Choosing the perfect paint color for your kitchen is never an easy decision, and it's all the more important when your space is north-facing. "Beyond picking a color you love, understanding how light interacts with your chosen shade is paramount," explains Helen Shaw from Benjamin Moore. "One of the most significant factors influencing how a paint color will appear in your kitchen is the orientation of the room. Selecting a paint color that harmonizes with the orientation of the light in your space will make the difference between a room that feels inviting and one that falls flat."
Now, despite what people may have you believe, a north-facing room is not a kiss of death. Of course, we all love the idea of a gorgeous kitchen flooded with light, but unfortunately, this can't always be the reality. And while you can't control how much light your kitchen receives, you can control how you design it.
