Bungalow Kitchen Colors

Cream

• If you prefer light, neutral tones for your bungalow's kitchen walls, opt for a cream shade. While white is often a go-to wall color, its starkness makes it a poor fit for the Arts and Crafts style. On the other hand, because cream is a warm undertone with a yellow tint, it helps create a warm, inviting look for your kitchen. This light shade is also an ideal option for bungalow kitchen walls because it reflects the light and helps make a smaller space feel larger. You may consider painting the cabinets and woodwork in your bungalow kitchen a cream shade as well.

Brown

• Because the Arts and Crafts style is inspired by tones found in nature, brown is an ideal choice for your bungalow kitchen. Choose a warm, mid-toned brown for the most attractive look. You can use it on the walls, but it may be a better option for molding and trim. It is also an ideal shade for cabinets since many traditional Arts and Crafts kitchens feature woodwork covered in brown paint.

Gray

• Like brown, gray represents a natural tone that fits well with the bungalow style. Opt for a warm, mid-tone gray to give your kitchen a more inviting look. You can paint the walls in a gray shade, but it is also an attractive choice for the cabinets and woodwork.

Ochre

• As a warm yellow shade, ochre provides an attractive pop of color for a bungalow kitchen. It creates a warm, cozy feel for the room when used on the walls and may be paired with brown, cream and other warm tones for a balanced look. You can also use it as an accent shade if you prefer a subtle look for your kitchen.

Terra Cotta

• The reddish-brown tones of terra cotta make it an ideal color for a bungalow kitchen. A striking wall color, it instantly warms the space and is ideal complement to red oak cabinets, a common material in Arts and Crafts style homes. If you find the color too dark for the walls, consider using it for either your counter top or the molding and trim.

Olive

• Olive is a warm shade of green that provides an earthy look for a bungalow kitchen. Use it on the walls and pair it with cream, brown or ochre as an accent shade for a traditional look. You can also paint your cabinets and woodwork an olive shade. It is attractive option for built-in features like a breakfast nook as well.
