If the objective is to make the spaces seem bigger, you need to focus on neutral shades or place your bet on a single colour, especially if you want to ensure a certain elegance and stylistic uniformity. To create extra light in the kitchen, you need to choose gloss finishes as opposed to matt ones, which will create pleasing reflections.

If you have a modest-sized kitchen, it is advisable to paint the walls white, whereas dark walls are indicated for rooms that house large-sized kitchens. Neutral or cold colours on the walls are suitable for modern compositions, while warmer colours go well with wood finishings in rustic and contemporary-classic kitchens.

White is the solution you need to use if you have to include your kitchen into a setting with limited space. Brighter colours allow you to characterise your composition in a clean and efficient manner, creating a zone which gains depth. You should not rule out using white and black alternately which helps to give a precise division of the spaces.

The colours that go together with a modern kitchen are more original and imaginative than the colours used in a classic model kitchen. Brilliant nuances, such as Persian Red, create a young, dynamic kitchen, while combinations like yellow-black-white or green-cloud blue-white are capable of making the kitchen a real work of art.

If the kitchen is integrated into the day zone, you need to make the area lighter by choosing soft colours, for example using white for the kitchen and a neutral grey for the floor. If, on the other hand, you have a room with big windows, you can use natural tones for the floor and soft colours for the kitchen units.
