Organic maple is a flexible wood using warm finishes which range from creamy off-white to mild reddish-brown tones. The selected cabinet end becomes a dominant color in the room and also in combination with the floor color, the wall color and the appliance colors is key in the basic color scheme of the space. Repeat these colours or offer contrasting accents in countertops, backsplashes, cooking accessories and equipment.
Neutral Colors
The warm effect of maple blends along with other related neutrals to get a clean, sophisticated look. Choose a paint color that is near the cabinet tone to get satisfying unity, particularly effective in a little space. A mild, warm-white tone on the wall offers a little more contrast with the cabinets but keeps an airy feeling with adequate lighting for preparing food. A deep chocolate brown produces more dramatic contrast with the cabinet color and requires attention to the attractive grain and pattern of the wood. 1 benefit of working with a neutral color scheme is that you can easily alter the look by presenting different accent colours.
Create Contrast
Complementary colours are across from each other on the basic color wheel. The natural color of maple is some form of reddish-brown, and because the complement of red is green, it’s a particularly prosperous partner for maple cabinets. A medium, slightly grayed tone of green such as sage is a brand new look with a mild or medium-toned maple finish. If the cabinets have a slightly orange cast, then a gently grayed variation of blue provides a scrumptious color statement while highlighting the cabinet color through powerful contrast. A deep gray tone offers more dramatic light/dark comparison to balance the reddish cast of maple cabinets.
Warm Neighboring Colors
Surrounding maple cabinets with warmly coloured walls creates a glowing, sunshiny space — believe Tuscan red, deep purple or pumpkin orange. Any of these colors combine with the reddish tones of pine to form convivial spaces which encourage social interaction. A warm color scheme promotes hanging from the kitchen while cooking occurs — it is particularly suitable for kitchens which have an attached family room gathering space. Light, light or dark variants of the colours allow control of brightness and tailoring for individual fashion in the room.
Coordinate Colors
Sometimes flooring are overlooked when creating a color scheme, however the color of the flooring influences all other colours in a space. When the flooring finish is a dark tone, together with maple cabinets, use a lighter worth color over the walls to keep the space from seeming little and shut in. A light flooring color looks great with most wall colours except for a color that almost matches the floor’s hue. For medium-toned flooring that are lighter or deeper than the color of the maple cabinets, paint a color tone on the walls using an identical value to the floor. That way there is a subtle harmony to the color scheme.
Repeat Colors
Unify the color scheme by repeating the wall color at least three times in kitchen accessories and equipment. Use fabric on windows or seat cushions or in table linens to echo the wall color. If appliance colors do not repeat cabinet or wall tones, choose a neutral finish, such as stainless steel, black or traditional white, in an identical value to help those bigger surfaces blend in the color scheme.
