Adding color to your kitchen cabinets can give that most important room in your home new life and pizzazz. But did you know that color also has a strong effect on your emotional well-being?

Warmer colors  encourage us to sit around and talk, to connect with other people. They create energy and enthusiasm. The restaurant industry has known for years that certain red colors tends to stimulate the appetite. Conversely, cool colors have a calming, relaxing or serene effect. We know that reds and yellows are considered warm colors while blue is considered a cool color. However, when comparing different reds, yellows or blues, it becomes evident that there are warm and cool versions of each of these colors.

Experiment With Color

If you are thinking of adding color to your kitchen cabinets, why not spend a little time experimenting with colors in your home beforehand. Here are a few small and easy ways you can incorportate color now. Living with the color for a while may help to see what feels right to you.
  • Pick up a few old wooden stools from the thrift shop. Paint them a color you are considering. Live with them at your counter or island for a few weeks.
  • Purchase or make a simple movable  island to use for your paint experiments.
  • Do you have any glass front kitchen cabinets in your home? If so, make simple curtains in the colors you wish to consider and place inside of the glass.

Combine Colors

Why be limited to one color? A dynamic effect can be achieved by combining two colors for your kitchen cabinets. In most two toned kitchens, you would select a darker color for the lower cabinets (those below counter top level) and contrast with white (or a light color) on the cabinets above. In this scenario, the darker colored base cabinets provide a sense of grounding or anchoring to the room, while the white above opens it up. However, if you have a very large kitchen with high ceilings and want to add a more cozy feeling, you may consider using dark cabinets on top and lighter ones on the bottom.
