2. Colored accessories

The trend of having different colored plates and mugs is not a new one. It may, of course, interfere with one’s sense of symmetry and the general rule that plates sell in sets, but you or your family are the imaginative type, look at how beautiful and harmonious the dishes look together. A fine touch is also represented by the colored books resting on the shelf. You don’t need to move your library in the kitchen, but grandma’s old recipe book and some health and nutrition ones may do great.colored_kitchen

 

3. In style

Now this is a kitchen a little more complex designed. The contrasting colors turn this area into a true movie set and give your kitchen that feeling of “I saw this in a luxury magazine”. To create such a kitchen may not be so expensive as you’d think. It’s not the furniture per se, but the colors you choose and the paints you are using. A little too much? Not a problem, just ask the advice of an interior designer.colored_kitchen

 

4. White can make any color spark

This is the great outcome that one obtains when combining a classical view with an original one. White walls and furniture indeed create the feeling of space, cleanness, beauty. But too much white can be tiring, not to mention a little bit boring. So add up some powerful colored chairs, some rainbow-like accessories and you will have not only a very beautiful and comfortable kitchen, but one that will brighten your day.colored_kitchen

 

5. Bi-colored

This strong combinations of colors (electric green and white) was in fashion for bathroom designs a few years back. This doesn’t mean this idea isn’t just as much brilliant for kitchens too. The wood-like floor, looking solid and warm is perfectly matched with the green, outstanding cupboards and doors, beautifully contrasting with the white isle in the middle. The other color touches are black and brown, but all these are matching colors and used in the right amounts bring together a sense of harmony and taste.colored_kitchen
