A Splash of Color 

We all remember the retro colors of kitchen appliances, but now they have segued to more exciting colors like turquoise, royal blue and fire-engine red. Some homeowners have applied wildly patterned and colored wall paper around the cabinets and appliances instead of interestingly colored tiled back splashes. What is trending now are shades of greens and blues, or plum, turquoise, and rusty reds and browns. Color gives your kitchen life, making it the perfect place for your family to gather. 

Kitchen Accessories 

Let's say a homeowner chooses boldly printed wallpaper to liven up the kitchen. Accessories would either complement or match the colors in the wallpaper. So many dinnerware manufacturers include teapots, milk and cream pitchers, tea pitchers, canisters and so many more accessories to their place settings that it's almost impossible not to get at least one of them. Kitchens with several of these pieces in varying colors like harvest gold, summer green, cobalt blue, baby pink, and so forth, will be alive with color. 

Remember those three foot spoon, fork and knife sets homeowners of yesteryear hung in the kitchen? They're still out there, but now homeowners are painting them in vibrant colors, attaching ribbons to them or dried flowers, greenery or wisps of dried grains. Candelabras, wall decals, herb pots, retro signs such as that found in country-type restaurants, and panels attached to the wall beneath cabinets and appliances are just some of the creative ways to decorate your kitchen.
