Handleless minimalist kitchens may look sleek at first, but once the cabinets are installed, the room often needs stronger accents. Here are 20 good ideas and practical tips for kitchen design with color.
Kitchen design with color – use the backsplash as an accent
White kitchen cabinets can feel sterile, but the backsplash can change the whole impression. Use tile, mirrored tile, adhesive film, or glass in red, orange, green, or yellow to bring color into the living area and create a smooth transition between the kitchen and the living room, especially in an open-plan interior.
Kitchen design with color – the worktop as an accent
A kitchen counter in a bold color can completely change the interior. Glass or marble worktops look especially striking when they contrast with the natural appearance of wooden kitchen cabinets.
Choose matching furniture – kitchen design with color
Small details often make the biggest difference. Design the kitchen in a neutral palette, then give the interior energy with decorative pieces in rich tones. Bar stools, a rug, or pendant lights can make the room feel modern and comfortable. If you have open shelves, arrange vases or other decorative objects there for an interesting accent.
Kitchen design with color – freshen up old kitchen cabinets
Adhesive film can refresh old kitchen cabinets, and guests may never realize that the kitchen itself is not new.
