Adding color to a space can be a scary process for some, but remember, you can always change it.
If you want to experiment with color, start slowly and with items that are a little less permanent than cabinets and big appliances. Here are 6 Best Ideas for Adding Color to Your Kitchen
1. Paint The Walls A Daring Color
Chances are your kitchen doesn’t have much wall space showing due to cabinets, drawers and appliances. If all of those items are neutral in color, you might want to think about making the walls a non neutral color. A pop of color on the walls will make your cabinets and appliances stand out. For example, if you have white cabinets and black or white appliances, make the walls a bright red. The cabinetry will stand out and because the walls do not show as much, the color won’t be overbearing.
2. Accents/Accessories
One of the best ways to add color to a kitchen is to do so with kitchen accessories. These items can include but are not limited to; flour and sugar canisters, vases, plates (for display), utensil holder, and small appliances such as toasters, can openers and stand mixers. If you’re feeling really bold, take a chance on getting a retro refrigerator in a funky color like baby blue or cherry red.
3. Backsplash
Adding color to a kitchen is easy especially when they have all sorts of backsplashes to experiment with. Finding a backsplash that has some difference in color can really dress up your kitchen and give it that colorful feel without being too much.
4. Pulls and Handles
An easy way to add color to a kitchen is to get all new drawer handles and cabinet pulls. There are so many fresh, colorful options out there you really can go wild. Pulls and handles can be found anywhere and actually be made of almost anything. You could buy or make them out of seashells, cogs, glass, rope, etc. and all of which can be colorful. Not only will you be adding some subtle color but you are also giving your kitchen a whole new look. You’d be surprised how different your kitchen will look after just revamping some small accessories.
5. Rugs, Hand Towels, Curtains
A cheap, extremely easy way to add color to your kitchen is with the use of linens. Add a colorful rug with a brilliant pattern to your sink area, cover windows with bright curtains, and place some colorful hand towels on the oven handle and voila, you’ve got some color.
6. Table And Chairs
Last but not least, look for ways to incorporate colors into the table settings. That might include a vase, table runner, table-cloth, napkins, and seat cushions.
