Colors for kitchen fronts? How to plan your kitchen optimally!

Before buying a kitchen, the first step is professional kitchen planning Ideally, this should be done in a kitchen studio - because only here can you be sure that all eventualities and circumstances are taken into account in advance and that your ideas and budget are taken into account at the same time.

One of many points of kitchen planning is the choice of color for the kitchen fronts.

Trained kitchen planners can also help you with this decision, because they know what matters when choosing a color and what aspects to consider.

These colors always go

White and gray are not the most popular colors for kitchen fronts for nothing. The advantages are obvious: bright, white surfaces always suggest cleanliness, while gray has a calming effect. The combination of gray kitchen fronts with white countertops also contributes to this. In addition, these two colors allow a high degree of design freedom when it comes to other furnishings or decoration, as the colors do not "bite" with others. An increasingly popular color for kitchen fronts is black. Provided you have large premises, a black kitchen can exude a very special form of elegance. However, since black always has a visually diminishing effect, this, as well as other dark colors, is not recommended for small kitchen spaces, otherwise it can quickly cause a cramped feeling.

Bring color to your kitchen

Of course, with a more colorful kitchen you are clearly limiting yourself in terms of decoration, but most people try to keep their kitchen countertops as uncluttered as possible anyway, so that they don't have to pack away a whole bunch of "standing linen" before cooking. Those who keep it the same way and prefer to limit their decoration to the other rooms of the apartment can definitely dare to reach for the colored kitchen front. Pastel shades of light blue, yellow or olive green are particularly popular here and give the kitchen just enough eye-catching appeal.

The game with colors

If you have space for a more expansive kitchen and want to expand it with a cooking island, you can ideally work with color combinations and set accents at this point. For example, you can choose a very simple color contrast between a bright color and white or black: Thus, the kitchen island either in white or black can break up the overall colorful concept of the kitchen, or complement a white or black kitchen with a color accent.

Eyes on the choice of countertop

As flexible as you can be with the color design of your kitchen fronts, however, you have to pay attention to the choice of your countertop afterwards: If you prefer opulent grains such as marble look or playful wood grains, you should not steal the show from this material with overly colorful kitchen fronts, as this can quickly irritate the overall picture and cause sensory overload, on the one hand, and counteract the sophistication of a strikingly grained countertop, on the other. So it's better to decide in advance whether you want a special countertop or a colorful kitchen front design.

Match kitchen style and color

Another crucial factor that influences the choice of color is the style of kitchen. For example, those who have chosen a Country kitchen with rustic faucets, door handles and coffered kitchen fronts, it is also better to focus on the forms and not overload them with overly bright colors.
