A Guide to Designing a Monochromatic Kitchen

With so many kitchen styles available, you may find it overwhelming to choose the best one that reflects your style. If you’re looking for remodeling ideas that can help make the space stand out, giving it the monochromatic look might be worth considering. It is, after all, one of the most popular kitchen aesthetics that emphasizes the beauty of your space and creates a backdrop for other similar colors.  

To help you design your monochromatic kitchen, The Kitchen Store shares some tips and tricks to consider.

Try Different Shades of the Same Color

The first thing you need to do when designing a monochromatic kitchen is to choose your desired color. Then, try different shades of that color and blend them into your color scheme. This way, you avoid making your kitchen space look dull. Perhaps you want to paint an ivory cabinet with a slightly lighter countertop, for instance. Although the naked eye will not pick up on the contrast at first, the subtle difference can help define the different elements in your kitchen.

Bring in Natural Wood and Metal

If you’re worried about your monochromatic kitchen ending up looking bland, bringing in wood and metal elements is a great way to break up the single-color look. Incorporating wood finishes on the cabinet interiors and the framing around the oven and cabinets helps add interest to a kitchen with a singular color. Metal fixtures in the form of cabinet knobs or drawer handles are also another interesting way to break up the monotony of the space. They may not be obvious at first, but these can help tie kitchen elements together. 

Create Contrast Through Your Accessories

Many homeowners often have their cooking utensils, equipment, and hanging towels on the countertops. Do this to add a pop of color that mixes well with your kitchen’s main monochromatic theme, creating a dramatic and contrasting effect to the space. If your monochromatic theme is white, for example, a blue towel provides a beautiful contrasting shade. Whether you use window treatments or even ovens, there are many accessories you can choose as a stylistic choice.
