Choosing the color palette for your kitchen is always an important decision, but when you're working with a north-facing space, it becomes crucial. As Ruth Mottershead, from Little Greene, explains, "North-facing rooms are frequently the darkest areas of the home, as they often experience very little direct sunlight and tend to appear consistently flatter and cooler than they would do bathed in natural light."
Because of this, you have to be even more careful than normal when choosing colors for north-facing kitchens. What may appear as a lovely fresh white in the store can look sterile and harsh under the cool light of your north-facing kitchen.
