How to Add Color to Your Kitchen

It seems that most families end up spending a great deal of their lives in the kitchen, so it makes sense to try to make it more interesting and add some color. You probably dont want your kitchen to be dreary and drab, but you may not be sure how to add the right touch. Try some of these simple ways to add color to your kitchen, and make your look go from boring to beautiful.

Add Color by Dressing Up Your Table
Dress up your kitchen table as an easy way to add color to your kitchen. You might add a colorful tablecloth or placemats, as well as some colorful dishware. Another way to achieve instantaneous color is by adding a centerpiece, such as flowers in a vase or basket on your oak dining room table. You want to try to find colors that complement your kitchen dcor but add interest at the same time.

Add Color with a Backsplash
Your kitchen backsplash doesnt have to be boring. You can always keep things simple with a neutral-colored tile or laminate, but you also have to option of venturing out a little and making things colorful. You should be able to find tile and laminates for your backsplash in a variety of different colors. Or you might choose to create a totally unique look by arranging broken-up colored glass in a random pattern on the wall. Not only will you create a personalized, one-of-a-kind backsplash, but youll be able to get a some different colors worked into the dcor.

Paint an Accent Wall a Different Color
Is your kitchen painted a neutral color? Paint an accent wall a different color to add some more color to the room. Choose a more open wall, one thats not completely covered with cabinets or appliances. Youll want the accent color to work well with the dcor of your kitchen. For a more subtle look, go with a matching color. But if you want the wall to really stand out, pick a color thats complementary.

Take the Doors Off the Cabinets
Showcase your colorful dishes and other tableware by taking the doors off your kitchen cabinets. If you have neutral dishes, add some pop by painting the insides of the cabinets a contrasting color. You dont need to remove every cabinet door in your kitchen, but instead choose anywhere from one to four prominent cabinets and make them your color cabinets.

Use Window Treatments to Add Interest
Chances are, your kitchen has at least one window. Why not utilize that window area to add color? For your valance or drapes, choose a color that will really stand out in the dcor. A black-and-white kitchen, for instance, would benefit greatly from some red or purple window treatments.

Adding color to your kitchen doesnt mean you have to change the entire dcor. Rather, build upon what you already have to add your own colorful touches here and there.
