Contemporary Kitchen:Colors?
hi, we have an open concept main floor, it’s not a large home: kithen, living room, dining room and a powder room only on that level. Lot’s of large windows, contemporary style. Our kitchen cabinets are fruitwood maple,stainless steel appliances; dark furniture in living and dining room and gray flooring, sage couches. Our favorite color is green, we don’t like any beige, (I love red) We have some white accessories, lamps and candles. What colors would be complemantary to green to accessorize and what greens would be good choices for the walls? Need some advice on window treatments, too. thanks!!!
Green’s color opposite is red and makes a fabulous statement when paired with green. Look to the cranberry shades to complement the sages and celeries. Wall colors can be sage, celery or even darker in contemporary environments.
Your living room needs a few shades lighter than the sage couch color, but "same" is ok here. Keep your trims in white or if stained, in a natural (similar to your kitchen cabinets).
Add some black accents to your decor, even if it’s a pair of candlesticks. Black is a grounding color and acts as a color anchor for a room. It’s an old designer trick — don’t tell anyone I told you!
Window treatments should be tailored, no florals or bold patterns; stripes ok, but tone on tone is best. Clean lines are mandatory to keep the contemporary look and feel so if you add blinds, make sure they are of contemporary styling. Remember, with contemporary — less is more. Clean, uncluttered straight lines. Add curves and texture with accessories, otherwise use a tone on tone approach to your decorating and you’ll have a winner.

A light shade of yellow or a peach color with dark green trim in the kitchen would be nice…If you like green for walls I’d suggest a lighter shade of green or pastel to give the room a larger look/feel, then contrast that with a dark colored trim…Since your cabinets are a med. brown maple painting the walls a dark color would pull them inward making the room look smaller as well…If you like red with green any mixutre of reds would be fine,from maroon or burgandy to a mauve or pink,including a bold red….using them as accent colors such as pillows,curtains,trims,lamp shades,decor items….etc…
bamboo shades or blinds with a sheer curtain panel would minimize the size of the windows some but if you want them to be bold,go for darker shades in colors…If there is no pattern in the couch fabrics then you may consider a patterned curtain too.
