“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.”
~ WASSILY KANDINSKY

The cabinetry in your kitchen to the walls of a powder bath, color sets the tone, mood, and energy of your home. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about how you want to feel in your space every single day.

Why Color Matters

“Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.”
~ PABLO PICASSO

Color influences how large or small a room feels, whether it energizes or soothes, and how timeless—or trendy—it will look years from now. Many homeowners default to white, gray or beige for safety, but the real magic often happens when you embrace bold hues in the right places.

Small Spaces, Bold Statements

Powder baths, wet bars, and laundry rooms are perfect places to play with color. These “small but mighty” spaces let you experiment with vibrant blues, rich greens, or even moody blacks. Because they aren’t the main living spaces, they can carry a punch of personality without overwhelming the home.

The Psychology of Color in the Home

• Blue: Calm, clean, refreshing—perfect for bathrooms and bedrooms.
• Green: Grounding, natural, restorative—ideal for kitchens or mudrooms.
• Dark tones (charcoal, navy, black): Sophisticated, dramatic, cozy—fantastic for bars or accent cabinetry.
• Neutrals (white, beige, taupe): Flexible, airy, timeless—great for main cabinetry paired with bold accents.

“Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.”
~ HANS HOFMANN

Balancing Bold and Neutral

One of the secrets to timeless design is balance. Pair bold cabinetry with classic countertops. Use hardware and light fixtures to accentuate without competing. And remember—paint and tile are easy updates down the road, while cabinetry is a longer-term commitment.

“The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.”
