Spruce up your Scottsdale home in DC Ranch with a fresh coat of paint in the kitchen

If you’re looking for a way to refresh your home in DC Ranch, the kitchen is a great place to start. More specifically, you can paint the walls a color that will set a certain mood.

If you’re tired of having plain white or a neutral color on your walls, check out which paint colors are popular for kitchens right now and the fascinating psychology behind color choice.

Pale Yellow

A lot of homeowners ignore what yellow can do for their house, especially in the kitchen. That may be because it’s considered too bright for many people, but you can always tone it down by using pale yellow instead of a brighter shade. This way, you get the benefit of lightening up the room without making your walls look too bold.

As an added bonus, yellow is known for making people feel happy, calm, and hungry, which are all qualities you want from anyone hanging out in your kitchen.

 

Apple Red

Painting your kitchen with colors named for food almost seems like a no brainer. Red happens to be another color that improves the appetite, which is why it may be the perfect addition to the kitchen in your DC Ranch home. Of course, red is also considered an exciting color that can take a room from plain to sensational. If you’re worried about having such a bold color in your kitchen, you might be more comfortable just having a red accent wall.

Subtle Green

Green is known for being a soothing, pleasant color to have in the home. Lighter, more subtle shades are particularly popular for kitchens. Whether you choose sage, mint, or apple green, you can evoke an earthy, calm feel in the kitchen at your DC Ranch home. Your guests will probably appreciate the calm, and you’ll likely enjoy it as you drink your morning coffee, too.

Light Blue

If you want your kitchen to look light and airy and you love the color blue, go with a lighter shade. Try shades like robin’s egg or powder blue, as they have a knack for making rooms look clean and calming, which may be just what you need when cooking.

If you prefer darker blue shades, you can add navy blue or a similar tint, but it’s usually best to keep darker paint to a minimum when it comes to your kitchen.

Silvery Gray

Maybe you’re not quite ready to depart from a neutral color in your kitchen, but you’re bored of beige. Luckily, gray is the new must-have neutral color! Silvery gray is especially in, and it goes well with practically any other color you want to use in your kitchen. Since it’s not a bold color, you can use this shade on every wall, too.
