Hello World! Welcome Friends! Kitchens should be functional, but they can be so much more. When a kitchen looks a little dull, there is a lot that can be done to add in more color and make it a fun, welcoming part of the home. Whether you want to spruce up the kitchen during a remodel or you’re just looking for a new look for the kitchen, try out these ideas to add some more color and really make it look fantastic.
Choose a Bold Color for the Walls
During a Kitchen Remodeling project, one of the most important decisions is what color to put on the walls. Most people stick with standard colors, but this is never required. Instead, try using a bold color for the walls. Painting all of the walls a bold color can really make a huge difference in how the kitchen looks, even if nothing else is changed. Only painting one wall a bold color can help create a pop of color and add interest to the kitchen. Think about using food-inspired colors to really make the kitchen walls stand out.
Use Open Shelving and Colorful Dishes
Most kitchens hide the dishes behind cupboard doors so what the dishes look like doesn’t really matter. However, when adding color to the kitchen is desired, opening up the cupboards by removing the doors might be a great idea. Once the doors are removed, use more colorful dishes to make sure they stand out. The back of the cupboards can be painted the same color as the wall to make them look like open shelves or the cupboards can be replaced with shelves. Make sure there’s room for everything, but ensure anything on display will look great.
Add a Colorful Rug
Cooking elaborate meals can be fun, but it’s hard on feet to be standing in the kitchen for a long time. Anti-fatigue rugs might be the solution here. They are far more comfortable to stand and walk on compared to tile floors, so they can help protect feet during a cooking marathon. Plus, they come in all sorts of colors and patterns. Look for an anti-fatigue rug that’s colorful to make the kitchen more comfortable to stand in and to add a pop of color.
Change the Lighting
The right lights can make a huge difference in the overall feeling of the kitchen. Opt for colorful light fixtures to add a bit of color to the kitchen or look for a bold statement piece that can be used to light up the room. Also, consider adding lights under the cabinets to illuminate the working space. The right lights added during a remodel can completely change the entire look of the kitchen and really help brighten the space.
Create a Small Herb Garden
A little bit of green can go a long way toward bringing color into the kitchen. Instead of going outside to pick fresh herbs, consider bringing them inside. A small herb garden can add natural colors to the kitchen and will make the kitchen look more inviting. Consider using a few of the most-used herbs in brightly colored pots or hang them on the wall for a unique and fun mini garden.
Whether you’re planning a full remodel of the kitchen or you just want to make a few changes, there’s a lot that can be done to create a more beautiful, colorful kitchen. Use the tips here to add a splash of color and make your kitchen look amazing.
