Kitchen tip: Follow your heart when selecting the most pleasing color for your kitchen. Explore paint shops and consider custom-mixed paints. Industrial materials like stainless steel and concrete combine very well with dramatic paint colors like vermilion, burgundy, indigo and eggplant. Adding gloss to the paint will further enhance the tech feeling of the kitchen.

California kitchens are as varied, inspiring, and delicious as the food that's served forth in this bounteous state. The tasty kitchens of some of California's top interior designers, architects, and chefs are presented as inspiration. California kitchens are comfortable, easy-going and surprisingly traditional in style in some cases. While a trendy area, Malibu kitchen designers opt for familiar kitchen styles with a twist.
Back in the good old days, kitchens were afterthoughts, cooking areas, or drab and unfulfilling utilitarian corners hidden below rafters Today, however, they are the most used, enjoyed, and lived-in the part of a home or apartment. Kitchens in this day and age must be much more than just a place for cooking and eating food. Now they are action central and the hub of the house.

Analogous colors are neighbors on the color wheel. An analogous scheme is rich and soothing in a kitchen. If you start with blue as a foundation you might pull in adjacent colors from the wheel. For layered interest blend in tones of the intermediate colors of blue and blue-green. The trick is to allow one color to dominate the combination in a newly remodeled kitchen. Study the color wheel to come up with other analogous schemes such as red-orange-yellow or orange-yellow-green.
A room has different lines, such as the edges of a countertop or where the floor and walls meet, each of which leaves an impression. The vertical lines of a column indicate stability. The horizontal lines of a floor or ceiling suggest rest. A diagonal line, such as a slanted ceiling, gives a sense of movement. The curved line of a countertop following the shape of an oval sink seems softer or less rigid than a right angle formed by a horizontal and vertical line. Lines create interest, contributing to the style of a room. However, overuse can distract. Too many diagonal lines, for instance, forces too much movement in a space.
The eye also is drawn to simple, complete geometric shapes, such as circles, squares, rectangles or triangles. In contrast, an incomplete shape creates tension. You can see these shapes in the planes that make up newly remodeled kitchen walls, the floor, ceiling and countertops. Rectangular shapes often dominate a room. A room is most pleasing when the shapes are harmonious. Wooden steps offer a clean transition up an into a kitchen from the entryway. The pale green entryway walls frame the strongly grained patterns of the flooring and cabinetry. Cornice shelving makes a pleasing display and the horizontal lines also move the eyes cleanly into the kitchen.
