How To Add Color To A Neutral Kitchen

A kitchen can sometimes be a space where you don’t have a whole lot of design freedom, especially if you rent.  And even if you do own your own home it can be a big step to choose colorful finishes for such expensive and long-term investments like counters, cabinets, or tile.  Even if you aren’t ready to pull the trigger on sage green cabinets there are still many ways you can bring color into your neutral kitchen with very little commitment.

Paint

Painting a single wall in the kitchen is less expensive and less of a commitment than painting the whole space, yet it still brings a great dose of color. (Dwell)

Fruits + Vegetables

Display your favorite colorful fruits and vegetables in a stylish bowl for a simple color addition. (C Home)

Kitchen Linens

Draped over your oven handle or hanging from a hook, tea towels are an easy way to bring color to your space. (Sarah Sherman Samuel)

Furniture

Whether it's barstools, a kitchen cart, or a step stool, add a simple coat of paint for a pop of color. (The Design Files)

Small Appliances

I consider this one a small commitment because I tend to keep my appliances for a long time but if you know you'll love that pink blender for years to come display it to add color to your counters. (L'appartement Living)

Plants + Herbs + Flowers

Add some color and bring the outdoors in with a fresh vase of flowers or some potted herbs. (The Every Girl)
