Color Trends for the Residential Kitchen

Recently we shared the latest color trends in commercial interior design. This week we are focusing on color trends in residential interior design – specifically for the kitchen. It’s always fun to see color used in new ways, and what we are seeing in 2012 is no exception!

Residential Kitchen Color Trends

Although black, white and stainless have been the classic standard recently, it’s time to throw some color into the mix. Exciting new selections in glass tiles, countertops and paint palettes create inviting spaces for cooking and entertaining. According to HGTV, the trend in kitchen design is to combine several colors to create a powerful depth and personality. Their designers recommend taking a traditional color like green and accenting it with something unusual like pink. Choose a muted tone for the walls and install a glass or tile backsplash or natural stone countertop with vibrant contrasting colors like red, yellow, or bright green.

Here we highlight a few of our products that will bring color into your kitchen.

Reflections Glass tiles provide the vibrant color and variety to complement every style of cabinetry and appliances in the kitchen. Made of high quality, heavy duty glass, it can handle kitchen traffic and repeated cleaning without losing its luster, shine, or color.
