"Remodeling your kitchen can come with its headaches, but choosing aspects like the kitchen's color should be playful and fun. However, if you find yourself in doubt about which wall paint color to go with, designer and HGTV host, Hilary Farr, says blue will always be a classic. Many kitchen and home trends come and go, but when reviewing backsplash options with her clients on the show, Farr notes that she thinks blue is "forever and ever and ever.""
"Farr loves blue for kitchens for the color's classic, calming appeal, noting that at the same time it's "chic." And she's not alone - the color blue is known for its soothing effect and even therapeutic qualities. The color, while versatile, classy, and timeless, can elicit feelings of home and associations with natural elements like the expansive sky and ocean."
Blue functions as a classic kitchen color because it provides calming, chic, and even therapeutic qualities. Different shades—from maritime navy and royal blue to pastel baby blue—uniquely influence mood and atmosphere. Blue evokes natural elements such as the sky and ocean and can create comforting, homey vibes that reduce kitchen stress. Practical applications include pale blue tile backsplashes, retro patterned wallpaper, light blue appliances, and light blue cabinets paired with marble countertops. Blue pairs well with modern farmhouse elements and offers a versatile, timeless option that stands the test of changing design trends.
