Is Your Kitchen Color Outdated?

I recently spoke to a very good friend of mine about her kitchen. Now without going into detail because I don't have any pictures, her kitchen is the MOST DATED KITCHEN I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Now how do you tell your best friend that her kitchen belongs in a museum? Yes, it's that bad.

Anyway, when it comes to redesigning an entire kitchen, that's a lot of money, time and aggravation. But what if the guts of your kitchen are just fine but the color is off? Then you are very lucky because that's an easy fix.

We all know that you can change the entire look of your home with color but most people really struggle with choosing the right color. 

I recently spoke with someone who wanted a green for their bathroom and just chose a green. Well I saw it and before I could press my PAUSE button, the words already came out of my mouth, “That is one minty looking bathroom!”

It was not good.

With millions of colors to choose from, how do you just choose one? That's where it gets tough for many people.

Guess they figure that they'll just choose a green or a blue and it'll look good. Well no, it doesn't work that way.

I've seen so many “baby blue, my house looks like a nursery” rooms because they chose the wrong blue.

I've seen several homes that look like you just squeezed toothpaste all over the walls because they chose the wrong green and got mint instead of sage.

I can't even tell you how many band-aid homes I've seen because they thought, “oh it's just beige, I'll pick this one” and now they are stuck with the dreaded pinky beige all over their home.

I know kitchens don't have that much wall space after all, the cabinets and appliances take up most of the space. Add in the fact that your kitchen probably opens up to your dining room or living space and even some windows may be in your kitchen as well. Not much wall space but still, it has to be the right color.

Don't gamble with color. It's just not worth it. I am available to help and I have a Virtual Design service that is perfect for this. 

Need just one kitchen color? Need color for just your first floor? Entire home? Whatever it is, just ask and in a few short hours, you'll have the right color for your home.
