Some ideas about redesigning
How to use our cabinet fronts? Shape and color play a big part in any design planning. It is the area where you can add the most of your personal touch. Let’s talk a bit about how shape and color can affect the feel of any space.
You can use different colors to create an impression of coldness or warmth. More interestingly, you can optically widen or reduce your space. This is especially important if you have a very big or tiny kitchen.
Let’s dive into the actual rules of color usage:
Warm colors – we can intuitively recognize which colors are warm or cool. In general, warm colors are the ones that contain more yellow, orange, and red than others. If you need a precise definition, you should check it out on the internet. Warm colors make the room look cozier and smaller. They optically seem closer than cool colors. It is a also a great way to visually warm up a large space.
Cool colors – the classic cool colors are blue and green. Some people include light purple in that group, but it works differently in space design. Cool colors, blue and light blue especially, make rooms look more spacious. Also, they imitate vast expanses of nature, such as rain forest or the ocean. It a creates calming and refreshing feeling.
Black and white – these colors are perceived as neutral, although when put together in a kitchen, these two alone can create some feelings of anxiety and uneasiness. Using all black is very risky, but all white or white with slight black and gray accents is a very good choice for any kitchen.
Colors can also put you into any mood. If you want to calm down, you probably will need some cool shades of blue or green. Reds make us more playful, but they can also trigger anger or even aggression if someone is in a bad mood.
If you plan a dining room or eating space in your kitchen, it is good to know that colors can also affect appetite and digestion. Red, yellow, and orange are typically considered the “tastiest” of all colors. Furthermore yellow boosts digestion and liver functions. Combined with a little bit of warm green, they make up the perfect environment for eating.
