Recipe for a Kitchen Update - Paint!

When we think of updating our kitchens, often our minds go to new cabinetry, countertops, flooring and backsplash. That type of renovation, and the sky-high budget it requires, really only happens once or twice in a home’s lifetime. Adding some colour with BeautiTone paint is a simpler, more affordable way to make an impressively dramatic change.

Colour Pops!

It may come in as the quickest weekend reno, but adding a pop of colour to your walls can have a long-lasting effect. While the perception of colour can be subjective, it has the power to influence our emotions and our lives. Don’t be afraid to play - start with some colours that speak to you personally. You’ll want to consider the colour of your cabinetry, backsplash and countertops; if they’re fairly neutral you’ll have a much wider palette to work with but, if not, don’t worry there’s still lots you can do. Warm Hugs is a cheerful hue that warms up a contemporary space.

Clean and Natural

Two tone kitchens are becoming increasingly popular as has the use of more natural wood finishes. A neutral greige, Ashen brings a fresh minimal look to the kitchen cabinets and plays well with a range of wood tones. Layer in additional organic elements - ceramics, greenery and wood accessories - for casual warmth.

Green Comfort

There’s a comfort in connecting with nature which is likely why we’re always bringing it into our homes in the way of plants, natural materials and colour. Green, in it’s range of tone and vibrancy, can be calm and refreshing as seen with Gaelic or refined and intimate like Sanctuary. And naturally, both pair exceptionally well with a range of wood finishes.
