Whirlpool Corporation to Explore the Transformative Effect of Color During KBTribeChat
Color has the power to evoke emotions and can set the tone in a space. It can inspire cozy and calm vibes, or offer a bright and energetic aesthetic. It can even alter the way rooms feel, making them appear more spacious or more intimate.
Consumers who have spent more time in their homes over the last year are prioritizing their surroundings and have expressed a desire for personalization. Color is an ideal customization tool that allows people to transform a home and make it their own. However, color trends come and go, and there are a myriad of ways to introduce color in the home — some better than others.
Join Whirlpool Corporation (@WhirlpoolCorp) on Wednesday, April 28, as the company hosts a KBTribeChat on ways to add interest in the home with color.
Whirlpool Corporation, the world’s leading kitchen and laundry appliance company, designs appliance solutions that offer ways to introduce various colors and finishes to enhance the aesthetics of a space. The Whirlpool Corporation brand portfolio has been thoughtfully designed to help building industry professionals meet the needs and wants of today’s home buyers, whether they’re looking for a small pop of color or a timeless stainless steel appliance.
Save the date for 2 p.m. ET Wednesday, April 28 as Whirlpool Corporation plays host to a discussion on incorporating color into the home.
Preview our chat questions: 1.) How are home color trends expected to evolve post-pandemic? 2.) What are some of today’s home design trends, and what role does color play in those? 3.) When it comes to home appliances, which colors and finishes do homeowners tend to want most and why? 4.) What are some unique ways to incorporate color into a space? 5.) What colors can we expect to see more of throughout kitchens in 2021 and beyond?
1.) The Black color trend started last year. Architectural Digest featured an article saying black kitchens will replace white kitchens in 2021. Do you see that happening?
2.) I’ve read people will not be holding back when it comes to colors and patterns in interior design this year. Many see the color trends of 2021 as exuberant and bold. How do you see this influencing kitchen design? Do you see this as a passing trend?
3.) How has our spending so much time in our homes influenced design?
4.) More people are finding comfort in the color palettes of nature: hygge. How can we apply this color trend to kitchens and baths?
5.) As 50 years from the post modern movement, some materials are coming back, glass block etc. Do you see this happening? In what way?
6.) Seeing gutsier personal expression as a design trend, how can we apply this to kitchen design? For examples murals, personalized elements, etc.
7.) Sitting in the kitchen is a common Zoom background. Colorless kitchens are boring and colorful kitchens can be distracting. Does zooming in the kitchen influence your design?
8.) In 2020 we added many features to our home, kids learning spaces, home gyms, better home offices. What have we added to kitchen design?
9.) As we are rethinking the use of our spaces at home, do you see kitchen features installed in other rooms? Fridge in a home office? Full home bars? Cabinetry & counters in kids play area, etc.?
