here. Keep ur trims in white or if stained, in a natural (similar to ur kitchen cabinets). Add some black accents to ur decor, even if it is a pair of candlesticks. Black is a grounding color & acts as a color anchor for a room. It is an old designer trick -- don't tell anyone I told you! Window treatments should be tailored, no florals or bold patterns; stripes ok, but tone on tone is best. Clean lines are mandatory to keep the contemporary look & feel so if you add blinds, make sure they are of contemporary styling. Remember, with contemporary -- less is more. Clean, uncluttered straight lines. Add curves & texture with accessories, otherwise use a tone on tone approach to ur decorating & you will have a winner. maybe if you want more information,You can refer to this blog which show you an article about CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN & Kitchen backsplash Ideas: (if those website not change) Contemporary Kitchen BLOG: http://contemporarykitchen-backsplashideas.blogspot.com How to get Kitchen Backsplash Ideas for ur Kitchen Article (enzinearticle): http://kitchen-backsplash-ideas2.blogspot.com/ Great Kitchen Question & Answer Blog: http://kitchen-question-answer.blogspot.com Source(S) CONTEMPORARY Kitchen Backsplash Ideas Blog http://contemporarykitchen-backsplashideas.blogspot.com Hope that helps, post back if need be- regards
A light shade of yellow or a peach color with dark green trim
in the kitchen would be nice.If you like green for walls I'd suggest a
lighter shade of green or pastel to give the room a larger look/feel, then
contrast that with a dark colored trim.Since ur cabinets are a med. brown
maple painting the walls a dark color would pull them inward making the
room look smaller as well.If you like red with green any mixutre of reds
would be fine,from maroon or burgandy to a mauve or pink,including a bold red..using them as accent colors such as pillows,curtains,trims,lamp shades,decor items..etc. bamboo shades or blinds with a sheer curtain panel would minimize the size of the windows some but if you want them to be bold,go for darker shades in colors.If there is no pattern in the couch fabrics then you may consider a patterned curtain too. >=)
