White kitchen walls are a classic, timeless choice that adds brightness and enhances the rest of the kitchen décor. Unsurprisingly, it has been highly popular. However, in recent times, there has been a shift away from that trend, with other options becoming increasingly popular.
Why change?
While many will continue to opt for white or off-white, others feel that white walls lack the individuality that another colour could convey. Some also find white too stark.
Repainting walls is generally a straightforward task that most people could manage alone. However, if you are repainting walls as part of a wider kitchen refurbishment, you will likely need some professional help. An internet search using a relevant term is a good way to find professional expertise. For example, you might search for kitchen refurbishment Surrey to get results like www.thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk.
Alternatives to white
Neutral colours like beige, taupe, grey, or wood can offer the same classic, elegant look as white but with a warmer, earthy undertone. They will also complement most other colours that you have in your kitchen design.
For those who find white too sterile, a bolder colour may appeal. For example, orange may seem like an unusual choice, but in shades like terracotta, it can add a rustic look. With the kitchen seen as the heart of the home, you may also like a bright, sunny yellow to welcome everyone in or a darker hue to provide a cocooning effect.
If you do want a pale colour but with more variety and individuality, pastel shades are a good choice.
