If you’re someone who spends quite a lot of time in your kitchen, it’s possible that lately, you’ve felt like a redesign is in order. After all, the heart of your home deserves a look that is both stylish and functional! However, you might be unsure about how to go about this process; interior painting can be a daunting process, and if your kitchen is filled with numerous sleek black appliances, you might not know where to begin planning. Here are three excellent ideas that you should consider.

1. Classic White

Since you have black appliances, you’ll want to choose a paint color that complements them well. And for that, there are few options better than white. White is timeless and has been used in interior design for centuries, and it provides a nice, clean backdrop that gives you virtually endless options when it comes to décor and accents. White will tone down the intensity of the black and allow you to add in whatever other pops of color you’d like. Off-whites and light grays can function similarly if you’d like something a little less stark than classic white.

2. Navy Blue

Another iconic option is navy; it’s pretty hard to imagine this deep, rich shade of blue going out of style anytime soon. You can paint all of your kitchen walls navy or just one single wall, or opt instead to paint a central piece of the room like the lower cabinets or a kitchen island. Navy also goes exceptionally well with white for an inspired, nautical look to tone down the boldness of your black appliances. Another option that’s not too far off of navy is harmonious, mood-lifting sage green.

3. Natural Tones

Natural textures and tones can highly elevate any space, but they can be used quite well to complement modern black slate appliances. Concrete-like stonework, light and dark-grained wood plank flooring, rustic cabinetry, or crown molding are all excellent options too that can be used with these paint schemes. A cleverly placed copper teapot or vase can tie everything together nicely.

No matter what color scheme you select, it’s also worth considering entrusting your project into the hands of skilled professionals. They’ll have the knowledge and expertise to deliver the exact results you’re imagining, ensuring that your kitchen looks its best and your black appliances are featured prominently!
