Fun, Quick ways to Add Color into Your Kitchen
Colorful Utensils and Dishtowels:
Almost everyone has cooking utensils and dishtowels out in their kitchen at all times for visitors and guests to see. Finding fun colorful alternatives to the normal, boring, standard wooden spoon or beige drying cloth can help take your kitchen from drab to fab, for only a few dollars!
Kitchen Art Prints:
Etsy.com is filled with pretty, fun, and also cleverly-hilarious kitchen prints. Most of them only run about $5-$15 each, and can be mounted in a frame of your choice, to match your kitchen’s overall style. Also, most of these prints are totally customizable, so getting the perfect pop of color that you want in your kitchen through a piece of art, has never been easier. Whether you hang one or do an entire wall collage of them, colorful framed prints in the kitchen can definitely help to liven things up.
Small Colorful Counter Top Appliances:
If you’re in the market for new counter top appliances, or are willing to make a little bit more of a long term commitment with bold color, look into a few of these colorful beauties. From coffee makers to toasters and even hand mixers, a lot of the larger brand name small appliance companies are jumping on the color-fun bandwagon!
Painted Pantry Doors and Happy Back Splashes:
Now if you’re ready to make a bigger color statement in your kitchen, a painted pantry door or colorful back splash, may be the ticket. Even though these can be considered more of a permanent-type fixture, they are a lot less expensive to change or replace in the future, than cabinetry or flooring. I recommend these choices to homeowners who are very confident in their homes overall color scheme and who also enjoy a more dramatic splash of color in their space.

Love it! I have a tiny boring kitchen that is totally utilitarian. I had a white kitchenaid from my first marriage and I put that away when my new in-laws wanted to be me a new mixer! I couldn't choose from all the colors…loved them all, so I just got the brushed stainless one…sort of wish I would have chosen a color, of course. Someday when I own my bakery I will have one in every color! 🙂

I really love your posts and suggestions. I desperately want a bright "crayon green" kitchen but have also gone pretty neutral. I've been adding small accessories here and there but might add an island that's green cabinets on the bottom!

I'm actually trying to get away from the bright color of my house currently, and more towards the white side of life. I do love the pantry door pops of color though – I could probably live with that.

Where is that photo of the turquoise tile backsplash from?

Stacey Thomas says
Can you tell me where the wooden utensil with colored handles come from (in first picture)? I didn't see a link to them. Thanks!

I love the wall prints! I might have to get the fondue one!
I just added a bright red farmhouse table to our white and black kitchen. I love how just a pop of color can make a big impact.

Great ideas, Shelley. We have very little wall space in our kitchen and a neutral backsplash so I love to add little pops where I can. I could buy kitchen towels all day-they are so inexpensive and there are so many colorful ones out there. Thanks for some more inspiration!
Printing Ray says
I love your idea. Its a great way to make your kitchen bright because mostly the kitchens have lower space and if they become colorful then look like a decoration piece. I want to cook something in your kitchen.
