Beautiful ways to add pops of colour to your kitchen

If your kitchen is bland or boring, it’s time for an update. Consider those home projects that add pops of colour and beauty, inspiring you to do your best culinary work. Here are three beautiful ways to add new hues to any kitchen.

Natural Colour
For a verdant, fragrant and useful pop of colour, grow a herb garden right in your kitchen. From lavender to basil to chives, you can brighten your kitchen with natural colours, while adding some zest to salads, stews and more. Evaluate your kitchen for direct sunlight to determine the ideal size and shape of your garden, then get creative. Many people choose to create a hanging wall garden. Others prefer a tiered counter for the floor or pots for the countertop.

Functional Focal Point
Consider creating a focal point in your kitchen in an eye-catching colour that adds vitality to the space. One great way to do this is by focusing on the heart of every kitchen — the range. Experts point out that black finishes in the kitchen have re-emerged as a trending design element this year. So if you do choose black, you may prefer to emphasise this selection with a gloss finish, which can add a layer of elegance, drama and sophistication to the kitchen. Standard colours are offered everywhere, but for something more unexpected, seek out brands that also offer customisation in addition to classic choices.

Brilliant Backsplash
For a cohesive look, consider the focal point of your kitchen and build out from there with a beautiful backsplash. Backsplashes are stylishly versatile and nearly any kitchen benefits aesthetically from the addition of one. Choices of materials include mosaic glass tiles, marble, and metal — the possibilities are nearly endless – giving you a lot of flexibility in colour and texture. The kitchen is the centre of the home, where families make not only meals, but memories, too. Add beautiful bursts of colour to the space to make it a place you love to spend time.
