The new kitchen colors: Delicious ideas for a colorful kitchen

Vanilla yellow, sage green, candy pink – these are just three of the many delicious shades that are currently whetting our appetite for more color in the kitchen. Here are a few quick recipes for the room, along with the most important ingredients for walls and kitchen cabinets.

The right color for your kitchen

When choosing the right color, listen to your gut. Kitchens in trendy colors in showrooms or catalogs can be tempting, but you often tire of them quickly. So try to make a long-term decision and, if you're unsure, opt for more understated colors instead of going straight for the bright, bold fronts. Particularly beautiful kitchen colors include:

• Blue, e.g., royal blue, turquoise, or light blue
• Green, e.g., sage green, dark green, or lime green
• Pink, e.g., dusty rose or magenta
• Red, e.g., coral red or wine red
• Yellow, e.g., vanilla yellow or lemon yellow
• Violet, e.g., lilac or plum blue
• Orange, e.g. apricot or red-orange
• Pastel colors

Tip: Don't ignore the effects of color when planning your kitchen. According to color theory, blue, for example, has a calming effect, red has an energizing effect, and yellow radiates good cheer.

Color accents through colored walls

A less permanent, yet equally impressive, option is to paint the walls in your kitchen. A colored wall can dramatically change the feel of the room, even with simple kitchen furniture. Whether you choose to paint an accent wall or the entire kitchen, halfway up or including the ceiling, there are no limits to designing your dream kitchen.

A colorful tile backsplash is also a great way to add more color to the kitchen. Bright tiles in yellow, red, or green add color and dimension and are especially practical as a splash guard. Tip: Don't want to change the entire tile? Colored grout also creates beautiful accents.

Other color accents in the kitchen

Besides walls and kitchen cabinets, small accents can also add splashes of color to the kitchen. Colored handles and knobs, brightly colored furniture such as chairs and shelves, or colorful decorations like vases or storage containers create visual interest.

Even cooking can bring more color to everyday life. Create colorful eye-catchers in your kitchen area with brightly colored pots and pans, kitchen textiles with vibrant patterns, or other unique elements like a draining board in your favorite color.
