Joanna Gaines Reveals Her 4 Favorite Color Combinations

After watching several seasons, we found ourselves hanging onto every design detail on “Fixer Upper.” By now, it’s safe to say we know a thing or two about Joanna Gaines, and in honor of the highly anticipated reboot, we decided to share some of her trusted color combos because when Joanna Gaines talks about home decor, we listen. Luckily for us, the Magnolia maven is sharing some of her favorite kitchen paint color combinations. She had this to say about her reveal, “The kitchen is the heartbeat of the home, which means its obviously one of my favorite spaces. It’s been so heartening to watch families gravitate towards their kitchens, again and again, this year, maybe more than ever before.” So here you have it, four of her favorite color combinations for making the kitchen a cozy space…

1. White and Cream

Joanna has this to say about this combo: “White on white paint is super versatile because it acts as a great backdrop for any style, including eclectic, modern, traditional, etc. Cream tends more toward a traditional style for me personally. However, you can always introduce more modern elements like tiles or hardware to capture whichever style you are hoping to achieve.”

2. Bold Blue and White

Joanna says: “We always like to keep the walls as neutral as possible when using a bold darker cabinet color. Dramatic color combinations like this tend to gravitate more eclectic and modern styles and are a great way to capture a moody vibe in your kitchen.”

3. Gray and White

Joanna says: “This specific color combination is mostly used in traditional kitchen styles. Feel free to interchange these colors since they are both neutrals, although I would recommend avoiding a monochromatic scheme of all gray. I do encourage you to play with fun lighting, and rugs to add accents of brightness and texture throughout the space.”

4. Light Blue/Green and White

Joanna says: “This combo can lean either to a more modern or traditional feel, so it’s a good way to add some color to your kitchen in a way that’s more subtle and classic.”

The Wisdom Segment

I Before Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis became the First Lady of the United States, and an international icon of style, she first worked as a reporter and photographer for the Washington Times-Herald. She even once interviewed Richard Nixon, who was defeated by her future husband during the 1960 US presidential election.

II If Jacqueline Bouvier had not listened to her gut feeling, she would have married John Husted with whom she was first engaged, and the world never wouldve met Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis. Husted was a Wall Street banker, and their engagement had been published by the Washington Times-Herald. But she began to doubt their relationship and called it off. She met JFK a few months later.

III Jaqueline met JFK when he was still a congressman. This was in 1952 and in that same year he was elected to the Senate. She became the third youngest First Lady when JFK was elected president in 1960. Jacqueline was adored by the nation for the fine touches, art, and culture she brought to the White House.

IV It didnt take long for Jackie O to become an icon of style. Shops were always looking to stock garments inspired by her latest style choices as women eagerly sought to emulate her. But her love for foreign fashion became an issue in the Kennedy camp. To fix this, Joseph Kennedy linked her with American designer Oleg Cassini, who became her exclusive couturier.

V Jaqueline Kennedy made it a point not to expose her two children to the public and the media any more than what was necessary. To shield them, she converted part of the White House third floor into a kindergarten school. It soon became fully functional with professional teachers and invitations extended to the children of all White House staff.

VI Jackie O was fluent in Spanish, French, and Italian, no doubt bolstering her husbands political career. When she wowed the French crowd by speaking their language fluently in 1961, JFK introduced himself as the man who accompanied Jackie Kennedy to Paris.
