Depending upon your individual color
preferences, kitchens offer an ideal opportunity to let your color imagination
soar!
Color: For those homeowners that
prefer bright colors, kitchens offer a blank canvas for applying colorful paint
and wallpaper border combinations to wall coverings.
Add new life to worn or dated cabinets by
applying a complementary paint color to update the existing appearance.
Neutral Tones: "Color
conservative" folks may opt to inject a soft palette of personality with
the clever addition of painted stencil borders and motifs (including currently
popular themes such as garden and natural designs) that coordinate with
existing kitchen themes.
Paint Techniques: Consider
coordinating a decorative paint treatment, such as ragging, combing, etc. (see Decorative
Techniques) with a contemporary wallpaper border. Or, if you love the look of
decorative paint but lack the time to complete such a project, explore the
possibility of adding a "faux" wallpaper border (that mimics
decorative paint techniques) to a painted, solid color wall.
Additional Decorative Ideas:
Add color and pattern to a plain, white
tile backsplash by applying color with a freehand or stenciled painted design.
Inject a splash of color to ordinary
beadboarding with the clever application of paint.
Camouflage a damaged floor by selecting
colors that are prevalent within your kitchen color scheme and painting a
"faux" tile design.
Unify a mismatched dinette set by painting
the table and chairs using one cohesive color.
Customize furnishings by applying a
whimsical stamp or stencil to seats or seatbacks.
