November 08, 2019/ Appliance Educator

As home and kitchen design are constantly evolving, homeowners are moving out of the trend of neutral color schemes and are becoming more bold with their color choices. But, sometimes it is difficult to make that drastic of a transition. Luckily, incorporating the color blue is the perfect solution. Blue is the color of the year and years to come simply because it bridges the gap between conservative and bold. You can use any shade of blue, such as a blue-grey periwinkle tone or pastel blue to work perfectly with neutral colors, or you can use an electric blue to really give your kitchen a bold pop of color. Every kitchen design should reflect the homeowners style or personality - and there is surely a way to implement blue in every shape and form!
